    Going by the PCB serial it's almost certain to be. See here. There's a few that share it, but the "SF2" kind of gives it away ;)

    That and the ever-popular "Sonic 1 Not for resale proto".

    Uh? There's about 5 games which share the same PCB serial. It doesn't mean a thing.

    lol..very easy way to fake some protos on hoping for a better sale on ebay, just by disassembling some 50cent games, put a sticker on and write the name with a botchy handwriting.

    How is provenance usually established? Does it come down to the reasonableness of the description given combined with something like reputation of seller and evidence given?

    If someone were to show pictures of a cart indistinguishable from a development cart (so many pictures float around it seems reasonable to be able to imitate), along with screenshots of a game that is distinct from the retail version, how is one to know?

    Socketed, reflashable ROMs on a non-retail board would be a good start for a fake, but that's probably quite a pain to make.

    It does surprise me that I haven't seen any fake "FFVII (beta5)" or whatever on PSX-branded CDRs. The discs are cheap and reasonably common, can be burned on a normal CD Writer, and there's no physical way of telling whether or not such an item is genuine - you'd have to go by what was written.
