My JPN region board looks like this:

The mask roms you have on your board are genuine, so at least that part is legit. Honestly, it doesn't look that different. Slightly poorer quality stickers and a different rom board number. A later revision? A conversion? (Capcom aren't exactly unknown for doing their own factory conversions)

Thanks for your reply,

I noticed PAL MEMDEC and BANK03 don't have the right label, And connector soldered to the motherboard are poor quality.

This romboard is a real oddity for me.

About Rastan Saga pcb original or bootleg...

Post by Dhampird »

Hello, i´m looking for an original Rastan Saga pcb jamma, but i dont know whichs boards are the original or bootleg, i mean all pictures related to Rasta Saga pcb (the Japanese version with the game intro, and logo displayed on screen like Rastan Saga) that i found seems be bootlegs:
Image
Only i found the Rastan pcb original, but seems those boards are not Rastan Saga (Japanese) version, i mean no intro once you begin a game, and no Rasta Saga logo
Image
Then, the Rastan Saga boards are not originals, only are bootlegs? If anyone have Rastan Saga (Japanese) version original please post a picture.

The japanese version is called "Rastan Saga".
The international version is called "Rastan".

Looking at the M.A.M.E. driver the board can be romswapped to a different region by changing some of the maincpu roms.

A search for the game's title in Japanese yields a few results. But finding a Japanese title in EU/World region is difficult.

It's the reason Japanese versions are more expensive in the EU: Purists prefer the one they played (You probably played a Rastan Saga bootleg in the arcade..)

Yep there are originals with daughterboards I think. I saw one with nasty repairs on it.
There is an original board that has two sets of dip switches at the top left corner, not directly in line with the edge connector as the one above.

There are also bootlegs with daughterboards too, helpfully. So quite a few varients of both the original and bootlegs for Wonderboy :(

I had one that I always thought was original until I came to sell it.

An ebay user messaged me to say it was a conversion based on it having a small resoldered spot and hand written labels. He said if I tested it there would be a bug making it impossible to pass the 4th boss. I tried this out but it played fine to world 5.

Beyond knowing it's an original Sega board, is it possible to know for sure if it's a conversion, or an unofficial one?

So in answer to your question, I don't know.

Yeah I've been looking for one for quite a while for my dedicated cabinet. I have a bootleg for now (with a few scrolling pixel issues)

What IS this board? Seems familiar, besides the Eproms there it doesn't look like any bootleg I know. I've seen this layout somewhere but I can't put my hand on it.
Any of you eagle eyes out there know what this is? It's in the basement of a friend of mine who wants nothing to do with arcades.

I join the conversion fan club! I asked Hiijan on twitter whether it was a common practice for arcade operators to do the conversion themselves? RIP 4D Warrior

It's Karate Tournament. It says so right there on the label ;)

Fun game.

I recently bought this Street Fighter EX2 Plus. I suppose this is a Bootleg but I want to have your opinion :

If they are different from what identifies you should send the dump and info into MAME.
