    Hi,
    i got my hands on a SNES FX2 Development board with DOOM Roms on it.
    First at all the board is legit as you can see on the picture. I compare a dump from the seller with the Final version and it is 100% the same without any differents. The Seller did not dump it. He got the dump from a friend. So im not total sure if this dump is really from the board at all..
    I have to check it when it arrive.
    My question for now is: Have any prototype or sample cart small differents like the header compare to the final version? Or can it be 100% same data as retail?
    What did you think, the chips looks legit? The eproms are from 95 what is realistic.

    Yes, not unusual.

    It's certainly not unknown to have a prototype board with the final code on it. That the board appears to have been hand-soldered is rather unusual, although not inconsistent with the nearly a year gap between the PCB production date and the parts on it.
