Garegga zakk rom hack - possible for Batrider?

Post by emphatic »

Since I got my Batrider PCB (Japan B version), I've been wondering if it would be possible to patch the roms to have all the code-unlock stuff visible for each new credit. I have no idea on how to do this myself, or I would post patches right now. 8)

Awesome. I don't have an EPROM burner myself, but I'll get someone to burn it for me.

Ahh, my mistake. They're all on DIP switches in the export versions.

The IPSes didn't work on a PCB. I updated the checksum skip hack to something else, hopefully this works.

Edit: V3.

I wish I had a PCB to test myself...

I still haven't had any luck contacting my EPROM burner guy. I'll get these prepared for when he shows up though. Thank you.

No idea if this is going to work. Works fine in MAME,
but doesn't even proceed to the checksum portion when keigo tried it on his Batrider board.

If someone out there is knowledgeable about 68K asm maybe they can look over my modifications
and see if I'm missing something.

Apparently, if you're able to skip the checksum test, the patch works,
but right now it crashes when you try to run it on a real PCB.

But anyway, the DIPs should work even on the Japanese version.
Try the 3 DIPs marked as unused in the last bank.
