Battle Mania 2 Controller Test and questions

[K-2]

accessed by turning the game on without controller.

Anybody know more about this?

What does it mean by "Ver. No. 1" ? Also that it's playing in a Genesis and Mode comes up "Abroad" - the game is region free?

This all normal?

Anybody with a cart or knowledge that can confirm.

Thanks!

From The Cutting Room Floor:

A controller test can be accessed by turning the power on either with no controller plugged in, or having an unsupported controller (e.g. a mouse or a light gun) plugged in.

After connecting a proper controller (or two), you can press the buttons to light up their respective inputs on the screen. The music track "Deposit Coins" plays during this mode.

Further information displayed:

MODE — The region setting of the console. Displays either "JAPAN" or "ABROAD".
VMOD — The television mode. Displays either "NTSC" or "PAL".
VER.NO. — The model of Mega Drive being used.

Users on Sega-16 have confirmed that the game is region-free, which is not uncommon for Mega Drive titles from 1993 and obviously true for nearly all titles released before that year.
