Battle Garegga, same pcb for all the versions? ProblemTAIWAN

[GuerreFroide]

Hi,
I 'd like to know something about Garegga. I guess Garegga had the same pcb for all versions right ? I mean, only the roms are changing, there is no change between the hardware pcb.

A friend bought the Taiwan version. PCB was marked at boot , Feb 3 1996 so we tought it was the ASIA version.
But he disconnected the 2 wires and right now he has :
Tue Feb 1 1996
ROM 0 = BAD
ROM = OK
Again a 5th version, but non working ? Really strange.


Anyways, it seems that there are more versions than The Sheep website;

- Version TAIWAN
Tue Feb 3 1996
Tue Feb 1 1996 not working

- Version ASIA/USA/EUR-
Ver Sat Feb 3 1996

-Version AUSTRIA HONG KONG -
Ver Sat Mar 2 1996

-Ver Denmark - China
Tue Apr 2 1996

Any help, much appreciated.
Thanks !

Not all of the ROM versions work on all the regions, so it would appear that the Feb 1 ROM doesn't much care for Nippon.

If you want to play jumperless for region, have someone burn Zakk's modified Japanese ROM. It unlocks the extra ships and resets rank between credits.

To the point I also just got one of the Taiwan BG's, grabbed a pair of ZAKK's japanese roms from hobbyroms for $20 shipped, popped it in, cut the wires and now I'm enjoying wonderful Japanese Garegga with rank resets, and unlocked ships.

Could someone post a picture of these wires, please? For future reference.
