The version number I would say no and hope it does not happen, there are some discrepancies that are possible. You could have internal versions for vendor and external to what is shown. For example, it seems that a lot of BFM games are version 571 which is the first release of a £70 stake and then 572 and 573 for later releases. This does not work on all roms as this value is not always shown on some techs. I see this as a great fall back to put a value in there if the layout is not released with one. The %'age this is a really good suggestion tho IMO.

No no mate - you must update your Game Manager. ...remember, all it takes is one wrong entry and it puts all the other work to shame. Don't let it sit on the back of your mind... ...don't think everytime you load it, you know it's wrong because you've not updated it... ...don't be the man who has an untidy game manager. Remember OCD stands for ONLY CORRECT DETAILS.

Some of you like me, maybe a little obsessed about getting the game manager 100% correct, here is a snapshot of mine. You will note that the green circle just has a - entry in it. For this I am using the Version filed within the configuration panel to show the rom number. Also, during play there are times as shown on the blue circle below wher the Drift is not working on some games, this is because the %'age is not shown. Thanks to a thread on another site I noticed, there is a top tip from @Wizard himself here. If you load up the emulator and click on Diag and then select DataPak checkbox, you could see a value like below. The green circle is the version of the code, ideal for putting on game that you have no idea and the blue circle is the percentage that the game is running at. Complete these as shown in the configuration screen below assuming you choose to use the version number field for the rom version, then your drift and version numbers should be correct for the layout.

Yes, it's October this year.
