English ROMs for Strider Hiryu 2

Post by shmuppyLove »

Is it possible to swap a couple of chips to get English on this crazy awesome game? All the EPROMS appear to be socketed on the game board.

Good question... I have the JP version as well. IIRC, the downside to the US version is that they removed the voice samples that play in the cutscenes... :shock:

That would make sense, the Japanese voices with the English text would be a bit odd, but I wouldn't mind so much.

I guess if I have the English ROM files from MAME they can be written to new chips. Hobby Roms does that?

I think myself and RGB32E would both be interested -- what's the pricing like?
