I have many PCB's that are either bootlegs or I can't identify. I ROMIDENT'ed all I could. These either were no match or I can't read 2708's right now. If you can identify or verify any, I would much appreciate it. Thanks much in advance. See the list with pictures here:

Nice pictures !

Popeye's a boot, it's just like this http://jrok.com/boots/blpop.jpg

"Unknown x." looks like it's a Gallag CPU board

The Tiger Heli. looks legit, check the EPROM labels A47 '14' if that's actually a MC68705 it's pretty much certainly legit. All the boots I have were missing it.

My best assumptions:

1) Arkanoid -- boot
2) Unknown ROM board -- looks like could fit on a Sega Moon-Cresta or Midway Galaxian given the spacing.
3) Meadows games -- (C) 1979 so most likely is Dead Eye, Gypsy Juggler or Warp Speed, but could be any of their games. Rare B+W games
...
Frogger - Yes, bootleg (Authentic has either Sega/Gremlin or Konami etched in copper with their part numbers on both boards) If booted likely says "FROG" instead of "Frogger" on title screen.
...
RocNRope -- Again bootleg, no Konami logoing or part numbers that I can see, and use of a small perpendicular sound amp instead of a 90 degree bent leg one with large heatsink.
 
Arkanoid Boot
Moon Cresta / Eagle / etc piggyback ROM board.
Meadows card cage board -- don't know anything about meadows.
Cinematronics... zzyzzyxx, brix, freeze, jack, treasure hunt are all the same board.
Most likely The Pit
Seen these piggybacks on poker boards.
No clue
Poker Board
No clue
Kramer Trivia Board
Tank
Could be a Challenger/Kaos ROM board
Challenger/Kaos video ram board
Looks like a driver board for redemption
No clue
Trivia board... got a few of these, minus ROM boards
Need to see the other side to know for sure, but labels look booty.
I assume cosmic attackers is some SI bootleg?
Poker board
No clue
May be a Challenger/KAOS CPU board WTf's up with the leafs?
No Clue
Poker Board
Another Brix/Zzyzzyxx/etc
Bootleg frogger -- could be lil' hustler
Eagle/Moon Cresta boot
Another Brix/Zzyzzyxx/etc
Gallag CPU
If it's got the ASIC, it's prob not a boot
Someone really needs to make a meadow game list... I know a warehouse with several, but I didn't look inside.
Another Gallag CPU
Route 16 -- missing daughterboard
8 liner
Poker board
Roc 'n' Rope bootleg
Warp Warp, not a boot.

MODERATOR Question: Calling all PCB ID slueths

I have many PCB's that are either bootlegs or I can't identify. I ROMIDENT'ed all I could. These either were no match or I can't read 2708's right now. If you can identify or verify any, I would much appreciate it. If you note a missing high res picture, let me know. Thanks much in advance. See the list with pictures here:

I could be having a brain freeze, but I swear I posted this in the "Technical - Videogames - General Repair And Help" forum. Did a mod move it? Don't you think it's more appropriate there, asking for tech help? I would think the techys would have a much better chance to identify PCB's than the general discussion forum.
