Green Beret/Rush'n Attack/Mr. Goemon uses the same graphics chip as Jail Break, the 005849.

While that's true, Konami had a tendency to wire up the same chips in different ways for each game (Olivier and I call it "Lego Hardware") , so it's possible there isn't a direct match besides using the same chip. I'll take a look though.

On a related note, Pooyan and Roc'n Rope could probably be merged; they run on almost identical hardware except for the CPU.

I guess the most important part is that it's documented in the code. The biggest difference seems to be the background tile priority (GreenBeret) vs more tiles (JailBreak).
