Hello,

I recently just got a Zupapa MVS, but I think it might be a pirate.
When I opened the cart to inspect the circuits/roms, I noticed a flash rom on the back print, in the lower left corner. Is this normal or do all Zupapa MVS's have this. The sticker and Box have serial numbers and the prints are also marked with the SNK logos and serial keys.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: After close inspection it's an EPROM I think (the windowed ones). The solderings look professional, no mess at all. All the other roms look also untouched and the print is still very glossy. Looks good. So I wonder if SNK actually used EPROMs for this game?

Yes every Zupapa has an EPROM..someone else mentioned on the boards that it was likely used to correct a sound glitch in the game code. So don't worry your Zupapa is an original

Edit: Here's the thread that talks about it in more detail:
