I bought the Last BLade 2 from caroles-collectables on ebay, and I was wondering how I could spot a bootleg. I opened up the cart and looked at it, the circuit boards said SNK on them and the connections between the rom chips and the circuit board look very clean not soldered, factory done, but I know that I should check the numbers on the chips themselves, where can i find the # that should be on the chips? :oh_no:

Most of the stuff they sell are not boots.

I was just stating a fact that’s all no need to get hostile.
