Ben is right, the Japanese 3.1 ROM has a narrower silkscreen area,
due to the four extra FEP buttons. So you'd wind up with three cases:
OS >= 3.5, OS < 3.5 && Japanese, and OS < 3.5 && Latin. To detect
Japanese, use FtrGet with the numEncoding selector, and compare
against charEncodingPalmShiftJIS.
