Trial and Beta software |

Since this didn't really belong among the links I posted in the homebrew section, I'm creating a new topic, even though there might be too little content here to justify one. Oh well.
I was browsing through my bookmarks to check if I had more homebrew links and I found this list, which I completely forgot about. It's in Japanese, but it might be of interest to those still hunting down trial cartridges, etc.
- > Neo Geo Pocket Trial Cartridges
The website lists several trial versions which you'd find on display in game stores in Japan. The author also mentions that stores would have to return these cartridges to SNK and were not allowed to keep or sell them under any condition.
I know that about a third of those got dumped and I thought the link might be of interest to some, since it has the cartridge labels and there are comments which explain the differences between trial and retail releases [lack of intros, fewer gameplay modes, the word "trial" on the start screen, etc.].
There are also several beta versions that have been dumped [some of them relatively recently]. The list below comes from No-Intro.
Sonic the Hedgehog - Pocket Adventure (World) (Beta)
SNK vs. Capcom - Gekitotsu Card Fighters (Japan) (Beta)
SNK vs. Capcom - Gekitotsu Card Fighters - SNK Supporter Version (Japan) (Beta)
Puzzle Bobble Mini (Japan, Europe) (En,Ja) (Beta)
Neo Cherry Master Color - Real Casino Series (World) (En,Ja) (Beta)
King of Fighters R-2 (World) (En,Ja) (Beta)
Densha de Go! 2 on Neo Geo Pocket (Japan) (Beta)
I am curious of the differences between, let's say, Sonic the Hedgehog Trial and Beta versions. I'm also wondering if there's a single Neo Geo Pocket game that wasn't released, but exists in a form of a ROM image. Other, more popular systems, have dozens of those, but I haven't seen anything like that for the Neo Geo Pocket.
P.S. - A while ago I read through the bashfest of a thread on the Assembler boards involving Dion Dakis. I saw Flavor asking him about unreleased NGP games, but I don't think he ever answered. Too bad, really. On the other hand, NGP games, even betas, aren't worth that much money, so they might have been of no or very little interest to him.

Accessories for the NGPC |

I've really been enjoying the NGPC, especially with the help of your flash cart. We ended up buying a second unit for multiplayer, but it took us a while to find a link cable. vlame on the Racketboy forums got us in touch with Yoshimitsu at GameTZ, who sold us an official NGPC link cable for $10.
The second unit we bought was also in somewhat rough shape, with a scratched up screen and a missing AA battery door. The batteries seem to stay in there well enough without it (and tape could always help support them), but I wondered if maybe a market for replacement battery doors existed? It'd certainly be cool if we could purchase them from somewhere.
I'd also like to pick up an AC adapter, from what I understand the official case used to come with one? Is there a cheap place to get an adapter these days? We're just using camera cases for our NGPCs at the moment.
Finally, does anyone have recommendations on screen protectors? On Racketboy, user sneth recommended buying generic screen protector sheets and cutting them to fit the NGPC. I'll probably go that route at some point, I've actually ordered some DS Lite screen protectors for cheap from DealExtreme.com that I'm going to try to use. I also heard that at one point people used to sell entire replacements of screen cover, is there any way to get those still?
Sorry for all the random thoughts. Thanks for making these forums, I look forward to reading more.

What's your favorite NGPC game?
I'd have to say that Cardfighters Clash (1 and 2) are mine.
Faselei! would be second.
Biomotor Unitron would probably be third.
