As much as this isn't quite Neo related and it's only barely Tech Support related I still thought, as it possibly relates to a program ROM revision, it was the right place to shove this topic. I recently posted this over at shmups.com, but I thought I'd dump it here as there's just too many knowledgeable guys here to pass up some possible good advice.

Hi all, I just got my hands on a nice clean copy of Toaplan's ZeroWing.
I've played the hell out of whatever region ROM I have in MAME which is the same slightly clunky one player experience I remember from my Genesis/Megadrive port years ago, but I was blown away to realise that this PCB is simultaneous 2 player with an freshly designed ship for the 2nd player and for some reason is a little faster and more fluid to play. Look I could be trippin about the faster/ fluid bit, but it sure as hell has the second player there. What's the story with this revision as I didn't know there was ever a simultaneous 2 player release? Kinda makes it easier too which is good and bad I spose as ya can just keep blasting away from where ya last died without the whole restart positions thang.
Any clarity on this would be great!
Cheers
Check out this video of the game running a demo, Nice little boss fight at the end!!
