Anyone has an idea why Anna wrote DMG-CVX-UKV as serial, when the pic dislays DMG-CV-UKV
What is that "X" for?

Strange. But I also noticed the X is in a different color too. Maybe you should ask them?

The rom chip has an additional byte to the code written on the cart. Let's say DMG-CV-UKV is the cart code then DMG-CVX-0 is the chip-code. The "X" stands for european versions. It is the same as "P" in GBA games etc. This is the reason the cart serial tell you nothing. The country-code is only written on the chip. akubi combines these to match GBC/GBA etc. codes.
btw you see the -0 in the chip-serial? The country "-UKV" is not written on it because it is unimportant. Instead it shows the rom-version. A -NOE version might in theory contain a DMG-CVD-0 chip but there are so few translated gb-games that is is far more realistic to assume they are the same.
