Received the game today. Man that's a lot of detail put into the cart for it being a bootleg. Back in the neo geo days they didn't really care all that much. I won't have a chance to test the cart until sometime next week but I'll let you know how it does.
So a question about the carts and shipping. I only bought one cart this time and the shipping was crazy on it even though it arrived in like 4 days. Do you get s break on shipping if I order let's say 3 carts at a time or is shopping prety much going to be 20 a cart?

Usually for those type of international shipping, you get the same price up to a certain weight. One example is say $20 for up to 500g in weight, if an AW cart weighs 260g then of course two of them would go passed the 500g limit for that price, blah blah blah.

I asked them the same question about a possible 5 cart order and didn't get any reply. It looks like they offer combined shipping with their 'fulfillment by' but you can't see the postage tiers until after you've ordered? Has anyone had a postage discount for multiple carts to the US?

Well I got a response from Xing Ye, "we have not the guilty gear X 1.5, rumble fish 2 now, because we have not the original card to research,if you have, maybe you can sell one to me, how much?"
I pointed them to coinopexpress.

There's a new (cheaper) supplier selling on Aliexpress now. Ordering 5 bootleg carts averaged down to ~$35 each shipped to the US after combined postage.
Sad to see some of their listings with many more pieces sold than transactions. Looks like vermin are stocking up for ebay profit.

Were FOTNS carts usually around $400 before the bootlegs came out?

I saw the FOTNS carts going more for around $150-250, somebody might've paid $400 for a full kit but I don't think it ever went for $400 cart only, the only games that expensive were Dolphin Blue which was around $250-350 and Metal Slug 6 which was going for 300-500.

Looks like ebay removed it. Probably didn't pay his fees or someone reported it.

I've gotten a few carts from xing ye and they seem to be pretty good. I havent gotten to play much of them as I need to convert my atomiswave cabinet but the time I have played with them I can see no graphical or sound errors whatsoever.

Hate to bump a old thread but what was the final word on these? I'm interested in playing metal slug 6, found a fair price on a atomiswave board, but not on the cart. Someone mentioned if you bought 5 it came out to like 35 a piece. If that deal is still alive then what are the best ones to get. I'm not real interested in vs fighting games so that probably shrinks the library a bit. That dolphin blue game gets mentioned a lot is it really fun? And is there any U.S. sellers on here to go through? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AFAIK, only SS6 had any issues reported with it. I tried out the MS6 bootleg (gave it a playthrough) and didn't notice any problems with it. Fifty shipped is about right if you're buying one cart.

I bought ms6, dolphin blue, knights of valor, fist of the north star. They all play perfect. I bought a couple real carts of the affordable ones but I definitely have no complaints on these. I too read that ss6 had some problems but I believe more then one company Is producing these now so maybe there is a good copy out there?

You can add this serials too :
KOV 0900479
RM 2100373
GGI 1130022
MS6 3490501 / 3600240
NW 1702040
(me an my friends, already had this games with the same serials = boot)
btw my 2 friends are AW collectors, they have an massive collection.
It's an shame, and be carefull these boots are much better than the old ones, if your going to buy one of this, ask the seller the serial number.

RESURRECTION
We've now basically seen too that it looks like there are Rumble Fish 2 boots out there with Serial JH2600530
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?239526-WTT-Rumble-Fish-2
So now anyone buying this needs to be careful and at least check the serial (if it's being claimed to be legit).
