What's new
Hi,

I would like to ask for help to make a Forgotten Worlds conversion with Joystick controls.
Since I was offered a batch of convert ready cps1 hardware I would like to know which board works for making a Forgotten Worlds con and what Romset I need.

Thank you very much
 
Apocalypse made a rom hack for Forgotten Worlds, that uses normal joystick/button controls. I'm not sure if I have it archived or if he considered that one free, and sadly I think he's on hiatus. But it's out there.
 
Thank you very much! I tried to find the roms, but had no luck. Would you be so nice to share it with me?
Do you know if I need to take a specific CPS1 board, or does any board work?

Thank you very much
 
That hack required paying Apocalypse for the roms, it likely cannot be found on the internet
 
Hope it’s ok to ask this here, but would anyone know if it’s possible to change the language from Japanese to English on a Japanese SF2CE CPS1 board?

After defeating an opponent, the cut scenes are in Japanese, would be cool if could swap to English!

Cheers all.

Change via extensive ROM hacking/editing? Yes, its a ton of work but totally possible.
Change via USA conversion? Yes, you'll need to burn the USA set and install it (all versions of CE should use B21 C-board).
Change via something super easy, like flipping a DIP switch? No.

Understood! Thank you. How about swapping some Rom chips flashed with the USA version? I have an eeprom flasher. Apologies as no doubt answered elsewhere. 😬🙌

Speaking of, because this is a region change and not a "full" conversion... Most of the original masks can/should remain.
I'm not looking at the MAME set ATM, but I believe the diff is only 22 and 23?
I'd assume you only need to change the program roms too.
 
Yeah that's boring and known information that could've been figured out with 3 seconds of effort. ¡BUT! UN Squadron US is actually hiding inside of area88r and converting Area 88 Resale to UN Squadron is extremely simple:
araj_23.8f
0x1327: 00->01
0x4564: 00->6A

These are two addresses that need patched within araj_23.8f which switches the game over to UN Squadron :) Just do those two hex changes, burn the chip and enjoy

This does technically work in converting Area 88 Resale to UN Squandron but it causes graphics corruption and crashing. I am guessing this is because it is now looking for a B11 c board? it has the same result in mame although not quite as bad and doesn't crash.
