Just think of it as @JVOSS using Game Genie

a good example of a change is what i'm calling the Rom repair code.  this is where a board dose not match the rom code on the label.  the best example is the AB rom for Zelda DX.   its just one of the Crazy finds...

@JVOSS I don’t know how deep your pockets are, but one way you can accelerate this is to go over to LukieGames.com and order up their entire inventory for any specific game.  They 100% pay for the returns and you can return for any reason.

I did this with maybe 20-30 games when I was going for my complete set and I wanted excellent conditioned carts. It’s be a good way to get large batches of games to look for variants too.

Also, I emailed them before I did that and they were fine with it.  I didn’t want to abuse the system and since they gave me a pass, I did it a LOT.  There was nothing to lose and all you had to do was have the cash to make the purchases.

that is cool.  right now i'm sitting about 600 USA carts deep on the extra carts side, and i haven't even started on the "Set" carts.  it's a long process... it just time...  

and a lot of cool stuff has been developing as i go through the carts.  i guessing i can almost make a new set with all the different nuances..

I think at this point we're REALLY splitting hairs at an obsessive level.  There should be subcategories between major and minor variants.

is that how it is handle in the NES/SNES carts.. Not that i have read/seen  in fact you have the NES Rare page.  this is just like any talk about variants we share what we find and you use what you want.

example of crazy stuff.

BB has 2 errors  one is the TM/R OSQ but in the same thing the -1 version has a TM so is this corrected or left as is?  the manuals will tell but most don't show the manual so i just don't know if the -1 is an uncorrected error cart..

let me know if you find any that have this.  right now i have been working down the list and found a few errors and board difference.

HOT DAMN i not banned!!!!!!   the wicked witch is in..  with 24 IRL hours this will go fast.  everyone put the big boy pants on and let get rolling....   or however you want to move....

Jeepers, that is subtle. I guess I still want them though.

for which one?

i working on photos for my finds but TEAM VGG has provide the images of there finds.  they are quite good...

if you play around with the magifine glass and light you might get a view of the "GOLD" blob that look like horizontal line or the "TM"...  the (R) you would more then likely see the R only or a blob that is vertical.

my camera is can get good enough pic but one ebay there are some good examples of the "R" so you can use that as a reference...

I do not see anything on the bottom right of the seal. I tried to get a pic with a magnifier lens... it is was not fun holding and taking a pic lol but I do not see any R or evidence of any tampering. I got this with the Gameboy while growing up and well... I wish I still had the black bag with all of my games  But their is no R so???

Pic without lens. And I do not see any evidence of a R or TM...

 

yep the offset printing on some of the carts are just horrific this is one example of bad printing.  for referencing for later viewing.  the tm is located just to the right of the "y" in Quality on the outside of the star.  sometimes the location will be very visible.  like this..  your tetris will be more like the one on the left... but some time all you will see is the very very very very very very faint outlining  of the circle in (R).

Duh! sorry I just wasn't thinking of the OSC as Official Seal and the TM as tread mark. I thought it was a secret area on the board. But hope these are good pics of the areas in question.

@Rheinhold it's only one area that it being talked about.  the OSQ...  here is the example using SS..

Tetris is one of the harder cart to see the TM on the OSQ.  but it is there.  you might have to move it around in good lighting.  the one i have is more like a blob but compared to the (R) it is easy to see...  as your board is the earliest board i would make the claim that someone did a switch if you see the (R)

Oh nooo... I was all caught up too.

i do need a lot of help if you can provide.  there are 25 more that might have this variant. some i just have one of and it very hard to see on line.  would you be willing to check what you have in your sets?
