STOP VERSION: Enables debugger and *prevent game from restart on crash* (that’s why it’s called stop version)

LOCATION TEST: Replaces game ending with a “Coming soon” of sort message

SHOW VERSION: Overrides game internally defined behavior , making “FREE PLAY” option usable on service menu.

Some regions and all rental versions have free play supposedly disabled and the point of SHOW VERSION flag is allow them to have a free play option on trade shows.

Magical Cat Adventure

A whole heap of JP/EN regional differences, as well as Catt which is some weird combination of the two but not a proto.

A couple regional differences between JP/KO and EN.

- there has been great confusion in the past about the four Bermuda Triangle / World Wars sets. World Wars was thought to be an earlier version, since it appears to have simpler gameplay and graphics. In reality, there is strong evidence that proves that World Wars is a follow-up to Bermuda Triangle. The gameplay is significantly different, and the only ROMs in common are the audio samples, so it cannot be considered a simple clone, even if bermudaa has the worldwar gameplay and the bermudat title screen!! What might have happened is that bermudat performed poorly in Japan/world arcades so it was redesigned before releasing it in the US/different parts of the world. Possibly the Bermuda Triangle title screen was kept for the US since it hand't been relased there yet, while it was changed to World Wars for places where it had already been released.
  The most compelling pieces of evidence to indicate which sets are newer are the following:
  - to enter test mode, bermudat/bermudaj use P1 start (old style: older games from tnk3 to victroad do it). worldwar/bermudaa use a dedicated service button (new style: newer games like gwar do it).
  - some of the tiles in the fg ROM (letters saying "standard", "power", "hyper", "safety", "danger") are present in all sets, but are actually used only in bermudat/bermudaj.
  - the worldwar test mode shows wrong descriptions for the dip switches, which are actually correct for bermudaj.
  So in the end the chronology of the four sets is:
  1) bermudat
  - Old gameplay
  - World version? (English speech)
  - 5 letters when entering initials, and "TOKYO" as default names
  - Test mode accessed using P1 start
  - There is bug in test mode: when the "Bonus Life" dip switches are set to "60k 120k", it shows "80000P 160000P".
  2) bermudaj
  - Old gameplay
  - Definitely Japan version (Japanese speech)
  - 5 letters when entering initials, and "TOKYO" as default names
  - Test mode accessed using P1 start
  - The test mode bug is fixed.
  3) worldwar
  - New gameplay
  - World version?
  - 5 letters when entering initials, and "WORLD" as default names
  - Test mode accessed using dedicated service button
  - Dip switches description in test mode are wrong: they are the same as bermudaj, even if the actual behaviour has changed.
  4) bermudaa
  - New gameplay
  - US version
  - 3 letters when entering initials, and "SNK  " as default names
  - Test mode accessed using dedicated service button
  - Dip switches descriptions updated.
