Well, for starters, bootleg what?

Are you trying to weed out bootleg MVS carts?

A home cart you suspect is a conversion?

Possible HK versions of NEO CD games?

That's a handy site. How can you spot a bootleg AES cart? I'm sure I don't have any, but I was just curious. I know that the pinouts are different on bootlegs, but is that the only difference that is easy to spot (aside from taking the cart apart)?
