  1. Oh boy. The EPROM (with UV erase window) of the bootleg game has nasty molten edges. It's a wonder the chip works. Also there is a piece of paper under the save battery...

    1. @adiwan Nothing wrong with a little bit of paper to fill up a gap... Unless if it is used as a resistor of some sort.

      1. @critialcloudkicker I removed the paper and I saw that there were some small components directly below that battery. So I think that this piece of paper is an integral part.

        1. @adiwan Oh, it's a bump-protector at best or an insulator at worst then...

          1. @critialcloudkicker Definitely an insulting insulator.

            1. @adiwan How about the nasty molten edges of the EPROM ? Shoddy craftsmanship or did it melt under your care at one day ?

              1. @critialcloudkicker The bottom edge is melted. Sadly the photo doesn't show how bad it really is. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/833589

                1. @adiwan Oh-hoh-hoh, that is rich :) And way cooler than looking at my the pictures of my boss's newborn ( oh he is so proud ) ... I guess that settles it though, I am a huge nerd.

                  1. @critialcloudkicker Right! Babies are small ugly humans with huge heads and poopy smelly pants.

                    1. @adiwan Which has changed my boss into a slightly more serious and way less enjoyable self. Probably because changing your life's routine to fit in "look at/after/before and act upon - baby"
