One of the best. Very receptive and fast communication, usually charges $15 for two EPROMs shipped to the US (he's in Canada).

I suggest TigerCraneFist & Grinning Cat should try hobbyroms. Seriously. I believe a US or a Canadian company can offer way better prices. And the shipping is certainly cheaper too.

If I want to change to Japanese or World version I have to change eprom 27,28,29,30 but what about 26.

EDIT
26 aint an eprom.

why put a label on it???

According to MAME, only the ROMs you listed differ between the US and World versions. The Japan version seems to be almost a completely different set, but that's at least partly due to not having the same number of ROMs, so I'm not sure exactly how that corresponds to which chips would need to be replaced on a US board if the ROM images were suitably spliced. 26 is the same for all regions.

edit: I didn't check the checksums but just noticed some source comments suggesting that the Japan set is also the same data-wise apart from those 4 ROMs.

Okay I got the World and Japan sets burnt thanks to Hobby Roms.

World version works just fine.

Japan set does not work - random garbage on screen - no coin up - no sounds.

So either the eproms are faulty or the Japan set requires even more changes.
