Just got back from the Yodobashi Camera in Shinjuku, where I picked up my copy of the Japanese SVC Chaos Homecart.

It's a beauty. Solid white spine, 'SNK VS. CAPCOM SVC CHAOS' is written in a big black font, the back cover is yellow with illustrations of Kyo, Ryu, Mai, and Chun-Li. White cover with Ryu and Kyo facing off on the front.

27 page manual with move lists for all the non-secret characters.

No codes for the secret characters are printed.

I'm assuming they're not selectable from the start.

There is a language option, and training mode however.

I'm off to play for a bit... I'll post more later.

Yup, no secret characters are available from the start.

Gonna go find the codes to get them appear, then try them out.

One neat thing is that the names of the secret characters don't appear in the credits (under the voice actors etc.), there's just a line of question marks where their names should be. I guess they appear once you unlock them.

No glitches this time a la Matrimelee. The boards are also perfectly straight too (my Matrimelee boards are warped).

Glad to see sombody got it, hope you enjoy it.

For hidden characters there's just one code you need to know!

Down once and Left 7 times while holding start for Dan. Nuff said.

If you can't show pictures of the cart, does it look the same as the US verson? Or is it different?

Heh, my man Dan was the first code I tried.

Yep, they work.

The artwork is the exact same as the US version, minus the meg count.

Hmm...

With all the blank "?????" in the credits, do you think you might be able to save the hidden characters to a memory card, or is it going to be codes every time? I'm expecting the latter, but you never know.

I don't know if the SvC Plus hack is any indication, but there ARE character select screen portraits for them in the bootleg.

Man you think they would have added some extras to the home cart.. play as all fighters in VS. or something.. kind of lame to imput the codes every time.. and they cold have had a Vs. with the bosses at balance...:oh_no:

That pretty much blows. Are Athena and Red Arremer playable?

I would guess no.

My guess is 'no' as well, but you never know. There might be another set of codes to unlock them. Anyway, they're definitely not on the chacter selection screen.

Just tried it out in versus.

No secret characters at the selection screen either, although there is still the dialogue intro between the different characters.

Again, the hidden characters portraits were added by the bootleggers, they fit in the 8x8 characters part of the roms (front layer). I can t see snkp making it this way since these tiles are short on colours (hey just a front layer, designed to display credits and life bars... not illustrations ^^).

BUMP! HIDDEN CHARACTERS PLAYABLE FROM THE START.

They are located OFF SCREEN above the main characters, just go above Ryu, Kyo, etc.

I've been asleep for the last couple of hours, but it's simple just move up from Ryu or Kyo to select the secret characters, even Red Arremer and Athena.

I only got to play two games (once with Ryu and Shin Akuma). The computer on the hardest setting is difficult.

I haven't played my AES in more than a month and was bugging out. It has a bios chip installed, and I've no idea how to use the blasted thing. And the game kept doing a ROM check the first seven times I booted it up. I finally got the game running, but the sound was off. I think there's something wrong with my AV cable too.

Anyhoot, the game has a language option, versus mode and the secret characters, hooray!

Not hooray is the awful collision. I was playing against the computer and was completely missing them whenever I'd do a move.

But overall I"m happy.
