Capcom Strider 2 Language Conversion
(Japanese to English ROM swap)


Capcom mainly released Strider 2 in Japan, so chances are your game board plays in Japanese. But now you can convert it to the English language Asian version by following these instructions!

Disclaimer:
You should only do this procedure if you have the legal right to own the Asian version of Capcom Strider 2. This procedure is done at your own risk, do not hold me liable for any damage or injury caused to you, your arcade game or your personal computer. Strider 2 is copyright Capcom Co., Ltd.

WHAT'S NEEDED

EPROM Programmer capable of programming 40 pin 4M ROMs,

1 x blank 27C4096 or equivalent  EPROM,

A copy of S2LANG.EXE programme (available to download here).
LANGUAGE CONVERSION PROCEDURE

1. First thing to do is dump the Japanese language ROM from your Strider 2 board. Carefully extract ROM HR2J 04 @ location 2H, top PCB and read it with your EPROM programmer as a 27C4096. Save the data to a file named HR2J04.BIN.

2. Next you need to generate the Asian replacement ROM using a copy of the DOS programme S2LANG.EXE. Download it here and unzip it into a new directory.

3. Copy the Japanese ROM file to the same directory as S2LANG.EXE and run it with these command line parameters:

S2LANG.EXE   HR2J04.BIN   HR2A04.BIN

4. You now have a new file called HR2A04.BIN, burn this file on to a new 27C4096 (or equivalent) EPROM and insert it into location 2H on your Strider 2 top PCB.

5. Power up your game! Strider 2 in English!!!!!!!!!! :-D
