Here is the contents of an average SYSTEM.CNF file in the PS2 disc root:

BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SLUS_202.14;1
VER = 2.00
VMODE = NTSC

However two spacing irregularities have been observed which prevent version number from populating in !SubmissionInfo text file:

This one is common, no spacing between "VER", "=", and version number:

BOOT2=cdrom0:\SCUS_971.28;1
VER=0.10
VMODE=NTSC

This one is rarer: extra spacing between "VER" and "="

BOOT2    = cdrom0:\SLUS_207.64;1
VER    = 1.01
VMODE    = NTSC```
