Possible to Convert SF Zero 2(JP) to SF Alpha 2(US) ?

[MountainDewFKR]

Im a big A2 fan and have a cps2 darksoft but would like to have a spare A2 for events.
If somebody has a Zero 2 board is it possible to convert it to Alpha 2?
Main important difference is A2 has Evil Ryu available to play. Also CE Chun, Sim , Gief are available too, they suck though.

And just to clarify i am not talking about SF Zero 2 Alpha, that is the "updated" version of the game and is complete ass.

Thanks

Yes, it's possible. Does your CPS 2 still have a battery?

I dont own it, i have a friend that has one and was going to offer to buy it off him if it was possible

How does it change the process if it has battery vs infinikey?

you gotta burn a couple roms keep the originals in the event that you ever want to go back. If you have a burner you can burn them or you can contact a place like hobby roms and they can burn them for you. IF its on battery pick up an open key or a infinikey

Had a quick look at the game. You will need to reprogram all 6 cpu roms because the Japanse and USA versions does not run the same unencrypted code. (Some games share the same code between several regions.)

If you want to run the game encrypted (on battery) it's also possible to reencrypt the USA roms with the Japanese key. If you do that you just need to reburn the 6 cpu roms (Rom 03* to 08*).
