Removing hacks from Street Fighter II: World Warrior

My friend several years ago bought Street Fighter II: World Warrior off ebay. It was advertized as original. He had no way to test to see if it even worked.

The other day I stuck it in my JAMMA cabinet and found it had mid air special move hack applied as well as firefall speed and direction changes.

How would I go about removing these hacks? reprogramming the ROMS? The board does not look like a bootleg

The roms that are hacked should be pretty noticable i.e., different labels or something like that. You will either need to reprogram them or get new ones. www.hobbyroms.com is a good source.

You are right roms 29, 30, 36 & 37 are the hacked ones. I guess the solution is to get the originals or a new board.

Is it the "Rainbow Logo" version? I have always wanted that version.

It is like half of the rainbow version, you can't switch characters midfight and you can only have one fireball at a time. Also Rainbow is on top of Championship Edition, this is World Warrior.
 
There were a few boots of CE, there were also a handful of boots for WW. I know a number of the CE boots replaced 4 chips at 34 and above, rainbow CE involved something done with the processor or that area as well, WW was the 4 you have in that picture. Looks like $25 at hobbyroms for those 4 shipped (not sure of their average turnaround times) or whatever you can get a new board for. If you're comfortable pulling roms and putting in new ones, hobbyroms may be the easiest way to go.
 
ill trade you straight out for the hacked roms i have a second sf2 ww board and would love to have the hacked roms jsut pm me and let me know

lol, I was about to make the same offer. Well Tighe you have two people willing to trade regular SFII roms for those hacked ones.
