I have a japanese Capcom VS SNK 2 gd-rom, and the number is GDL-0007A? Would that mean that there's a "B" version, or is this just some numbering system with the goal of confusing everyone?



thanks!

Some numbering systems go from 0-F, this is probably that. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.

I'm not sure hexadecimal has anything to do with this. If that was the case, you would see GDL-00071, 00072, and so on. When there is a revision, it is marked on the disc with the title, or can be seen while the game is running. This likely has to something with regions.

The letter is the Revision.



Only few have A/B most have nothing.

does that mean there would be a "B" version out there?
