Can we please keep the thread shitting out of the tech support forum? There are plenty of other places on here for this type of nonsense.
The problem is, this particular item has quite a bit of range in its appeal so regardless of it being a fake, it will fetch healthy money for these reasons:
-- last game released for the neogeo
-- extremely rare & expensive to buy an original
-- extremely difficult to build a bootleg cart yourself.
(if even possible to be honest?)
-- unique small boards make people curious
Again, real or not, if it works right (albeit sound glitch?) it's still worth money.
I contacted the buyer and asked him if I can see it. ( I in no way want to purchase something like this) but I've never seen a small circuit board in an mvs cart. He is like an hour away I believe.
Just looks super interesting is all. Will let you guys know, what he says.
Can you clarify this a little bit?
As in, the sound glitch is commonly found in the released version?
Also, just curious, but are there in fact bootlegs of SS5S out there? (personally I have seen them for SS5, but not for SS5S)
I have looked in to it and think that it might be a bad dump of one of the sound roms, however it might never be confirmed as one of the only ways to test it is to dump the sound roms again. These days though, no one is really willing to do so with a $1000+ game.
Sound glitch is not actually found on a legit board. The sound glitch actually shows itself during the versus screen where the announcer is saying the names of both characters. The glitch only happens with a certain character named Basara though. You will hear a distortion pop sound while the announcer is saying his name. This same sound glitch is in the neo geo rom sets available online.

That makes sense. Does anyone wanna volunteer their legit copy and try that same trick? Yeah this is one of those games I know I will never own.....cept for Steam.
I just tried it out with my real MVS cartridge on a single slot board. I can't here any glitchy or odd sound when I pick Basara? It makes an affirmation sound, and then his boomerang flight sound. I made a 10 second video of it as well. Anyone wanna check it (listen to it) to verify or post it for me? (have never tried to post a video here)
Pretty damn violent game btw. I didn't used to think so. Maybe I'm getting old!

... I've never even seen one myself for that matter. Internet sites or eBay, real or bootleg, you just don't see this game very often, and lots of people want to play it & have it.
I thought SSVS was on the 161 cart?
I knew it would sell high.
It has nothing to do with that whole "Proto" possibility thing. That very well could just be a load of crap. Who cares. It was really because of the game itself. Again, I don't see where one can purchase a bootleg of this game? I've never even seen one myself for that matter. Internet sites or eBay, real or bootleg, you just don't see this game very often, and lots of people want to play it & have it.
And when originals skyrocket in price & plunge in availability, this is the phenomenon that ensues; a high demand for bootlegs of scarce games.
Damn, $471?! Time to have my buddy unload on the few he has.
