I'll see if I can contact him... worth a shot anyway.
Speedy,
The variations you're talking about -- I've got the variations "engine" coming, and it will have lots of things, such as:
1.) Back page manual numbers
2.) Cart-back label variations
3.) Cart-back region codes
4.) Cart-back imprinted numbers
5.) Cart-back revisions (A, B, etc)
6.) Manual variations (IDs, and cosmetic)
7.) Box variations (IDs, hangtabs, sticker seals, and cosmetic)
8.) Box tab information (for PAL games)
9.) Seal variations (carts and boxes)
10.) Cart label variations (IDs, and cosmetic)
11.) Cart-to-pak variations (3 screws vs. 5 screws, etc)
...and anything else I can think of or is recommended.
As you can imagine, the "engine" that drives that beast is faily complicated, but I'm making huge progress with it. I decided I wasn't going to add it to the site until I "got it right".
