Well, if that is the case, we can pick one of them and put in English to have 2 different versions.

It is the exact same ROM set but one has been re-dumped ROM and doesn't require a patch to fix the attract mode

But you can pick one of them and run as japanese for japanese players, then people don´t need to change it again on the system.

The intent of this is to support people who don't have the latest MAME set so that the game doesn't suddenly break for them when we update Games.xml. I don't think we should be patching ROMs and setting different regions (and I don't know how to do that for this ROM anyway). That would misrepresent the ROM.

mmm... that's ok, we use nvram instead.

Yup -- that's definitely the right way to do it! Save states can work too because they include NVRAM. Note that Supermodel has an option to load a save state automatically on boot-up, so it can be named anything you want (it doesn't have to be one of the numbered states 0-9). I use this feature for LA Machineguns to skip the boot-up process. The state dumps me right into the title screen. You could have such a state, e.g. magtruck_japan.sta or whatever, and load that. This can be specified on the command line or in the INI file using the InitStateFile option.

Cccp1982, why are you using such an old gfx card?
That card came out what, 15 years ago?

Newer supermodel needs a newer gpu. You should be able to get a opengl 4.1+ compatible 2nd hand cheap off of ebay
