The only discussion I can see amongst our group regarding JT-104 ever is that Haze thought it was a bootleg. And most likely it is indeed merely a title screen difference only.

However, Internet evidence seems to lead to its being official. We'll look more into this, thanks.

[EDIT] It seems that the game is dumped and in MAME, it's just that this alternate title screen is not selected by default, and the metadata that MAME exposes does not list this as an alternate title option.
