I am curious about playing the arcade version of super mario, but for what i see there are two versions of it ("set SM4-4 E" & "set ?, harder") can anybody tell me what is the difference between the two and which one is more accurate to the arcade

I know nothing about VS. SMB in particular, but I can say that arcade games often have a variety of revisions. Sometimes these might be different country releases (US, JAPAN, WORLD, and so forth), and sometimes they might be observable gameplay changes within the same region version (look up the different arcade versions of GnG/Makaimura for an illustration of this). So, basically, it is possible for multiple different ROM sets to all be legit arcade versions.

(Cont) Another good example would be Street Fighter II, which actually has multiple different revisions within each of the main three pre-Super versions. You can ID them based on the date code which appears at bootup. Now, as for the differences between these, you might having a hard time finding them documented.
