There are some odd intermediate versions of choplifter itself which arent in mame yet, as choplifter was the first game sega 'tested' various protection technologies out on (encrypted z80, mb8123, 8751s, etc); the earliest versions had no protection at all and had daughterboards which added protection and other stuff. IIRC one of the Mamedevs has one of these intermediate boards but the roms on it were bitrotten/bad. I don't believe its a graphical update like you described, though; despite the protection changes the game plays the same afaik.
