[Alfredo_CRG]

Hi

I got a really nice Zerowing PCB US region but I would like to change the region to Japan, is there any easy way to do this the PCB version is a TP-015, I know some Toaplan Boards needs to change the jumpers, but I would like to be sure

Thanks for your Help

There are three sets in Mame. Two of them change does let you change region between US and Europe, via the Jumpers, The Williams Licence set can't be changed to Japan region.
You need the set called "Zerowing1 (Zero Wing 1 Player version) in Mame to be able to change region to Japan.

Only the roms below needs to be changed to enable Japan region change. The other roms are the same for all the sets.

Sure. You just need to take off every zig.

BTW: Why do you want to change region to Japanese? Are there any significant differences between the regions except for the highscore entry?
