Cave released two different arcade PCBs of Dodonpachi Dai Ou Jou:

the regular DDP-DOJ PCB

and

the more expensive DDP-DOJ "Black Label" Version PCB with extra content on it accessed via a toggle switch. ^_~

A DDP-DOJ BL ver. PCB has both content of a regular DDP-DOJ PCB + plus extra content on the 2nd loop when playing in "Black Label" mode...

Sven666 has such a complete DDP-DOJ BL PCB kit up for sale if you want it...check it out here with this link: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 9&start=60

You not not know about a confirmed bug found on the regular version of DDP-DOJ PCB but here is the link to it: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=18135

A plain ol' vanilla DDP-DOJ PCB is still perfectly fine with the above bug mentioned...has some great benefits over the PS2 port of the same name including:

*Instant loading times unlike how you have to wait for the PS2's CD-Rom drive to get up to speed...

*You have access to cool sound effects and BGM tunes used throughout the game stages via Operator's Menu selection screen...

*Kick-ass metallic blue box with built-in cooling fan the encases the actual DDP-DOJ PCB itself...

*You can set up the PCB to take credits or even set it on "Free Play" mode if you wish as well...

Pink Sweets is the sequel to Ibara. The full title is Pink Sweets: Ibara Sore Kara.

What PC Engine Fan X meant to say before waffling on about the PCB casing of DOJ BL, is that Black Label refers to a Remixed or Arranged arcade release of a prior Cave title. The Black Label releases normally feature tweaked scoring and playmechanics, although some are almost entirely different games (such as Ibara Black Label). They are normally produced in very small numbers.

Thanks guys!

Makes it allot clearer now.

There is no way i could ever afford a pcb like that!
