Any info on this bootleg MVS cartridge?

[marcao_cfh]

Hello everybody. How's going?

I'm new to MVS world, in fact I still don't even have a MVS board (MV1C and boards to build a OMVS are on the way). I got this cartridge as-is and I'm trying to get more info on it.

Since it's a bootleg, it doesn't have the code on the ICs that allows to ID the game. The sticker SSII make me guess it's a Samurai Shodown 2 rom. The 2P1 UV EPROM is marked UP 2P1 with a pencil. The 3P2 UV EPROM is marked U 3P2. And the P23 UV EPROM is marked U P23. So maybe it's a 2in1 cartridge?

Also, it have those red dip switches (J7) and a pair of wires that are cut (J, any clue on what they do?

When I build my OMVS I'll be able to test it and hope it works. Meanwhile I'm curious on more info on this cartridge, so anything would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

That's just a kof 2002 multicart it has nothing to do with Samurai Shodown 2.

Hey, sorry for the late reply, somehow I missed the notification.

Thanks for the info. Any clue on the dip switches? Still waiting for the parts to build my OpenMvs to arrive.

I've never owned one of those before, but I guess the wires were once attached to some sort of switch, and you were supposed to press it so you could change games or call a menu to choose a different game, I'm not sure.
Be careful with those types of bootlegs because the PCB is thicker than a legit cart, and it's a pain in the ass to insert and remove from the MVS.

Just throw them away—they have no value at all. Last year, someone tried to sell me 40 of them for 3 dollars each, but I have absolutely no interest in pirated copies.

If there are any legit boards and shells in there, I know many who would take that deal. Very useful parts.

Hi! I recently bought a batch of Neo Geo MVS cartridges and one of them, KOF 97, came with this board containing sockets for the ROMs. It doesn't look like they were soldered on afterwards. Has anyone seen this before?

It's odd that they're socketed, but the roms are legit. Could be a repair.
