Is Scud Race Plus named incorrectly in Games.xml?

There's no Scud Race Plus in the Games.xml as far as i can see?

Inside Games.xml there's "scudplus" and "scudplusa" but neither of these ROMs seem to actually be Scud Race Plus? These ROMs seem to be named incorrectly and are the standard Scud Race, because:

1. There's no "Scud Race Plus" on the game title screen.
2. The CMD window shows "ROM Set: scudau" which seems to be the Australian version of Scud Race.
3. There's no "Super Beginner" toy track. The toy track (pic below) is only available in SRP.

All the ROMs i've found that are actually Scud Race Plus are called scudp.zip but there is no mention of "scudp" in the Games.xml file. The scudp ROM is definitely SRP though - It has "Scud Race Plus" on the title screen, and it starts up with immediately playing the toy track in demo mode.

So are the "scudplus" and "scudplusa" ROMs named incorrectly or is the Games.xml wrong? Or both? ...Looks like it's both. But just to double check, i've tried getting both of these ROMs from many different places and they're never SRP, it's just SR.

Or am i missing something simple here?

Which emulator revision are you using? There are few changes on Games.xml happened about r844 which IIRC involves Scud Race (not sure if it affects Scud Plus though?)
Also, try to grab from another source so you'll get the correct rom.

Lastly, scudplus is still loaded correctly as Scud Race Plus, here's the proof:

I'm using build r862 but i've now found the problem (pic below). It's the ROMs, and there's a few sites with these incorrect ROMs.

From the looks of it there's both Scud Race and Scud Race Plus inside these scudplus.zip and scudplusa.zip files. I've now found the correct ROMs and they're working fine. Thanks for the help.

And if anyone else has this issue: The correct scudplus ROMs are only 7.9MB. The incorrect ROMs are 68MB.
