I've been looking at http://mvs-scans.com/index.php/Main_Page trying to determine if what I got here is a boot, now I understand you gotta look at some of the board markings, soldering, ROM chips to see if it's really genuine or not, am I missing anything or is this definitely a boot and why?

It's a boot.

The first board should only have one windowed eeprom.

Also the board markings don't add up; that board goes to savage reign and wh2, not bust a move/puzzle bobble.

So your saying the board may be authentic but the EEPROM's are obviously burned, therefore making it a boot?

:scratch:

Uh, I'm saying it's a boot because for one it has several windowed eeproms on a savage reign board that plays puzzle bobble. What more do you need than that?

malignantpoodle has a good point.

Also, the PB board does not have any Rom chips with NGH#s. (n1.) :eek:

And, the PB board looks like squidget's PB boards. (n2.) :eek:

IMHO, these sings are not good indicators of a genuine NEO-GEO cart. :(

Sorry didn't mean to confuse you, thank you very much.
