Looking for a CPS1 A-board for a SF2WW. My a-board has some graphical issues and would like a replacement while the repair goes on in the background .

Based near Houston, TX.

Many thanks! 😁

If it is just an interim solution I have a stack of bootlegs SF2 and think a couple are WW.
 
SCAM WARNING!!!
Hey folks, just to post a warning to all here. I've been scammed on a cps1 a-board and a Superman pcb. I received a direct message from a user called @ScottMGQ (screenshot attached) seemingly reaching out being a good citizen recommending some guy called Mark at the email address : mgbmgacorp@gmail.com as he specialized in such things. Anyway, unfortunately I was stupidly trusting based on the fact he was recommended by a user here and agreed to do a transaction for $140 (a-board) through zelle to include an invoice number. I was also looking for a taito superman pcb and it turned out he had one and agreed on a $200 price. All looked legit and this scammer even has the audacity to call me to chat further which was susprising. I reverse image searched and they had stolen another user's posts on here from 2020. (screenshot attached) I've also included the Gmail photo this scammer AKA Mark used. I'd suggest the tactic is to DM people who post wanted posts, don't be stupid like me and trust based on the forum. I'd managed to survive 47 years on the planet without being scammed, so this one really hurts. It's not about the money, it's the principal of the thing. What is the world coming to when you can't trust anyone at all.
I'm just raging that I was stupidly enough to fall for it. Anyway, I hope this prevents someone else on here getting scammed. Can the administrator please ban this ScottMGQ user. This gmail is also linked to some automotive parts scams. I have contacted the administrator directly to alert them to this scam.

I feel like there's more than 1 scammer here.

Anyone who gets asked a specific question about a board and avoids the answer is also a scammer.

I too feel I have been screwed recently despite receiving boards.

Sorry to hear that you've also been subjected to this type of thing. It's a sad state of affairs 😨
 
Hi, folks. Unfortunately we have another attempted scammer in our midst, who knew CPS1 boards would be this popular. Users name is @Mr_Karate. Screenshot attached. I reverse image searched and they stole that pcb image from a current ebay listing. I confirmed with seller before this assusation.

We did a more in depth check and looks like the IP address is legit. Is it possible that this guy is also offering the PCB on ebay and it's the same guy? I know it's suspicious, because he has low post count but.....please ask for pictures. It might be a legit user.
 
No, unfortunately not. I've contacted the seller on ebay and he confirmed it was his image and board in that photo. He's in Bradford. I also challenged on that fact and included the ebay listing, and got zero response. Of course, I'd love to be wrong and say they were sharing photos, but I doubt it.

That's getting a bit crazy. The access looks legit. The guy even contacted me via ArcadeOtaku asking for reinstatement of his account....
The seller is Mo Patel, which I know. I asked him why is he using a picture of an ebay seller
