Hi all,
How do you know the region of a Bubble Bobble pcb ?
Dipswitches let you choose between English or Japanese language and i dont see any warning/copyright screen that could help me to know.
Thx!

70 views and no answer ?
Wonder now if that "Japanese" Buzzle Bobble that got sold 2 years ago wasn't just a dipswitch trick

Re: Bubble and Bobble pcb region
which one was that 2 years ago ?
maybe ,never took notice that there was a "japanese board" per se but i'm far from an expert on bubble boble , I think I have seen license stickers on a few over the years but think the board was the same ! it would be easy to just remove the license sticker

<trk>:I remember catching a big fat one and my friend said "throw it back in, that one already tastes like wood"

Refering to the "Bubble Bobble Japanese" sold for 690 euros on Neo-arcadia in 2019.
No picture of the pcb on the post anymore.

I guess all Europe versions were Japan versions.
