Re: Should I ask this here or elsewhere - Question about region changing an arcade PCB (Wrestlefest)

I've never done this, so bear that in mind, but in theory it's only IC19,18 and 33 that are different between the versions, which represent the interleaved bytes of 68k code and the FG0 layer data. For MAME testing, the logical thing is to assemble the ZIP file of ROMs as if it were a real set, complete with valid name, and then run MAME with it, and the 'debug' parameter - that should disable the ROM validity check.
Given how heavily Wrestlefest was bootlegged where I live, I can't imagine there's much significant protection, but again, as someone who's never tried it, I wouldn't know.
If you do buy a board, though, and can dump as well as program new ROMs, I would be tempted to dump the ICs I mention above and check them against MAME and romident simply in case it happens to be an alternate revision.
