Quick overview of known BIOS versions, may not be completely accurate. Various third-party BIOS (e.g. Universe BIOS, Neopen BIOS, smkdan's Diagnostics BIOS) are missing from this list.

MVS BIOS

Filename Short Name Region Description

neo-epo.bin asia Asia Asia AES
neodebug.bin devel Japan Debug/Development BIOS

CD System BIOS

Regions are handled via a set of jumpers. Does the Brazilian/Portuguese language system have a different BIOS ROM?
