Looks good to me.."but" my BAM looks just like yours and it was said to be a boot once..then not to be..
I figure it is a boot because I got it awhile back from ASLAN11
It plays perfectly though.
I would have to "see" the bottom boards solderings to actually say this is a boot..or not..
Pictures tell it all..
Before I'd bid on it I'd want to see them...

I'm not that sure it is legit... Notice there are roms with the code 96 (AoF 3) while some others have 68 (Power Spikes 2), while, according to the Master List, Puzzle Bobble is 83.

And what about AoF3? Do them all use them as well? Isn't it pretty strange that, appearently, this BAM doesn't use any BAM chip?

lol, I was about to say the same thing. And the answer to your question is yes, this is a boot. C'mon guys, It's not rocket science to have boots machine soldered and manufactured in Hong Kong.
No official chips + Not even a single chip with the proper NGH number = bootleg
sorry.

All facrory solder joints, no hand job stuff.
I'd like to see what HPMAN says about this one....
Looks like a bootleg to me.
The D96-x ROMs are mask ROM's. Most bootlegs use EPROMs since a mask ROM has to be programmed at the factory and cannot be changed. Unless some bootleg company has a mask ROM factory, I'm pretty sure its original.
My bootleg BAM is entirely EPROM.

Some of you guys are being rediculaous about this. The game is clearly a bootleg. If you guys honestly believe that any game that isn't made up of eproms is authentic, maybe you need to check all the carts in your collection again. Seriously, It's not like everyone Hong Kong is some piss poor savage running around waving sticks. Real factories exist there you know, and to assume that every bootleg producing company is some sweatshop that contains no real machinery and only handtools is nothing more than a non thought-out illusion. Half the electronics in your house were probably manufactured in Hong Kong, so what makes you think that they could manufacture pretty much everything under the sun, but not maskroms? Once again, the bottom line is, if you don't see officially used chips in your cartridge, then it isn't an official cartridge.
