Hello everyone - I am a relative newbie on to these forums and to buying neo geo mvs carts. I have been very excited about getting my hands on mvs games since I just finished building myself a supergun + 1 slot mvs (MVH-Slot1T).
Anyways, I have always wanted to pick up Garou: Motw and there are 2 games on ebay right now. Great Western Trade company is selling them right now and they have shots of the game's (snk branded) pcbs. The problem was that both games pcbs looked different due to a few additional eproms (windowed) on one copy and not the other.
They reassured me that these were 100% original - and I believe them. They told me the reason was that snk ran out of chips or something, so they used programmable eproms. Again, not all the chips in the Garou cart were windowed eproms, just 3-4 chips. Is this a regular occurance in MVS carts? If so, is this difference in pcbs(in Garou) purely cosmetic or are there gameplay/music/graphic alterations?
One more thing, people have said that the older 1 slot motherboards can't play newer games like rage of the dragon, kof2003, ss5, etc. - is this true with my model (MV1-T)?
Sorry if this has been asked before - I have already tried to look at previous postings.
Thanks
Hung
