# Konami Identifiers
This file describes the various identifiers and their formats that are used in products by Konami.
## Sources

* Game/cabinet manuals
* MAME
* Various sources around the internet
* Game data
## Format
The format of each identifier/ID is described as a perl/php/shell-style string with `$` denoting
that a variable is resolved, e.g. `$a` "resolve variable a". Additionally, a more complex regex
string is provided to constrain the format properly.
### Variables and values
The following variables are used across the different identifiers and can denote the listed values:
* `$p`: Product category
* `C`: Card game?
* `G`: Game
* `H`: Hardware/Helper? e.g. card dispenser
* `$t`: Product type
* `A`: ???
* `C`: Conversion? Software only
* `E`: Extension? Software + hardware
* `K`: Possibility for offline/no e-AMUSEMENT?
* `N`: New dedicated cabinet?
* `O`: New dedicated cabinet?
* `S`: Medal cabinet (station?)
* `Q`: New dedicated cabinet?
* `U`: Upgrade or utility? e.g. DVD software update kit, replacement monitors
