If nothing else, the boards don't have a SNK logo on them anywhere. I've seen bootleg boards that say SNK (and of course you can reuse SNK boards), but in any case the absence of a logo is a clear tipoff.

That soldering is fucking awful though.

why people want to bootleg MS4???

It's actually a good question, since the game did not sell well (it's 2017 and NOS kits can still be found at decent prices) so it seems strange to bootleg it. Maybe they just bootlegged whatever new game came out?

Disagree. I think all Slugs were desirable to operators. It makes sense for any installments in the heavy hitter series like KOF or MS to get bootlegged.

This. Boots of late release games like this were made when the games were new to sell to operators for less than the originals, not to dupe foolish collectors in 2017 like the countless TSS eprom boots on eBay.
