After alittle look, i have found the pic i made that has the chip numbers for both the Proto and the retail versions of Earthbound i have also included a few other pics. I thought some of you guys might find interesting.
I have given each chip a color just look at the same color, on the other cart to see the difference in chip numbers..
(this is where it gets exciting)
Back of the Proto Earthbound Board.. manual soldering
In this pic, look at both hoops there is a slight difference to the
proto board it has no solder point were as the retail version does.
More manual soldering, and the missing solder point...
