Never thought I'd ask this... is it a boot?

Yes. Unless someone says otherwise.

Copy and paste to browser most likely, as I don't think the pic will show.

Edit Note: It's in a clear case. I think that's odd because I don't believe I've noticed Metal Slug games in Clear cases before. Oh, and I think a pic of a Metal Slug cart just like mine popped up here not too long ago. Don't remember what was said about it...

definatly a boot.
Original Metal slug games use a ProgBK1 board.

Yeah, the chips don't have the right sequence numbers on them, and the little jumper wire doohickey is a bit quirkey too. I guess this was a good thread to document another boot, though.

I sent you a bunch of pics of my verified real Metal Slug cart.
Black Case.

Already emailed you back wink

Thanks!

Will a legit/repaired legit cart ever have a wire soldered from one point to another like that?

Or is it ok to assume that any cart with a wire(s) like that is a boot?

There were two other threads in the last couple of days about the same MS boot:

Some official carts have wires, but it is rare. You will find a wire in FF3 MVS and some versions of MOTW. Also repaired carts like my original KOF95 (I have two versions one repaired by SNK one original non-repaired) has a single wire in it...
