... The real giveaway for a homebrew conversion/boot is the MASK ROM TYPE B-board as opposed to the JEDEC EP-ROM type B-board of the legit Japanese resale version.
To make this boot they used a US Street Fighter II Champion Edition board. The 8 GFX ROMs were burned onto non-JEDEC 27C400 EPROMs as the standard 27C4096 wouldn't be compatible (without major and unsightly rewiring). For sound and program ROMs the stock EPROMs were erased and reburned. So the cost of the boot is SF2CE + 8 EPROMs + 1 PAL. Needless to say it's well below 200 dollars (60-70, I would say).
Listen to MKL.
