Old new dumps thread (don't use this anymore!)

[taizou]

we now have separate forums for new dumps! please post them in there instead.

Famicom/NES dumps
Game Boy dumps
Mega Drive/Genesis dumps
Super Famicom/SNES dumps
Other dumps


just starting a thread to keep track of new ROM dumps released for any console.. they show up in obscure places sometimes, its easy to miss them. sometimes i only know a rom exists when someone posts a video of it on youtube.

a few sites that are generally worth looking, for people that don't already know about them:
cah4e3's stuff
Kamming's Garden
maxzhou88
tszone
feel free to recommend any additions to this list.

and heres a recent one i came across elsewhere, apparently released in january but i had no idea.
War in the Gulf - http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=44370
and heres tszone's most recent releases:
Naruto, Dragonball & Saint Seiya by Nanjing: http://hi.baidu.com/tszone_fc/blog/item/3b0f9b51d554cf9c8d5430f7.html
Jing Hua Yuan by Waixing:
http://hi.baidu.com/tszone_fc/blog/item/5da57bc2cea7fe26e4dd3baa.html
& also Sai Wai Qi Xia Chuan by Hengge Dianzi, but this one was only released on NESBBS - you need an account to download, and as far as i can tell you need an invite code from an existing member to join. so i dunno if its possible for anyone here to get it.

But yeah, if you have it, i'd appreciate it.

I have an account on that forum, but it doesn't let me access to the attachments... so I need a mirror on another server.

EDIT: Now I can download all the attachments on that forum. They finally approved my account and unlocked all of the forum features.

ANOTHER EDIT: Here is the link for the dump "Sai Er Qi Xia Zhuan" by Henggedianzi.

Damnit, I've been beaten to linking... Then opinion on that game:
It's crap. It feels like NJ073... SERIOUSLY IT DOES. One track all the way through the game? HP-MP refill after all battles?

I couple of games I ripped from multicarts because I don't think they've been dumped in their original format:

kamming just posted a compilation of non-GoodNES roms: http://hi.baidu.com/kamming/blog/item/b1819b8f49b0f3faf11f363c.html
mostly already known stuff but theres one interesting thing i've never seen before, "shark shark by Maoshan", which is a port of the Intellivision game. its not the exact same port used on the Intellivision plug & play and subsequently turned into "Fish War" by Nice Code, but it seems like it might be an earlier version - its missing some of the sound effects from the released version, for example, but the ones it does have are identical. No idea who or what Maoshan is though.

Another thing I find funny is that "Exerion 2 Cult Version" which seems to be the exact same thing as the Nintendoage release except their mark on the title screen was removed. For whatever reason though, it still says the game was made in 2009.

Edit: Not exactly important by any means, but that 50-in-1 has got to one of the laziest multis I've ever seen. Only 4 24Kb games and an incredibly plain menu. The only good thing about it is that the game names are spelled right.

I found a new dump. It's Dragon Knife on the NES. Here's a link for the game:

http://www.mediafire.com/?n64ugrl6496ga6a[/quote]Interesting find. :thumb: Looking at the game itself, I notice a few things right away. The sound engine is taken from that company that did Super Contra X, Aladdin II and other such filth (the name is incredibly long and in Chinese), the font for the numbers is taken from Family Basic and the game itself is basically a poor man's Double Dragon. What's rather funny is that this seems to be the full version and not some cut-down one that you would expect to find on one of Waixing's Famiclones, as the ROM is 512Kb.

Edit: Out of interest, where did you find this ROM?

So assuming this was originally released by Waixing, perhaps this was one of their earlier games when they still had those people on staff?
