A Dev with knowledge of the driver would be useful in implementing this (if it is something the board was meant to do) |

The code is already in the driver:static INPUT_PORTS_START( kurikint )
PORT_START("DSWA")
TAITO_MACHINE_COCKTAIL_LOC(SW1)
TAITO_COINAGE_WORLD_LOC(SW1)
PORT_START("DSWB")
TAITO_DIFFICULTY_LOC(SW2)
PORT_DIPUNUSED_DIPLOC( 0x04, 0x04, "SW2:3" ) /* Listed as Unused */
PORT_DIPUNUSED_DIPLOC( 0x08, 0x08, "SW2:4" ) /* Listed as Unused */
PORT_DIPUNUSED_DIPLOC( 0x10, 0x10, "SW2:5" ) /* Listed as Unused */
PORT_DIPUNUSED_DIPLOC( 0x20, 0x20, "SW2:6" ) /* Listed as Unused */
PORT_DIPNAME( 0x40, 0x40, "Bosses' messages" ) PORT_DIPLOCATION("SW2:7")
PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x00, DEF_STR( Off ) )
PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x40, DEF_STR( On ) )
PORT_DIPNAME( 0x80, 0x80, DEF_STR( Allow_Continue ) ) PORT_DIPLOCATION("SW2:8")
PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x80, "5 Times" )
PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x00, DEF_STR( On ) )
someone should check if disabling "Bosses Messages" which is default ON and displays Japanese text, make English text appears.... |

Messages in english not is related with the DIP Switch Bosses Messages. Is related with Arcade ROM Region. The problem is if USA and World version has option to display english boss message. Old Raine versions had option for play Kuri Kinton with region Taito America and was removed by developer because the code is broken, but him say "it's fixed, the region byte was very special for this rom, in data bank 0xf. I re-added the region byte support to kurikinj and kurikina." Now I wait a new Raine version to post screenshots here. |

In your links, the DIPSETTINGS are these:DIP B
-------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
-------------------------------------------------------------
GAME DIFFICULTY RANK B OFF OFF
(EASY A - RANK A ON OFF
DIFFICULT D) RANK C OFF ON
RANK D ON ON
-------------------------------------------------------------
CONVERSION DOMESTIC OFF
MODE FOREIGN ON
-------------------------------------------------------------
CONTINUE TIMED OFF
PLAYS WITH ON
-------------------------------------------------------------
Well, In MAME the "Conversion Mode" DIP is labeled "Bosses Messages"...PORT_DIPNAME( 0x40, 0x40, "Bosses' messages" ) PORT_DIPLOCATION("SW2:7")
PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x00, DEF_STR( Off ) )
PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x40, DEF_STR( On ) )
So *maybe* changing this DIP to OFF in MAME allows English Text. I don't know for sure. Though modify a bit in a ROM Region in MAME via software is what is generally called "an hack".... |

ON = before of each boss fight show an message. OFF = before of each boss fight the message not is shown. Not is related with language. |

Ok. So the "Conversion Mode" DIP doesn't seem to exist. Because its location in MAME is "Bosses Messages" and works as you said. |

it sounds like Raine is using a hack to display the messages in English, it's possible they were never meant to be displayed. It's also possible that our non-Japan sets aren't REAL non-Japan sets. Once the standard region bytes were known about many boards ended up with fake roms on. |
