Some bootlegs of dec0.cpp games also have a 68705 (the same model, even) on the second of their bizarrely oversized PCBs, but others with those same PCBs leave the positions for it and a few apparently associated flip-flop ICs unpopulated. What this MCU actually does there is still unclear. The same bootleg board also allows the 6295 used for ADPCM in the DECO originals to be replaced with a 5205 plus a hefty amount of glue logic.
