I think one can't even alter the old chips or can you?
I think he wants to alter the ROM to be in English but have Dragon Quest title screens.

i have rom backups of DQ and DW and i want to swap the title screens and flash new chips

Omg duh... Sorry for some reason I kept thing the rom already on the chip.
Your wanting your dragon quest rom to boot up saying it's dragon warrior. Gotcha. Sorry about that.
Yea unless you know how to work with roms and how to patch them, I'd say your SOL. I sure don't know how to do that. Lol. Wish I did though.
Actually this site may be able to help.
If this site that I'm posting isn't allowed on TCP someone please take it down.

So you can erase and re-use the old chips?

I think he wants just the opposite = Dragon Warrior ROMS (english game text) but with Japanese title screens (but maybe englisified).

This is gray area as there are no ROMS (?) but only info how to edit them... so I let this be.
Other Admins can over rule this if they see it appropriate.
