Authentic MegaMan Carts (!?)
I recently purchased some NES MegaMan games to finish off my set. I opened them up to validate that they are in fact authentic, but I'm not entirely sure. I verified most of the info on the respective PCBs with that found on http://nintendoage.com/ and they seem to align correctly.
What has me most concerned are some of the chips on the board originating from Korea (MegaMan 1) and Malaysia (MegaMan 2). I haven't been able to find any info regarding whether this is normal or not with games from that era. I have an extra MegaMan 2 (labled MegaMan2_Real) and it looks vastly different than the questionable one with the Malaysia chip. However, there appear to be two variants of the hardware on nintendoage.com, but they don't have pics of the PCBs.
Long story short, I was hoping I could get some feedback from you guys, especially those who may already have the titles, in order to authenticate these games. If I'm posting in the wrong forum, I apologize, but any direction into getting this solved would be appreciated.
Thanks!
FYI: the pic with no cartridge in the background is MegaMan 1.
