Title: Aeroblasters bootleg
Post by: Jinxed on February 16, 2015, 09:46:32 AM: Picked this up with a bunch of games a while back, never seen hu-cards like this before.
Im guessing its a bootleg, anyone have any info on it?

I've seen a few cards that have some girth like sf2 but damn that's a fatty. As far as i know both pce and tg16 hucards were flat for that game. I'm sure others will chime in shortly with a more definitive answer though.

I'd love to know what's underneath that cover ... presumably a standard-sized masked rom, but it could be just an eprom if they were doing small runs of the bootleg.

I've GOT to find one of those for my little collection. :-k

Follow the link provided above and you can see the innards of similarly built 1943 and Soldier Blade booties.

Doh! Silly me, I looked at the page, but didn't click on the games themselves to go further in! :oops:

So, various type of cards ... usually eprom, but also a few with multiple chips and scratched-up rom/flash/whatever. Fun! :)

Post by: pdiggitydogg on February 16, 2015, 10:22:21 PM: I'm about to get a bank card in the mail (someday) What do they look like inside? Can a coin battery clip fit if trimmed, I wonder?

This card looks pretty neat. I didnt know there were hubootlegs

Some of the booties are made by King, so that's fitting (so to speak). :mrgreen:
