GUNBIRD2 PCB region change??

[John_Smith]

Hey thar all! I just got my hands on a nice clean copy of Gunbird2 and the JP4 jumpers are all still intact, thus the text is all in Japanese. Which of the jumpers do I break on this board revision to make it the world version?

PCB Rev - PS5

This is what the jumpers and nearby resistors look like with the JAMMA connector facing me.

JP4

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Hi JS
Not much help I know

Probably this also applies to GB2.

Thanks for the input there guys! I ended up taking reference from 'Dragon Blaze' as its as close a board revision as I could find on that site. I cut the trace that was supposed to make it into 'International Ver A', but it ended up making it 'International Ver B' but it seems to be exactly what I was after anyway so all is right with the world!!

Oh.....and Gunbird2 rocks!!

Just got a copy of Toaplan's "Batsugun" too, that game kicks ass for a '93 release!!

Where are you getting your boards from John ?

Hrmm.......I've been getting them from all over the place really! I just picked up "Gunbird2" from a seller named puyo2345 on eBay from whom I've also bought copies of 'DoDonpachi' and 'Strikers 1945'. Good trustworthy and prompt seller if anyone's wondering!! Coin-Op Express has been good for titles such as 'ESPRade' and 'Guwange'. 'Batsugun' however, was bought from the good folks at Highway Games in Sydney, Australia. Tis a bit more convenient and quite often cheaper to get things in my own country, but exotic stuff like the Cave shooters and even a lot of the Psikyo games are really tough to find here which is a shame.

Cheers man!

Youve got some awsome games there
Do you have highway games email address.
Might drop them a line and see what they have.
Ive been getting stuff from Cosmicco, Im sure the freight would be cheaper out of Australia.

They're nice guys to deal with and I'm sure the shipping would be a bit more pleasant from here than from Hong Kong!!
