This includes the new ROM version with Free Play bug fix (purchased from Southtown Homebrew) and the original ROM.

I have removed the original battery to keep it from corroding the board. In it's place, I have mounted a coin cell battery receptacle and coin cell battery and properly modified the charging circuit (Using the diagram from RFK) since the coin cell is not rechargeable. The battery is flush with the board and on the back of the board since there is very little room for a coin cell on the front side.

I have not found any extra kit items so what you see in the pictures is all I have.

Price is $725 shipped in the USA. Sold!

USA only for now.

Weird, definitely doesn't look like a boot, but why were all the chip serials filed off? Definitely an odd thing to do on a legit board.

Some companies do this due to using Custom chips, that way a bootlegger wouldn't know what to use when trying to make a copy. At least that's what Konami did back in the day. So I would assume the same in this case.

CAVE was just embarrassed to use IGS Taiwanese technology :lolz:
After Ketsui they moved to the CAVE CV1000 hardware.

Thanks. Just got back into PCBs and was wondering the same thing.

Yeah, this is correct. Every Ketsui pcb I've ever seen has the custom chips numbers scratched off.
