Was this board released in North America, or did it have a limited release?
I found a pretty good deal on an American CPS II A-board, but before I plunk down the cash, I wanted to know if the Battle Circuit board received a wide release.
Thanks.

This game was a Japan only release. Actually I'm not sure if you can get gray boards, but I know there are green boards and no blue boards.

Do you have any B boards to sell to me?

According to <a href="http://cps2shock.retrogames.com/gamelist.html" target="_blank">Razoola's page</a> blue boards do exist but were released only in Europe. And there is a grey (i.e. Asian) board.

The gray euro boards are not compatible with the US motherboards right?

As I said above, grey boards are Asian not Euro and no, they're not compatible with either US/Euro or Japan mobos. Euro boards (which are blue like US ones) on the other hand do work on US mobos.

After reading Razoola's page, I can see that the Board was not released in N.America, so I'll need either a Euro, or Jap board to enable play on a USA-board.
One other thing: a Hong Kong board is considered Asian, right? There are some at coin-op express, but they state that they are Hong Kong boards.
I don't know what I'd do, if it wasn't for this Tech Forum, thanks to all. buttrock
