sfz3a is using english text so for this one it's sure sfa3 is totally equivalent is setting the region switch to asia. For sfz3j, it's Japanese text which is obviously not in the rom, so I'll take just this one back for now, but I'll have to check those I removed earlier... progearj seems ok when using progear with japan region at least, so it's probably something specific to sfa... ! 1944 with japan region has almost no text from japan, it even writes USA in its 1st screen but not the copyright screen. So I'll assume the only problem was with sfz3j, if anyone finds another problem, let me know !

I was mistaken, I thought there was a new decryption code finally allowing to totally decrypt the rom, but no !!! In 2023 we are still stuck with opcodes / operands, and by the way raine was already using the same algorithm as xcopy when saving a cps2 rom in debug mode, but what you get are the decrypted opcodes. Some areas of the rom are totally readable directly, like the 8 1st bytes : $ff8000 this is the initial value of the stack pointer at offset 0, but if you go only to offset $60, same file, it should be the vector for irq0, and this vector is obviously unreadable, it's $14e for sfa3/sfz3j but it must be read from the encrypted area. What this means is the roms can't be compared directly, there's still no reliable way to do this ! Ton of crap... ! When you think that the rom encryption keys were in some volatile ram using a battery and so when the battery died you got a useless machine, it would probably have been declared illegal in this time, that's obvious planned obsolescence... ! And so no surprise that you are still unable to get a fully decrypted rom from that. Well, maybe I should just take back all the removed sets, or at least sfz3j then, I'll see... !
