Neo Driftout Boot?

I just got what seems to be a bootlegged copy of Neo Drift Out off ebay, and I was hoping someone could host pics of it so I could get some second opinions on it.

The game has a matte black case, instead of shiny black, it has a replacement label, the pcb is dated 1994, the solder points are pretty rough and it has eproms, and the chips are from singapore and taiwan.

I feel 99% percent sure that it is a boot.

Somebody wanna host these?

Otherwise if you send them to me I'll host them....

Sounds like a boot..And I have a feeling I know what Ebay seller you got it from..
..............
I have a legit copy if you need boards to compare to.

Chris you got email.

Thanks again.

Your welcome anytime.Setting them up to host now..

Does it work..?
....(I think this is the first Neo Drift Out Boot "I've" seen)













Cover up those Eproms..but I think you may be returning this...
....................
I'll scan my boards and send them to you in the morning.

its a boot for sure really no need to see the real boards.

looks like snk boards that someone flashed some mx chips for probably made recently since ndo wasn't really a popular arcade game but is desirable to the personal mvs market now.

I haven't tried using it for fear of damaging my stuff.

Thanks for the input guys.

Cosmicco have the odd "*" neodriftout boot from time to time. I was thinking of getting one as you dont seem to see many of the real thing around.

For Daybona as requested..

I would never suggest to buy a boot ttooddddyy...never..
Though this IMO is a great Game I'd stay away from boots..Unless you want a boot to learn from/inspect..As I've bought boots to inspect...
But then again you could get a cheaper game like BAM as most IMO are boots..

Keep an eye out on Ebay yaton6262 sales for Neo Drift Out...He may relabeled but I've yet to hear of a boot being sold by him..

As I wrote to daybona.(some added for the post)

Make sure to play the game to the end...
Though I can't say it'll be a problem with this game I often find that some boots are missing parts/endings,stuff further in the game..which can cause a lock-up,reset or get to a part then a white screen will appear and stay like that.
..or just lock-up or reset (from my experiences with boots)..I figure booters don't sit and test a game to the end.
You figure some games aren't easy to beat.So it would take time for a booter to beat a game to see if it's fully working..Time a booter may not have.
In Arcades..If a Vendor gets a no ending/further in a game missing parts boot..and puts it on super hard in the Arcade..Most people won't get that far in the game (on Hard) to notice..
I got my Neo Drift Out off of "yaton"...about a yr ago with original boards...(I thought it had a banged up original jap label but..this one is "ok".....I was thinking of another game I got from him..
..I paid I think $80.00 for it....
I was very worried it would be a boot at the time...though,I always worry about getting boots.

Definitly a boot

Mine looks exactly like the one Chris1 has. Isn't that a World Heroes 2 MVS CHA board used in that boot?
