BOOTLEG OR ORIGINAL U TELL ME CHAPS

HI all been a while since me posted but i have a Q if anyone can help ive just bought a MARK OF THE WOLVES mvs at a nice price but i need any info that can help me on spotting a bootleg cart any give aways on carts ie marks numbers or even inside wires anything would be a help thanks all

If the chips have little windows, its a fake. I believe all the chips used have toshiba wrote on them. The case is clear.

SO YOU ARE SAYING AL THE CASE'S ARE CLEAR TYPE? HMM IM SURE IVE SEEN SOLID COLOR CASE'S BUT THANKS FOR REPLY ANYWAY

I think he means the windows on the chips are clear. To re-iterate what was said:
While not 100% accurate, one way to get a rough guess on whether it's legitimate is to open it up and see if any of the chips have somewhat clear, holgram-like windows on them... If they do, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bootleg, but it's a good place to start.
By the way, if it's a fake Garou, the endings wouldn't be there and I don't believe you'd be able to fight Kain, even with the necessary requirements..

thanks for that the guy on ebay has em listed as 100 per cent original mvs, time to start praying to the neo cathedral

OK, man that info is a bit backwords, here is the deal on Garou.

Case color - Doesn't matter, but the two most common are a Opaque Green and a Clear case. I have also seen original in Black and Blue... but not very frequently.

Chips - Some offical Japanese (note some not all) contain EPROM chips, but they also contain the Security chip on the back board. The bootleg does not have the big security chip.

Endings - On MVS, the bootleg does not show endings, only something like Coming soon... all in the family. On AES, however, this boot would show endings (weird I know). The real version will show an ending if you beat Kain, but you may not see Kain on an original unless you play above AA.

Fight Kain - On the bootleg you always fight Kain, no matter how good or bad you do.

The only way to know is to open up the game, inspect the chips. If you see some EPROMs, don't panic, it may still be real. Play through the game and if you see Kain, but no endings... well, then you have the bootleg. If you don't see Kain, and DO NOT see endings, or you see Kain and see endings, then it is real.
