it had no encryption, since this is an unreleased game i guess it never reached that state.

Casebres aka 1up posted a couple pics in the thread on the 1st post link. I'm on the mobile phone right know, can't repost the puctures...

It was found in an old Arcade warehouse here in Portugal

Can anyone hazard a guess as to why a Japanese language prototype board was found in a random warehouse in Portugal?
