Cave CV1000-D bootlegs a hoy

well so far there's a pretty steady flow at 1600 usd a few days after the current listings are gone. I'd recommend low baling them an offer still. lol

If W (seller) is reading this then get those 1000B conversions figured out please 🙂

I’d pay around $1k for a 1:1 Futari conversion
 
I doubt the seller is the brain behind the operation. He is likely taking advantage of the language barrier to flip what he finds elsewhere most likely local in China.

I'd start asking "conversion" sellers on AliExpress if they can get them. Dont link them to the eBay seller or mention prices. These are likely all coming from the same group of bootleggers.
 
The two boards I ordered directly from the seller, SDOJ and DFK Black Label, came today.

Interestingly, they shipped from Austin, TX in an Amazon box 🤔🤔🤔

As others mentioned, they work perfectly and are clearly freshly manufactured.

I have a legit CV1000D board so I'm happy to check them out physically for a comparison later, let me know if anyone has any questions.

Also, the seller sent me this re: CV1000B boards, so I think he is involved in manufacturing and not just getting them on resale in China:

"Hello, I want to quickly recover costs to make the B board, so if you have any friends who want it, I can sell it at the same price. Thank you and have a good weekend."

Doesn't sound like chips are that "limited" ,although I say that not knowing what his costs are to have run these.
 
Hello Team Cave 😁

Dfk 1.0 recovered yesterday.
It must be admitted that the PCB is almost identical to a CV-1000D
But we clearly recognize that it is a replica.

As for the game itself, I can tell you that it's going well, I've certainly never owned a DFK 1.0 so I can't compare with the real game, but frankly knowing version 1.5 very well I think that it is identical.

Honestly I'm going to get a DFK BL which I like less and which for me the price is outrageous (4/5000€).

If you want to test rare and expensive Cave games at a “fair” price, go for it before its converts disappear.
you never know with ebay…..

Out of curiousity, where did the package ship from?

Here are the differences between DFK 1.0 and 1.5 from the Shmups Wiki:
  • Auto-bomb does not exist in DFK 1.0, except when you are playing Power style and in Normal Mode (You will still die when you are in Boost).
  • You charge up Hyper way slower in DFK 1.0 compared to Ver1.5.
  • Lots of enemies' values have been changed in Ver1.5. For example, the laser cannons at the start of stage 5 -- in 1.0 they are worth 500000 points, but in 1.5, they are only worth 50000 points.
  • It's possible to counter-stop DFK 1.0 by simply learning to full-chain Stage 1-5 on the Ura route.
  • Bee items in DFK 1.0 will not refill your chain meter like in 1.5.
  • Power Style in 1.0 is quite underpowered compared to in 1.5 because in Boost Mode, your bullet canceling ability is terrible (even worse than Bomb style), and cancelled bullets will not increase your Hyper Gauge, practically making the style unplayable in the second loop.
  • Taisabachi/Golden Disaster doesn't have a lot of health in DFK 1.0 compared to 1.5.
  • Due to a design oversight, there are safespots during the Hibachi fight, which makes the fight much easier than intended.
  • Hibachi's final pattern in 1.0 is different than it is in 1.5.
 
Je connais les différences.
j’ai beaucoup joué à cette version sur Mame.

l’avoir dans la borne meme en conversion c’est juste très jouissif

Mod edit: please use English in forum posts. Use translator if needed.
