A while back I read somewhere that there was a difference between these two MVS carts.
If I recall it was additional scenes, music or text, but not sure.
Can any of you fine gentlemen shed some knowledge on this?

Its not so much Jap vs US versions as it is early vs late release.

The earlier release had an extra audio sample in the attract mode that said something along the lines of "Play that shit like you just got your motherfuckin..."

Ah! I knew it had to do with audio! Good to know.
So I figure the early release would be the Jap version? I have both and about to plug them in to find out.

The early release is the one that does not use the SF1 PROG board, but a standard PROGBK1 one. There are English carts like this, not only JPN.
