In fact the lack of one often indicates a clone, since they don't have an original design to hide.
Um, actually you're quite wrong on that one. Have you ever taken one apart? The black stuff is a protective coating of epoxy covering a very thin naked silicone chip thats stuck to the board. If you have one of the early dstt's (the ones with glob dot chips) chip off the epoxy and take a look. If you don't want to ruin a dstt, just google it.

thanks for the very useful and helpful info... does your save files get corrupted or erased for some unknown reason?
I don't know how flash carts do it, I'm speaking in general. It was an issue with PS3 jailbreak dongle clones, too.revron said:Rydian said:Er, you do know the black glob is to hide the markings on the chip to keep it from being identified to slow down the progress of clone products, right?
