Is this a legit Sega PCB ? Because it's the first time I ever heard of a S.O.R PCB.
Considering there was never an original SOR PCB I think that might make it an original boardThanks a lot @GeeDee, it does make sense now
It would probably be a good idea to change the listing as "bootleg" instead of "original" in OP opening post ; to avoid any pb in the sale.
Technically speaking, there are SOR 1 and 2 megatech/megaplay carts, so that's the closest you'll get to an "official" arcade version. Depends on if you consider the playchoice Nintendo carts unique enough from the home carts since it's basically the exact same situation; different from the VS system.Considering there was never an original SOR PCB I think that might make it an original board
This style pcb is not the best for the job but it can be done.Since this is basically a genesis with a jamma edge, I wonder if it's possible to swap roms to change games? Maybe even figure out a way to get a everdrive on it? Lol, at that point, probably easier to get a JAMMAtizer genesis.
Personally I wouldn't class this as a bootleg although its right on the boarder line. As there was no original PCB streets of rage then there cannot be a bootleg of something that doesn't exist. It's more doujin or fan made just like the new MVS games that are getting released. Otherwise all the new MVS games should be bootlegs too. It's also a lot harder than the mega drive version and has been adapted for arcades. I.e. You need to insert credits in to play etc. So not really a megadrive with a jamma edge as you say.Pretty sure it's this bootleg: https://archive.org/details/arcade_barekch
I wouldn't go as far as to discredit the makers as it's something that Sega should have really done themselves. Everyone loves streets of rage and personally this pcb has enough differences to make it worthwhile to play. To be honest I'm not really sure what the background of this pcb is. Could it be this game that was in production and then axed by sega and distributed this way anyway? Was it a megaplay rom put onto a pcb? I've honestly no idea. They must have liked the game enough to think that it was worthwhile!"Bootleg" is kind of a subjective term. You can, however, absolutely say that this is an unlicensed and unauthorized clone of a Megadrive game. I wouldn't even give the makers' the courtesy of calling this doujin/fan-made. These boards were clearly made to sell for a profit.
