This shit still works even with all that jizz on the SNK PCM chip eating away at it for the last 20+ years?

The address decoder looks like a dead roach stuck to the board. Shocked it does anything more than act as a doorstop. There should be a "worst boots" award category...I'm nominating this!

Holy shit, I had a board just like that. It was the first puzzle bobble I bought. Damn I should have taken more pics of it. Thing would scream I mean literally scream on the title screen. Dumped that thing fast lol.

Does it play properly? I had a very similar boot that had major audio issues.

It happens that music stops after some minutes, but not the sound effects, only music :)
And if you boot it like Bust a Move, on the title screen you will only hear garbled noises.

I LOVE IT :keke:

That sounds pretty similar to what I experienced. Mine was advertised on eBay as being authentic, and the seller was incredibly embarrassed (or at least feigned it well) when I informed him. Who knows, maybe this is my returned copy, sent to Italy.

i really want to snatch the cart and give it some love. it needs alot of cleaning, covers for the eproms and remove thosewh mask roms and clean up the decoder chip. maybe repurpose it into another boot or make a wh cart again
