I also bought a Blazing Start form him. It also has a wrong (albeit original, with all original chips) char board inside (256B vs original 512Y) but the game plays fine. However, the first boss sometimes gets the sprite like cut, when it's exploding and stuff, no clue if this is normal or a product of using the wrong board. In the end I received a $25 refund and everything worked fine.
Regards.
That is normal for sprite flicker. Too many sprites on one line can cause flicker. As far as coinopstore is concerned, it's funny, not 6 months ago he was selling blazing star for 60 bucks lol.
The higher priced Blazing Star carts are the ones with original holo labels.
Mine costed the same initially, but I wrote him asking for a refund because the boards were clearly repaired (I specifically avoided calling them fake) and got a $25 refund. The label also seems non-legit (it's not paper like most MVS cartridges, but it's also not holo...it's like it has some plastic coating protecting it, weird). Mine has serial 007560, is yours the same by any chance?Mine was 85 with cheap paper label.
