I've recently purchased MVS Metal Slug 3. It's a Japanese version.
When I first inserted the cart in my 2 slot MVS, only the cross hatch popped up. Which of course started me to wonder if the card was legit.
I opened it up and it looked legit (according to you guys they can have the weird daughterboard card.

Only on the 2nd board, which looks real, there is a different chip (eprom?). On other versions I've seen on the boards there should be a Toshiba chip there.

The soldering of the chip is the same as the rest of the board.
After I had closed the cart and inserted it a few times, the cart booted perfectly and had no glitches on the screen whatsoever.
Maybe it (was) just dirty?
