Re: Boot or Original : Post original/bootleg PCB photos here.
Is this board a boot? it's on ebay .
It's a super pang board.
I now also see this board. I'm wondering if this is a original board.
It's a pang 3 board.
Thx

The screws used to seal up this cart are wood screws. Nobody is going to waste good wood screws on a bootleg, they'd just use cheap electronic screws instead.

The top/eBay one is definitely a boot. It's not CPS1 for a start. Bottom one, not sure, it's CPS1 though.

Looks almost like an original M92 game, but as you told already....looks very crappy and is probably a bootleg.

Re: Boot or Original : Post original/bootleg PCB photos here.
Yes, first I thought it looks like too much work for a bootleg, but then there are pictures of boards in this thread where the boot pcb looks really almost identical to the original. So I have a bad feeling about this one... Thanks.

That In the Hunt PCB is considered original, but not "IREM original".
It has been licensed from IREM to be assembled... in Korea i think it was? As you can see it do use the IREM custom chips.

Thanks, interesting to know that Sega also did this. Some 80ies games like "Crazy Kong/Crazy Kong 2" by publisher Falcon were also official "boots".

Re: Boot or Original : Post original/bootleg PCB photos here.
Licenses are not bootlegs, they are just licenses. it the board itself is different, then it's probably optimisation of the board such as changing components in order to drop the cost of manafacture (in the same way some export versions are missing intros and such to use less chips). Calling them "boots" even if you use the word "official" is misleadingWurstkopp wrote:Thanks, interesting to know that Sega also did this.

Ok, I think I get the point. Probably should have bought this pcb, it was sold on ebay for € 52,-...

Yes - other clues:Stefan_L wrote: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).
Incorrect amp chip, just stuck in the air - hardly any original PCBs have this, most are either bolted to the PCB or to a heatsink.
Plastic coated crystal with no grounding strap around it. Again a common hint that it's a bootleg.

Re: Boot or Original : Post original/bootleg PCB photos here.
I don't know about the daughterboard, but the main boards are original. (Number 256 chips are Metal Slug 3)
Serials are scratched because SNK didn't allow operators to sell the carts to other operators when the game was 'old' or didn't bring in enough money anymore. Because the serials were removed SNK couldn't track which operator originally bought the cart.
At least that's what I was told when I started collecting MVS anyway

Re: Boot or Original : Post original/bootleg PCB photos here.
it's original, SNK was just using left over parts, I think if memory serves me the small daughterboard was akin to a neogeo pocket part or something weird like that, you could search around neo-geo.com and prolly find out more about what the daughterboard is, but it is 100% legit.
