Just got a Batrider PCB with the Jap A and accompanying Korean B-roms.
I heard that the A version is not used for scoring, for some unknown reason.
What are the differences between it and the B version?

I much prefer picking up the extends instead of just getting them.
Do i need to burn a set of B-roms to get a PCB eligible for scoring?

Yeah i know, but there isn't enough info there.
Besides, the only thing that according to them differentiate between the two versions (changing Garegga option formations with C) works on my A-version.

Surprised nobody got to you with an answer.

The secret is C-button support, I think. Moving options were enjoyed by many top-flight players; it was not correct to say that the A version is not used for scoring so much as not as profitable (I suppose this could be fixed with a simple table addition...). I would fiddle with this in MAME to see if it is worthwhile to you.

Thanks for the answer!

For some strange reason using the C-button to change Garegga formations worked fine on the A-roms.
But i felt it was better to be safe than sorry so i changed the roms to B anyways. I was lucky enough that the seller didn't know that the "Korean" roms were infact Japanese.
So i still get to catch my extends.

I'm no expert on this game, get confirmation first.

Looked into this and as suspected the World of Arcades site is wrong!
Both versions have the Garegga-ships change formations with C, but since Batrider was marketed as a two-button game they added the Street Fighter moves to change formations in the B-version, so players could change formation even on a two-button layout.

*pulls off the Sherlock Holmes hat*

Thanks for the deduction, now tell me how you would like it worded on World Of Arcades ?

Wow, so you run WoA?
It's a great site. I've used the Raizing part a lot of times looking at dip switch settings etc. Saved my ass yesterday!

How about:
"This is the so called B-Version, released for the japanese market. Acc. to the manual, it allows the Garegga formations to be changed by inputting Street Fighter-style moves (for 2-button machines)"


The actual moves and the aforementioned info can be found in the lower part of the second page of the B-version manual: http://www.world-of-arcades.net/APPA/AA ... _Addon.pdf

Yes



Thanks!



Is this OK ?
