Soul Calibur 2 dongle version questions

[aoiddr]

I had a couple of Soul Calibur 2 dongle related questions.

-My understanding is that the "Ver. A" dongle images don't have a check for the second memory card for Conquest Mode data, is that correct?

-What is different about the "Ver.C" versions of the dongles? (i.e. SC21 Ver.C, SC22 Ver.C, SC23 Ver.C)

-Some of the software lists have "Ver.D" dongles listed, but I'm not familiar with any other than Ver.A and Ver.C dongles.
Is there any info on what is different about a Ver.D dongle compared to the Ver.A and Ver.C dongles?

There are 3 dumped DVD Versions "SC21-DVD0", "SC21-DVD0B" and "SC21-DVD0D"
There is only 1 dumped dongle version "A10" for 3 regions "World" (SC22), "USA" (SC23), and "Japan" (SC21)

So the region depends on the dongle and the Version depends on the DVD.

DVD0 reports the dongle version: "A10"
DVD0B reports "Ver B"
DVD0D reports "Ver D"

so the 3 dongles and 3 discs create 9 unique combinations:

Soul Calibur 2 (JP Ver.A10)

Soul Calibur 2 (JP Ver.B)

Soul Calibur 2 (JP Ver.D)

Soul Calibur 2 (USA Ver.A10)

Soul Calibur 2 (USA Ver.B)

Soul Calibur 2 (USA Ver.D)

Soul Calibur 2 (World Ver.A10)

Soul Calibur 2 (World Ver.B)

Soul Calibur 2 (World Ver.D)

I've never seen "Ver C" reported in game so if you have a Dongle or DVD that reports that in the test menu you should get it dumped.

I'm not sure which dongle and disc combinations require or don't require the conquest DVD.

I checked the test menu for the Japanese SC21 dongle I have that has a "C" on it, but the test menu only reports Version D.

Thanks for all the clarifying info on this title. It's hugely helpful.

What disc are you using? I think the D disc bumps it up to rev D, but if it's a C-Dongle you might get Ver C with a DVD0B or DVD0 disc
