I just read something in the mame driver that made me curoius..
***
MVS carts (arcade) were released before the AES carts (home)
The actual codepath taken depends entirely on the BIOS rom, not the roms in the cartridge, which (with
a few exceptions) support both codepaths.
The initial AES releases are therefore later revisions of the game, often with bug fixes over the
initial MVS releases. It isn't uncommon for later production runs and bootlegs to use these newer sets,
so all of them are supported in MAME.

Any list of known updated games/bugfixed with info about what was done?
