First Neo Geo specific rules.
1. The sale of ANY bootleg cart will not be tolerated. A bootleg cart is any cart that does not contain legitimate SNK ROM chips. Some MVS carts that appear on the market are commonly bootlegs, for example: Pop 'N Bounce, Neo Mr Do, Neo Bomberman, MS4, RotD, MotW, KOF99, Super Dodgeball. An example of a bootleg home cart is the NGF Zupapa home cart (Proven BOOTLEG from <a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=18&t=005377" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=18&t=005377</a> ). MVS carts are easy to verify if they are bootlegs. Typically, all one needs to do is open the case (unscrew the 4 screws) and check to see if the chips used on the boards are not EPROMS. The NGH number of the game (which can be found on the Master List hosted here) should be printed on each chip. Some games may have a couple EPROMs on them from repairs, sales of such games is fine. But if the cart is all EPROMs, it is a bootleg, and should not be listed.
2. The sale or want ad for ANY cartridge converted from it's original form will not be tolerated. We have been requested to no longer allow the exchange in games which were converted from one format to the other (typically an MVS cart being converted to a home cart. How do you know if you are in ownership of a converted cart? For home carts, just check the Master List, and if your game is listed as an MVS only release, and you have a home cart, it is a conversion, and can not be listed here. For example, the Strikers 1945 release from !Arcade! can no longer be sold here. If you are unsure of a title, like Metal Slug, check the Cart Pics hosted here and compare. Your manual cover, sticker, and insert should match those pictured. Any home cart being sold without a cart sticker should not be listed, since such an item is suspect.
Prepare to get your thread closed....

Not all of them are NGF.
Don't care if they are conversions, (only the ngf i believe are conversions), IM SENDING FIRST (so they can check em out if they like) so how can i SCREW ANYONE OVER. Now pep and jimmyjames please leave me alone and let people take what they want to take.
Please if you get pissed off because i have NFG on me right now, please, just look away, some people want them, some don't.
If you get pissed off because NFG does whatever to carts, remember man, they are games! They aren't people for christ sakes.
