ST-V BIOS Region - Need a JP BIOS/board

Post by Kenchan »

Watching an ST-V board, I need another JP one. Chip numbers:

* MPR-17952A W28
* 9524K7006

Says it runs Virtua Fighter Kids (US) and Cotton (JP). What region is this board, probably?

Hmmm, not sure what region board it is. I would have to consult my JPN region ST-V mobo and report back on what numbers it has. ^_~

I recall that fellow shmupper, HD, sells such an ST-V bios chip mod that allows you to select any country region via menu selection screen regardless of what native ST-V mobo you do have. Would be worth checking it out if you do want to properly play ST-V Radiant Silvergun with the JPN region 3-button layout setup that is vastly preferred over the 2-button layout on such a USA region ST-V mobo setup.

Oh I know all about RSG being crappy on a US mobo. I actually saved the link from a while back when he was selling them on eBay, but never got around to getting one. This mobo is cheap enough to warrant picking it up tho.
