several NAOMI games had regional releases, so far we've seen MvC2, House of the Dead 2, Virtua NBA, Wave Runner GP.
this doesn't mean they are require Japan or US BIOS to boot, but cartridges made for US was different. in the case of last mentioned game - US game version uses protection ICs, 'original' Japan carts was not protected.
but all this looks quite odd, because it seems MvC2 and HotD2 had Japan+Export and USA versions. have no idea atm for what purpose.
