Yes.

The guy is fabricating new PCBs that can run the PGM line of Cave games, so DOJ (not sure if just BL or selectable WL and BL), Espgaluda and Ketsui.

That Black-Label was new to me.

Proper new boards and no board-conversions you say? That's interesting.
I suppose the Chinese do repro casings as well then?

If it saves PGM boards being sacrificed and people paying silly money for these then good. The Japanese don't seem to have cottoned on yet though, they're all over Yahoo.

Would be of a shame if they're sacrificing carts for the shells though. :palm:

NG Dev team was able to do their own casing so it shouldn't be that difficult. I guess with a little bit of money they could even get a foreign market licence from Cave.
