Im more surprised there arent more scams with these (not that bootlegging isnt a scam in itself ofcourse), surley making the stickers pales in comparison to making the pcb.. these could be very hard to detect in the "right" hands and sell for way more.. ?

I think the dead giveaway is the gold plating on the jamma edge versus chrome.

Not surprised, honestly. The yen is really weak right now and when you add Yahoo's fees on top of this, dude took a bath.
Should've just kept it TBH.

I also couldnt resist and bought me one of these...
Not via Ebay but the whatsapp shown in his auctions.
Paid like 920Euros express shipped.
As stated by others before,it is really well/factory made,considering solder,parts and overall look.
It is SDOJ btw,the fact that it's not in Mame and the hilarious price of an original made it kinda "reasonable" for me to pay this amount for a repro...but still stupid

technically it's still in MAME, commented out because of Exa's legal request, but it takes only few seconds to return katana and sdoj back

Would really suck if something was to go wrong
Also curious did the originals have a suicide battery?
If this one doesn't this could very well be better than owning the original

No suicide batteries fitted to the original boards.
Yep,no suicide battery on cave boards,but the originals had a battery installed that save settings and highscores,i guess(?)
How reliable? Time will tell...but they do look good,no "crappy" looking parts here like on some other typical bootlegs.

The battery on the original board is only relevant for the RTC iirc. Settings are stores in eeprom (or nand for later games)
I assume the same as original board, which means they break sometimes. Nand corruption is not uncommon. RAM going bad is not uncommon.
Bootlegs should likel be as good as original though.
