Pretty sure it's just a regional difference in logo, like how European VMUs lack the spiral next to the Dreamcast logo printed on them.

i think the best way to find out the differences is to take both apart and compare

dismantled, visually there are no differences, perhaps there are some differences in the electronics and the average user will not notice this

of course post it, photos of the boards are always needed
I tried to find a photo of the arcade stick motherboard, but I couldn't find it

the same thing alerted me, and I dismantled 3 of the same vibrating blocks, everywhere there are such boards. How can this be in the case of the original, the boards are not the original?
