I wanted to trade this SS3 for another game but to be sure I opened it to check it. The bottom board has alot more chips then I'm used to seeing in the other MVS games I've opened. First picture is the top, second is the bottom and then the 3rd is the bottom of the bottom board.

I'm not used to seeing so many chips, and only a few have Toshiba on them. Thanks for the help.

The number of chips is correct for a Samurai Shodown III cart.

To me it seems to be an original cart, NOT a bootleg.

Great, thanks guys, I've only opened, Magical Drop2 and Nightmare in the Dark and they had ALOT less chips inside of it.

I just hope I put it together correctlly.... It was harder to put back in the usual.

Legit cart as far as I can see.

It's normal for MD2 and NITD to have less chips as they have much less meg count. Fighting games usually have much more graphic stuff.

You think that's a boot? Wait until you see the other version of the ss3 mvs cart that is packed full of eproms.
