Te recomiendo la 3.8, que es la que tengo yo, por ahora me lo ha cargado todo, juegos con un TOC altisimo (como son shadow of the colossus, metal gear solid 3) y ademas los juegos japoneses (ntsc) te los carga en color y sin problemas.
Son IGUALES, excepto por la carga de trucos del 3.8
Lo del TOC, en teoria, no es verdad, son IGUALES!
Incluso en la pagina web te recuerdan:

Ademas que en el texto no dice en ningun momento nada sobre que se haya mejorado el TOC
Los dos juegos que has dicho no exceden el TOC y cargan en 3.6 sin problema. Respecto a la región lo mismo. Depende de la TV pero ambos pueden forzar el modo.
