Richy,

Nice blog, You mention you have done CPS3 carts live. Do you use a standard soldering iron and what is your success rate? I have a 3rd strike that is over due a battery change and do not want to buy a special soldering iron......... Unless I really have to.

Cheers.

Have you asked Nick Fury Richy?

Does anyone know what STV carts are regularly bootlegged?

There's a seller on ebay with Sheinryu, but I don't know if it's a boot:

Better just to phoenix it and be done with it, and yeah i am aware you are talking about a black all in one board.

Now...how can you tell a Capcom-Conversion from a Conversion ?

Aren't the B-Boards (without the EPROMs) same regardless of the game?

So the only difference then would be the game/sound/graphic roms, would't it?

I'm certain I heard of at least one exception where the game uses EPROMs for the sound samples and graphics, but 99.9% of the time if you have EPROMs in sockets 11 to 20 then you have a bootleg conversion on your hands.

Some revision of blue super turbo, all blue progears and all sports club use eproms as their primary storage media.

Afternoon guys, I'm considering getting my hands on this R-Type board. While I was originally looking for a clean, unrepaired and original board - they don't pop up that often. What are your thoughts on this one? Is it an original or conversion? And is it normal to have so many eeproms replaced?

Looks legit. The EPROMs may be original as judging by the other PCB images Irem (Nintendo?) didn't put the stickers over the UV windows.

There's the possibility it's a conversion from Major Title etc...

Different hardware mush.

There is a possibility that it's a conversion but it does look like RT on the original EPROM labels. If the pic wasn't taken with a **** iPhone it might not have been so blurred.

[Rossyra]

Still, Major Title can be converted to R-Type

Although looking again there would be some wiring visible if it was Major Title specifically, and you can see M-72 on the silkscreen

What about the license seal? It's printed on foil or something.
