Looking at that youtube video I posted above, the guy is playing Solar Assault Gradius, which apparently is the Japanese version of Solar Assault (the one in MAME).
However, he goes through 10 stages before beating the game. In reality, he goes through 5 stages, then the same 5 stages repeat themselves and at the end of stage 10 he beats the same boss he beat on stage 5 (a huge sun) and gets the ending.
However, I just beat Solar Assault on MAME and the game didn't repeat after stage 5, it went to stage 6 and I got yet another boss fight before tackling the last boss.
It also has an ending animation (same gradius 1 end animation), something the Japanese version lacks judging from the youtube video.
The one in MAME has a lava level (stage 2), the Japanese version doesn't have that stage.
I heard that Solar Assault Revised added one stage that the original didn't have, so that makes me think that Solar Assault USA is the same as Solar Assault Revised JPN, but until that version gets dumped, there's no way to know. It is however, not the same one as the Japanese version, Solar Assault Gradius.
