Interesting with the Virtua Tennis! Still called R&D #3 and not Hitmaker :awe:

Strike Fighter is called "Strike Fighter in EXP" in my case

Should I send it in to get dumped? What should I honestly do?

Never seen windows quite like these before. Or maybe it's just that there aren't stickers where there should be, and there are stickers where there shouldn't be? Thoughts? Game boots up just fine, it's Korea version...

Interesting. Is it worth getting some cheap stickers to cover them?

Personally I do cover them up, as you say - stickers are cheap.

Tempted to say it is a pacman or ms-pacman or ms-pac-plus but the layout does not match and it seems not to be a Falcon pinout.

In 2009, I got two ZN-2 rom boards on ebay. The seller turned out to be also a member here. Only played them briefly and then put them into storage ever since. Dug them out recently as I plan to sell them and I just noticed something.

Tech Romancer as Asia version looks okay to me, but the combination of chips and an EURO screen for Plasma Sword / Star Gladiators 2?? Really? Or do they really look like that? Not accusing anyone yet, but will be vocal about it, if my suspicion is correct.

Thanks for any help!

SG2E is the clue there. E in Capcom labelling often denotes EU/World versions. It's not in MAME yet, you should get that ROM dumped. ROM 04 is the one which changes between US and Asia sets, so finding SG2E 04 and a Euro title screen is pretty much what you'd expect.
