the letters... what the...

[xiphoid]

There are often letters in the name of ROM titles. Does anyone have a guide as to what they mean? Cheers.

I think they mean from where they are

 

j=japan

g= german

u=usa

e=europe

i=Italy (?)

 

And I guess some more

That is what I had assumed, but with the varios punctuation as well - (!) or (?) - I thought I would make sure.
