Most bootlegged MVS games

[chrd]

What are - in your experience - the most frequently bootlegged games (apart from Puzzle Bobble)?

So far in two years of looking at many MVS carts I've only seen bootlegs of:

- Nightmare in teh Dark (that was on the label, no typo)
- Sengoku 3

Did I luck out, are there less boots in Europe, or is piracy not as rampant in MVS as we tend to assume sometimes?

Do you mean old asian bootlegs or recent scalper bootlegs made from original parts?

If old, then Puzzle Bobble and just about any KOF or late SNK fighter.

If new, don't really see too many being made. There's Irritating Maze, but most modern MVS boots are of "safe" titles, ones with no MVS release.

I was referring to "old" bootlegs.

Interesting that series of KOF were often booted. This might explain why I've not ran into many boots (since I'm not really into most fighters).

+1 for Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move, on the MVS.

And Neo Turf Masters, on the AES.

I actually fee bad for people how want to get an original copy of these games.

Metal Slug 5 has more than a few bootlegs... as does Metal Slug 1, for some bizarre reason.

I've run into Puzzle Bobble/Bust a Move and Metal Slug boots most often. Seen quite a few MS4 bootlegs as well.

I have encountered many neo bomberman, ultimate 11 and puzzle de pon boots since i start collecting.

That reminds me.... I actually forgot that I've owned a Neo Bomberman boot too at one point (with Spanish in-game text, ...). And I remember seeing a Pop'n Bounce boot too. I've not seen a MS boot so far.

I've had a Breakers 100% boot cart. A Slug 5 Plus. SVC Plus. Over Top boot on legit SNK boards.

I've avoided the Puzzle Bobble, Neo Bomberman, and KoF boots.

Oh god, NB and U11.

Those are almost as bad as PB.

Definitely Puzzle Bobble. It seems the most counterfeited MVS game. It's hard to get an original one. I have also boots of KoF 2000 and 2001. Also got a boot of Metal Slug 3, but when I found it was boot, I asked the seller to replace it, which he did without issue. Recently, my Blazing Star is all original parts but the CHA board is a 256 instead of a 512Y which suggests it might be a boot. Also my Sengoku 3 has all original, matching parts, but the solderings on the CHA board are obviously hand-made.

Regards.

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos

I've seen quite a lot of them.

I currently have a puzzle bobble, strikers 1945 plus, metal slug 5, neo bomberman at the moment. All of which I got under the assumption they were legit. The people I bought them off of didn't genuinely know about boots but now I'm kinda stuck with them.

puzzle bobble, svc chaos (plus) and neo bomberman are the most common ive seen

but puzzle bobble has to be no1 seen so many boot copies.

You need to take a pic of that board. It must have some sort of wiring patch job.

Don't need to. The cha512 supports mapping for 256 megs of graphics like the cha256. All you do is change jumpers.

 

[zaneiken]

The only boots that I've come across were Magical Drop II and Super Dodge Ball.

It's weird how there are Puzzle de Pon boots, but you don't see any for Puzzle de Pon R.

 

[jesesfbi]

Grandest boot I hVe come across was pochi and nyaa on a aes lol. But as all have said MS1, PB, strikers 1945+, nightmare in the dark.

 

[jeffensminger]

The 2 bootlegs I've run into the most are puzzle bobble and SVC chaos. I've had a real hard time finding originals.

 

[HeavyMachineGoob]

Don't need to. The cha512 supports mapping for 256 megs of graphics like the cha256. All you do is change jumpers.

So, Blazing Star has all 32Mbit C ROMs and doesn't need the CHA512, weird.

Metal Slug 1 & Puzzle Bobble.

The board I would probably consider to be the most booted would be Puzzle Bobble.

However, out of my collection I only have 2 boots that I am aware of (need to check two of my newest carts for authenticity): Neo Mr. Do and SVC Chaos +.

The Neo Mr. Do was purchased at a very low price because the seller figured it was a boot, one board looked legit so I took a chance.. He was right, definite boot, but I got it at a boot price, so I am not mad. SVC Chaos, I wanted the bootleg + version just for some of the features, so I was looking for the bootleg.

Now games I have looked for and found repeated bootlegs being sold seems to be NITD and Zupapa, but the only reason I think that I found a lot of boots of those two is just how long I was actively looking for those two carts. Oddly enough, I have come across 2 Puzzle Bobbles and both are legit.

I used to see a lot of bootleg Neo Mr.Do games. Metal Slug 6 comes to mind as well. I forget what game Metal Slug 6 is a hack of but it seems to be around a lot on ebay as well.
