Back sides of each board (did not have space to put them with their respective games). Top is JB007, bottom is "Dr. Wily's". (3/3)

Dr Wily's Revenge: ROM chip is 9630, board is July 1996. (2/3)

Thought I might share two more of my Player's Choice stuff: James Bond 007 and Mega Man Dr Wily's Revenge. James Bond 007: ROM chip is 9907, board is November 1998. (1/3)

Sure thing then (I noticed Pokemon Yellow was on the spreadsheet already, even though that is internally a "black cartridge" game as well). Frogger has a grand total of FOUR label revisions, the same number as Link's Awakening on GB. The variants are: DMG-AFRE-USA (White E rating, Majesco Sales logo) (First) DMG-AFRE-USA-1 (White E rating, Hasbro Interactive and Konami logos) DMG-AFRE-USA-2 (Black E rating, Hasbro Interactive logo only) (Error) (this one I do own personally, shown below) and DMG-AFRE-USA-3 (Black E rating, Hasbro Interactive and Konami logos) It may be a good idea to log some of these on the spreadsheet in a separate section under the GB ones, just saying. This copy's ROM chip date is 9942.

Little bit of a question: Are we doing Game Boy Color (black cartridge) label revisions too? Or is there a separate thread for those? I have here Tetris DX and Wario Land II, both with an updated E rating rerelease. ROM chip dates: Tetris DX left: 9936 Tetris DX right: 0003 Wario Land II left: 9851 Wario Land II right: 9948 (latest chipdate overall is the RAM chip with 0007) EDIT: Other games that were also given this "updated E" treatment are Game & Watch Gallery 2, Link's Awakening DX, Super Mario Bros Deluxe, and Mario Golf. There also exists GBC NFR carts, such as Pokemon Gold/Silver and Wario Land 3.

Couldn't attach it to the two other images because it exceeded 4MB lolol, here's the back

oooo I'd love to have the rated E SML1

It's here!!! Final verdict: March '98 PCB, 9816 ROM chip date.

Great, great. I'll have to buy one myself then; I found about 5 listings of the -1 revision last night. AND a couple nights ago, I ordered me a DMG-RC-USA-1 (Super RC Pro-Am, Player's Choice) and I'll be checking the dates of it with you guys soon.

Just curious, does anybody have any dates for the Majesco Sales version of Tom & Jerry (DMG-JY-USA-1)?

Nope, it definitely is 9834.

Haven't told you guys this yet, but last week I had ordered a DMG-ZL-USA-3. It's here now and here are the pictures. (Pic of the cart got rotated, but oh well.) ROM chipdate is 9834, but PCB manufacture date is strangely October 1997...

Actually the -10 revisions started in very late 1996 (November). Likewise, my copy of SML1 (-1, KA) has a BEAN-10 from January 1997.

There were actually two more of these I spotted last night. Another 9936 and then a 9935. Not to mention the KA SML2 I found as well with a date of 9924...

Do yall see this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/255754605788?epid=56211474&hash=item3b8c2994dc:g:jXkAAOSwpbFjOH-P&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8AyUnZ1wt802vbbDfShkAH2iPK%2F5xF7nmKRC4SbD8qRov%2FPrKpIHVM8HVFQ8O%2B1FCmFdCxcD7DWwBNSBEkpJVewAcpva3NDSTiiaSClq7m9CKUkBOM%2BfnXqrNXwSmdNixbd1Gs1UYkIaFXs1oUKbo%2FNplzrmBvbf4OCe1rgU5x8a%2FzKCdTCN4FlKRrw8N6rqQFLvSmiRsicjHEZ%2Bo0ng1kogXFhXLPx39Q3QjW5OY1evtEL4RxvKxomEldmkrGyoPM5QDVsCF4Ap0R9ZpbxYRflyCUnEhlUuA5hyqnuRjD%2FL%2Bz%2FB7p%2FaqEPh7H4rS2gGLA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_jv0PbyYA KA SML1 (DMG-ML-USA-1) but with a BEAN-20 board and a ROM chip date of 9936...?

And now (a bit scuffed up) DMG-VU-USA-2 is here! Chipcode date is 9835 (late August 98), and the PCB manufacture date is ALSO dated August 1998.

DMG-TR-USA-2 is here! 9732 (August 97). Now we wait for Dr. Mario...

Just ordered myself a DMG-VU-USA-2 and a DMG-TR-USA-2! I'll check out the chipcode dates with you guys when they come.

Also of note was that I had also found a Japanese copy of Kirby's Dream Land 2 with a chipcode of 0236. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184918970508?hash=item2b0e07908c:g:Ef8AAOSwM1Rg3-4f As well as a DMG-YT-USA-1 (Donkey Kong Land 1, Rated KA) that had a chipcode of... 9934? https://www.ebay.com/itm/184909004290?epid=2279&hash=item2b0d6f7e02:g:YxMAAOSwbldg2NnR UPDATE: And some more. Adding onto the EXTREMELY late non-US releases, we have this copy of WL:SML3 from 2002! https://www.ebay.com/itm/324551602164?epid=1364&hash=item4b90c86ff4:g:X~IAAOSw321eEy2Z "Mario Land 3 4028" is the selection to make, as that cart has DMG-WJ-EUR-2.

The link? Right here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224519223744?hash=item34466379c0:g:9OgAAOSw0c1g31pY 0144 with battery date of October 2001 (01-10).

Earlier today I happened to come across a Japanese copy of SML2, and the chipcode was 0144 and the battery had 01-10 (October 2001)?

9826? Is it using one of those mythical "DMG-AAA-10" PCBs that were typically only used with prints of Dr. Mario and Tennis since 1997?

One thing I've always noticed is that most of the DMG-BEAN(K)-02 boards are manufactured in November 1995, and then attached to them is a ROM chip with a year of 1996 (and with the letters in the circle usually being Hs). Sometimes they manufacture it in 1995, and sometimes 1996, but most of the time when it's manufactured in 1995, it's November. How come?

Looks like I have the "Transparent Game Link Icon" variant of the cart. Pretty interesting.

Was there ever an alternate variant (not the 2 players choice variants) of DMG-ML-USA? The only variant I could find of the original revision was this here (shown below). I was wondering if they ever made a variant where both the gamecode and the "MADE IN JAPAN" text are on the left side of the cartridge. They did it for other regions (UKV variant shown below), but I don't know if the USA region had something like that.
