Had a few spare hours and decided to open up all my MVS carts to check if any are boots. I now know a few things I should look out for thanks to the old boot threads, i.e. checking the solder, odd wires, Eproms, NGH# chips, original labels etc.

I have never knowingly bought a boot and never will, I always do all I can to check that they are legit when buying a cart, i.e. checking the sellers feedback, checking the photo, asking if its original etc. but all have been bought via ebay and I now know its a bit of a risk (so IM a bit concerned).

sorry there's no pictures, and I know its a fairly long list but any help would be great.

DEFFO BOOTS
Puzzle Bobble - I thought it was original when I bought it, how wrong was I :( - All Toshiba NGH#057 (which is WH2 chips) except for C3, C4, M1, S1, P1, V1, V2 are Eproms

NOT SURE (but all solder looks to be factory done)
Aero Fighters 2 - All chips NGH#075 wire on P1 (no brand, numbered only chips)
Fatal Fury 2 - All NGH#047 (no brand, numbered only chips) except for M1 Eprom, EP1 I think is some kind of Eprom but it has no window (solid chip)

Your buying tactics are working, out of 30 games only Puzzle Bobble is a boot, all the other carts are original.

If you unscrew your MVS cart the NGH# will on the chips
