Im 99% sure its a bootleg, was advertised as one.
It was $159 before shipping, but I ended up getting repro Marquees and a repro instruction manual from the same seller too.
I think it came to around £150 including postage overall.
Was that a good price?

Re: Boot or Original : Post original/bootleg PCB photos here.
if it's original, it's a good price.
The condition looks good, from what i can see.
also the reproduction marquees look great.

Re: Boot or Original : Post original/bootleg PCB photos here.
That looks like more of a conversion than a bootleg. I'm not very familiar with that hardware, but they look identical aside from the roms and processor.Stefan_L wrote:Here is a Atomic Robo-Kid original and bootleg PCB comparison:
Edit- confirmed:
For Ninja Kid II: On Nov 15, 2008 a fully decrypted sound rom was created by www.segaresurrection.com It allows you to replace the NEC MC8123 and encrypted sound rom with a standard Z80B and the newly decrypted sound without any other mods to the Z80 & sound rom as required by the other "double-sized" version. The CRCs are listed here so it doesn't show up as a newly "found" bootleg version: nk2_06.rom.

It is a bootleg.
Ninja Kid 2 uses "NEC MC8123" not Atomic Robo-Kid.

It's a conversion. Not bootleg. It's exactly the same board(s).

You can't use that as anything other than a "taken alongside 10 or so other factors" indicator. If you do, feel free to sell me *all* your bootlegs for cheapo prices. I'll keep the originals which will be in there.jamma4life wrote:Any JAMMA board that lacks a keyed connector should raise a red flag.

Even if the layout is the same it's still a bootleg.arcader wrote:It's a conversion. Not bootleg. It's exactly the same board(s).
