A Special Real Bout Special

[wataru330]

My RBS looks legit, but behaves in a way that makes me question it’s authenticity (or my intelligence).

In a JPN 4 slot, where every other cart demos and plays in ‘gana, ‘kana, and kanji…and has blood:

this RBS is in English, and has sweat. What gives? Does the cloudy nut colored G cart come with nut/sweat as the default fluid?

You sure this isn't a Korean version? Check the P1 ROM chip, see what is printed on it.

The label isn't original so therefore the cart shell could be a replacement too.

I'm putting my money on a shell swap...

Thanks, man! It’s a KOR cart.

Throwing me off that the board says 1994 on it but RBS came out in 97.

It doesn't matter. 1994 is just when the PROGBK1 board was designed. Most PROGBK1's say 1994.

Oh no I get that.
It's just weird.

I owned a KOF 2000 MVS cart with a repro label that had the "sweat". I suspect it comes from glue oxidizing.

The sweat he was referring to is censorship in game.
