Wow, all those look really identical in a way. It really is hard to say though, but after looking through them all, I do believe they are legit at least the board and the EPROMS are. Then again, some of them might not be (in regard to being made as a prototype before the release of the final game). It is possible that someone could have bought a handful of long board prototype that had no data on them and someone put the EPROMS of the files together onto them??

The weird part is that they are all long boards. What are the chances of getting that many at once? I only own a few and were very hard to come by. They do look used up and outdated, so it looks like he just was lucky enough to be able to get his hands on all these prototypes at once.

He also has sold three other ones a month ago. http://www.ebay.com/sch/nowhere.j...



There was a Japanese seller who, until recently, sold NOS longboards. There was also another JP seller who came into possession of a bunch of EPROMs (some questionable as to their prototype status) and dev boards which I think he'd pair up and sell. Do recall all of the the loose eeproms the one seller on Yahoo had claimed to have bought up. His auctions all seemed to fade away last year. This current seller is believed to be liltupac usinmg a second account if that counbts for anything?

Funny thing is, I asked him from another account if he has Seiken Densetsu. He replied he has protos of the third one (SFC), and of the first one for Game Boy. But the GB one was pending payment the following week. ]]> Are these protos legit? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=35&threadid=154622 2015-11-02T20:52:41 -05.00 Prototector 6

The dev boards are undoubtedly authentic, but it just seems like they were equipped with EPROMs loaded with ROM images that are widely available the internet. Yet, some collectors and experts say they could be real. The last one, at least, was called out as BS by others, though. They have already sold 3 in the past. ]]>
