no it is not the same,my version has not been released on myspleen yet,but will soon i hope,i now actually have 3 versions,the dark jedi one you saw on the news groups and now there is a joint effort with boba feta,the jedi/feta version,the ntsc version has exactly the same encoding as the newsgroup but fancied up alot with very nice menus and chapter selection,and case and disc art,then the 3rd version is a conversion of my ntsc version to pal also with fancy menus and chapter selection and case and disc art.
ALL versions will be available hopefully very soon
hope this helps
