It looks like it has two eproms on the top board. Is it a bootleg?

No prob, I didn't buy it yet, and I won't now!

Let it be know that GWGAT sells bootlegs! Ha, I think everybody knows this already.

Oh, how do you know they are MX flash chips? What are the characteristics and what should I look for? Thanks

They say MX on them, big letters. Look at the second picture.

That's dissappointing :( I've purchased numerous carts from him & never received a boot.....

Guess I won't be buying from them any more.

He also has a habit of not shipping carts out.

GWGAT is one of those sellers that lists something as original and says nothing about it if it is not.

Loopyeddie: Good luck finding another copy.

Both 're boots because they use MX Flash & there's no mention of Twinkle Star Sprites NGM.

Yeah, that pic looks just like the KOF 2003 I picked up back in 2003. The problem with those MX chips and the combination of using wires for the links, not only does it suck that it's fake, but it will have problems if you decide to keep the game to just play. They are really touchy on voltage, so they tend to reset and lock up a lot, depending on the title. I had to send it back and did get a refund, thankfully. They claimed that their distributor told them that the game was official... I’m sure it’s the same thing they tell everyone who calls them on the boots. :very_ang:
