Usually, I'll open up a cart and look for the "toshiba", however I've been told that always isn't a clear indicator.

Here are some pics of a Top Hunter MVS, I'm about to trade. I want to make sure it's not a boot before I do any trading. I purchased this from an ebay seller about 2 months ago. Any help would be appreciated. Boot or not?

Real. There are a few titles with that capacitor on the P1 chip. If you look closely on the chips, they all have matching NGH-numbers if you check the Master List.

can't really see the chips. But as long as they have the 3 digit NGH number and they aren't MX flash chips, it's not a boot. Majority of MVS carts don't have a manufacturer name on the chips.

I tried looking for the master list earlier where is it located? Thanks.

This model of chips as well as the capacitor are definitely standard in Power Spikes 2 and Windjammers. Perhaps also in Street Hoop and Quest of Jong Master too if I am not mistaken.

My TH cart was exactly the same as yours with the blue capacitor on P1. However, did you ever try to play this on an AES console with a Phantom 1 adapter ?
