Bubbles Enemies Won't Fall Down Drain

I was wondering why the Williams expert (@mecha) hadn't been paged.

Odd ball issue. Did you order the right roms?

Most of these apear to be original. Some have been replaced. I'll have to burn a new set if I want the full bubbles experience.

on this issue, he can have the win. I wasn't aware prototype roms existed for Bubbles. lol

I think I maybe fixed one years ago, it's not really common
 
There seems to be three sets - bubbles, red and proto. I also did not know of the proto set. Only the other two.


These are the proto differences. 7b seems common for all.
But If that was my ROM board, I'd archive all the proto ROMS and burn a complete new set. Probably the RED?
Anyone know the differences there too in game play etc?

yeah I think I fixed a red label once, that's not the newest roms.

for posterity, is the proper version of the game... blue label?
