According to this: you need a 74hct139

You don't need the extra '139 decoder, MAD-1 can address two ROMs.

^Scroll down to MAD-1 pinout.

If there's only one mask ROM then OE will be connected to MAD-1 pin 4. If there's two mask ROMs, then ROM1 OE will connect to MAD-1 pin 16 and ROM2 OE will connect to MAD-1 pin 1 (MAD-1 pin 4 will be NC in this case). IIRC all the pins of the mask ROM are connected in parallel with the exception of OE.
