Nice to see another brazilian version preserved! Thank you very much!!

Will we also have Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (EURO 940705 or ASIA 940705) preserved since USA and JAPAN versions of the same game were already done?

You can use a different region code to get your game going again even if the region your board is from isn't decrypted.... I just used the Japan Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter ROM set to revive a grey Asia region board that had suicided :)

He really meant preserve the original code. It's one of my objectives preserve all variations. Even now with the possible reprogramming of keys in the horizon people still feel it's safer to preserve the games battery less. So I'll keep working those on.

Regarding regional variations, some games like the VS series have the exact same program code across all regions so it's easy to region change mod them.

The D&D games are a different case because each regional variation had a completely different program code.

Interesting to know that some games can be region modded and others not so much - I had assumed that wouldn't be possible due to the language differences between regions

I used the Japan code on my board because the Asia region wasn't available (Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter Asia 970620) but would prefer to use the correct code if it becomes available at a later date, but it's not urgent since the board currently works :)

Trust me, you don't want the Asia version... (grunts instead of japanese attack names being spoken on audio)

But it's possible to region change the particular version you have because the ROM is identical for all regional variations.

lol didn't realize the Asia version was that bad... I think I would prefer to have English text and everything instead of Japanese though, so perhaps the US or Europe version when it's decrypted is a better option.

Even with Arcade Hacker's tool for writing keys, having a battery on the board still exposes it to catastrophic failure. I believe that getting rid of the battery is the only really safe way of preserving the games. :awe:

I wish I knew what is going on, but I really don't lol. Just noticed that some games are easier on mame then on the real board. I'd bet it boils down to some obscure detail on the emulated 68000 CPU versus the real one. 8-)
