Ask Shapermc, I'm sure he could tell you where you can pick it up, he tracked down a Armed Police Batrider board for me.

And Guwange is an awesom game. :D

I have Guwange (not to mention other Cave boards), and I can tell you that this will be an adventure. First, it's pretty rare: Most people who have it won't part with it. Period.

Second: expect to pay at least $180 for it. If you find it for that much, consider it cheap. I've seen it go for as much as $250, and even then it's a deal (yes, the game is that good).

Third, make sure it's not a booty when you get it. Cave boards tend to get booted often, so make sure you are buying an original by looking at the ROM chips: they should say Atlus and Cave on them.

Good luck my friend: It is a worthy cause!

Yes indeed, it's an awesome game. I had looked for it a long time ago and it was very hard to find. I would advise asking people on the boards who are good sellers, or going the Ebay way. Also, check out your local arcade machine vendors and see if they have it. I've picked up some pretty cheap PCB because they just got them in and had no idea of the real worth. Check em out.

Sometimes the board arcitecture will be different, but the Cave and Atlus logos are the best way to check.

Yeah, because you can get component out of your Xbox, but remember that we can get RGB out of our SuperGuns here in Europe, and then connect them to our TV's...

This is just a standard note on identifying JAMMA boards as boots. If there is no Key (that gap about a third of the way across the connector) do not buy it. To save on money boot JAMMA boards will not cut out that key which shouts out "BOOT!". I always wondered why some of my first Jamma boards were so cheap.
