AS: I don't really know where this thread belong, so mods, please move it if needed

Hello
I recently bought this WHP on ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/132908866202

And the P1/P2/EP1/EP2/S1 are EPROMs and M1 is an OTP PROM. Moreover the serial is pretty low (98). i believe it is a location test version, but if anyone has a low serial WHP and is willing to chech his PCBs it would help me quite a bit.

Did you run a CRC check in Unibios?

Don't mean to discourage you, but judging by the lack of pictures in the sales add (and "trying" to cover the eproms in the only picture), i would bet it's a boot...

The right board matches nothing on mvs scans. Check if it's hand soldered when you get it, but it may end up being a boot.

Unfortunately I don't have an Unibios. It is not a boot as all the C and V roms are original, machine-soldered mask roms. The eproms seem machine soldered. All the other games are original and the WH1 has Toshiba eproms as P1 and P2 and an OTP PROM as M1. I know a game shop where I could do an Unibios CRC check, I will try to do it this week. If it is different from the real whp I will share the roms

It always helps to provide a picture.

Also, your link is to WH2 not WHP.

It may redirect you to another listing as the one I bought has ended. I will upload pictures today.

It would be nice to have a better photo, but it looks legit. Notice the layout is the same as WH2J, but with roms added. Real SNK carts commonly had the EPROMs labeled like that.

Bus + snow = no bus... I'll get the cart as soon as possible, unfortunately not today.

The EPROMs are the same brand as my Ghostlop and Magical Drop III protos, NEC and Toshiba.

Looks like you forgot to post a full scan of the PROG board. That one is more interesting due to all the extra P roms. At any rate, the cart is totally legit.
