I got an MVS Japanese Garou (green box) from a neo-geo forum member who has a long standing.
The cart doesn't have much trouble booting up, and the graphics and sound work great, but the matches are always set to ten seconds and the controls are messed up (A = crouch, B = strong kick, C&D do nothing). Very weird. At any rate, I open the cart and took some pics. I am still pretty new to the Neo scene and while I know some things to look for when identifying a boot (EP roms, non-SNK chips), I do not know if these things guarantee it's a boot. So please take a look and give me some pointers. Also, it looks covered in flax (is that what the stuff used with solder is called?), which might be a dead giveaway. I suppose that wire shouldn't be there also. Well, I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks!
