The UniBIOS check and the replaced P ROMs have nothing to do with noisy audio. Clean the cartridge and your console.
FYI I also have MOTW AES.

YOUR CART IS NOT A BOOT! CLEAN IT!
I will. Thanks for everything and sorry for asking for so much, it's just that I was worried with the cart. And since it was expensive...The UniBIOS check and the replaced P ROMs have nothing to do with noisy audio. Clean the cartridge and your console.

One last question: do you know why the CRC shows the "custom" information? Is it normal?
Probably has to do with the fact Garou MOTW's P ROMs are encrypted (except the first bank).
Cool.It may have to do with encryption, but it's strange anyways. I just tested with some encrypted games (Garou, MS4, MS5 and kof2003), all give full CRC32, except for Garou which shows the same "custom" that shows to rodolfocm. Also, I get a different CRC32 on my Garou, but it also shows as OK. Different revision, I guess.

Looks legit but maybe EP1 was repaired/replaced? Could be factory soldered but you'd need to check the back of the board. Here's scans of my old MotW:

is that what it looked like?
I've also like to request for any feedback with regards to a copy of Garou which I just bought.
I've made scans of insert and manual some cart pics.
I have found that a couple guitar picks work wonders for opening AES carts. The screen replacement kits (for cell phones) usually include a couple blue plastic tools that are also very nice.
Regards.
Excellent photos. I compared them with my copy and either yours an original, or mine's fake, too .
With papers like that, there's really no need to open up anything. If necessary, you could also compare
yours with another MotW cart in person, but I can confirm up to 99% yours is genuine.
Enjoy it!
Your MOTW has a PROGLBA board and the papers are all super sharp, there's no reason to open the cartridge. Like I said, the amount of effort required to fake a game like MOTW with a donor PROGLBA board makes it not worth doing.
KOF 99 is the only other game. Their PROGLBA boards don't share compatible NEO-SMA decryption chips, which is why for all intents and purposes, PROGLBA means your game is real.
