I understand we need to check the boards on MVS games compared to the MVS Scans website to check and see if carts are legit.
I’ve always questioned the chips themselves though. For example, do the names, letter, and numbers need to match on each chip? For instance, an MVS Scan resource may say “Toshiba 9509EAI” while the same chip on my board says “Toshiba 9587EA.” Now, I’m completely making this scenario up, but does this the mean the chips and boards are therefore not legit?
I suppose my question is, to what level of matching does your board need to match the MVS scans page? Is it chip placement? Or do the titles, letters, and numbers on the chips need to match completely?
