NTSC Ikari Warriors

[xulchris]

How do you tell if a NTSC Ikari Warriors is fake? It seems that with the NTSC conversion done by Thomas Jentzsch, it would be relatively easy to make fake versions of this cart. That is, take a PAL cart, open it up, and put a eprom with the conversion in it.

 

Why was a conversion made of such a rare game?

 

Anyway, I'm interested in buying a real one if someone can prove to me it's real. Thanks.

Well, you could spot a fake by looking at the circuit board. I happen to own a real NTSC Ikari Warriors and there is no EPROM boards out there right now that look like it.

 

You could also weigh it on a digital scale.

i would be interested in having the PAL Ikari warriors i have converted over.....or find a NTSC one. Which ever comes first i guess. I think you and I are searching down a dead end road. I have yet to see one ebay and if there ever is one come up it'll be a bidding war im sure.

I believe Thomas did that because everyone thought it didn't exist in NTSC format.
