Are the names in Meka.nam taken from the name on the box, the name on the cart or the name on the title screen? Because several games have title screen names slightly different from the Meka name...

eg. (just the 'A's)
Addams Family = The Addams Family
Alex Kidd: Lost Stars = Alex Kidd - The Lost Stars

i'm not zoop so i don't answer =)

I'm not sure if Zoop has dumped the North American or European carts and confirmed this to be otherwise, but I'm pretty sure "Sonic Drift 2" is an international rom. The first one didn't make it anywhere outside Japan, but the second one did. And yes, Robotnik is referred to by his Japanese name of "Eggman" in the rom listed in MEKA.NAM, but that's something Sega of America was too lazy to change (it's like that in all versions). The European variation was called "Sonic Drift Racing", but I think that was just on the packaging (like "Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya").

But the ROM header says it is Japanese only.

I'm not putting "The" at the beginning of game names, because, well, I don't like them :)

As for the rest, if you can get me a quick list I'll check case by case (comparing cartridges, boxes and title screens).
