-
XXXX = A 2 to 4-letter unique identifier for the specific game (often an abbreviation of the title).
-
XXX = Region code (commonly USA, CAN, EUR, JPN, etc.).
Example:
-
SNS-SM-USA → For Super Mario World (North American release).
-
SNS = Super Nintendo System

Important Notes:
-
Japanese versions have different coding (often starting with SHVC-XXXX where SHVC stands for "Super Home Video Computer").
-
Special versions, bundle games, or revisions might have slight variations in the code.
Collectors and retro enthusiasts often use these codes to verify authenticity, identify regional versions, or spot re-releases!
