    ...Yours is clear though. And doesn't have a door. Those shells were mass produced for publicly released games, yours wasn't.

    Just Ordered the Transferer II just have to get it and find a suitable computer and figure out how to use the transferer and check the ROM size and Checksum of both this and the American Retail version will let you know the rom size and take pictures of the Checksum going to be intresting to see if there is any differences.

    Try a local library, I think most of them still use XP.

    Very interesting thread! I still wish you good luck with checking the ROM and I really hope we will know the answer soon. It would be really great if it's different to the final game.

    This is kind of killing me I was hoping that by the time I got to the end of all this replies there would be some kind of resolution. So the mystery continues!

    This is still going on? It seemed pretty much established it's probably just a final ROM on a funky cartridge, besides that there's not much more of a mystery to solve I thought?

    Need to compare the checksum to the retail cart to see if there's any differences, the truth must be told!!
