Pinball 2000 Wizard Blocks running on Nucore

Dear Pinball 2000 fans, dear Nucore team.
I am a really big enthusiast and lover of the Pinball 2000 system. Beside the two retail pins (rfm and swe1) I own a Wizard Blocks prototype with the original developer flash prismcard. It works, plays and sounds amazing! Maybe some of you have seen my videos on youtube...
Before you say it is the game from the TPF Expo 2016? or 2017?, no it is not! Mine don't have RGB leds! Mine don't use special modified beacon flasher!
Mine is like it was planned and designed in 1999, so it is a complete different game and use of technique (1999 vs. 201x)
I tried Nucore as primary system because flash is finite and to get one of those flash prismcards back again it is like to win the jackpot in lottery...
So I put the WB roms in the Nucore system and fired up the machine. Nucore thinks it starts Star Wars but in real it starts Wizard Blocks. It works but the sounds aren't used as they should do! Nucore don't use the regular sound roms U109 and U110 that is the reason why it is running with wrong sounds... I think the sounds are converted from the sound ROMs 109 and 110 in "swe1_14f.cpu" or "swe1_nucore.bin" for Star Wars or "rfm_nucore.bin", "rfm_u109.bin", "rfm_u109.bin" for Revenge from Mars?
It would be very nice to use Nucore completely and to get the option not to overwrite Star Wars for Wizard Blocks rather than have the possibility to switch between RFM, SWE1 and WB in Nucore system!
I don't want and need any ROM files for any game only the possibility to use them right. I appreciate it alot for any support from you.
