I was wondering if, other than the artwork and manual, are there any differences between the carts. Since the systems convert the language, how can you know if carts are japanese or american if the cart was blank?

Are the parts themselves different?

If ther's no difference, then the only difference from a US Kizuna and a JPN Kizuna (to warrant the extra $5000 in value) is a piece of paper in the case, a sticky paper on the cart and a manual with english words on them?

Is it ONLY the documentation that's the difference?

AND an MVS cart is also exactly the same as a home cart, at its core. Just the connectors are different.

And that's the reason why the NeoGeo AES is a true home arcade system. :cool:
