Many people probably skip playing the bootleg of this on MAME because they think bootlegs are inferior, but in this case the bootleg is better. The version named wbmlvc.zip was ripped from Wii (this was the 1st English release of the arcade version, because the 1987 English translation never got released to arcades), Someone named mpatou decrypted the files and corrected bugs in the original code, making this version, wbmlvcd.zip, superior and smaller in size than the Wii rip.
