Title: I just bought Rally Bike
Post by: Redseven80 on February 15, 2005, 03:04:40 am

I got a new PCB last night, Rally Bike what do you guys think of this game? whats a good score to beat? this games going to get a bit of play in the next month or so.

Are you able to change the region with a dip switch? it is "Dash Yarou"version and has Japanese characters at the title, is it able to be changed?

I doubt it. I know Atari games usually had language settings, but other games of that era, especially those by japanese companies just game in seperate boards altogether (since they were usually licensed by a diff company in America, and thus the game code had to be modified to include that company in the copyright credits).

Here's the Rally Bike manual:

(but note the dipswitch settings might be different for your japanese board).

good sites that covers lots of PCB Dips, with rally bike dip2 switches 5&6 are for the region work (changing the title screen to English), but the others are a bit off.
also the manual doesn't state that this is possible or flipping the PCB dip switch that shows what they all do onscreen does not show it either,
Is any one else aware of this? my Bomberman world does this also.
