Just going by MAME, it looks like you'd need to swap out a couple of ROMs; if I'm interpreting the filenames and diagram properly, they'd be board designation U29 and U30, and the chips themselves are probably labeled "NOS-PO-T" and "NOS-PE-T". According to the MAME driver notes, they should be 27C4000 or compatible.

Sounds like a visit to Hobbyroms site and get that Korean Nostradamus PCB converted to a JPN one. It's cool to own some Korean PCBs like the Dooyong produced R-Shark arcade shmup PCB title. One of my local arcade hangouts had an R-Shark PCB in a generic Dynamo upright cab back in 1997-1998.

that would be awesome
since there are no socketed roms it is gonna be a task.
I just hope the pcb isnt encrypted.
then im back to square one.
It would be awesome to know if anyone has attempted such a task successfully.

I got my friend Dan to put in rom sockets and Jp roms
The game plays perfect in both regions.

Cool!
Good to know that you can just replace 'em without the board acting funny.
