Mega Drive/Genesis / Info on a few pirate hacks?
« on: May 06, 2011, 11:07:27 AM »
I don't think Truco Argentino can be a hack of anything, since Truco is a Argentine card game to start with.

It's curious: here in Argentina, everything Famicom and Mega Drive is 100% pirate... literally. However, the games are increasingly harder to find, since those systems are pretty old. Even like that, you can find pirate Famicoms almost everywhere. Now, if I just had the money... I can't believe I lost my Y2K 64-in-1 cartridge which for some reason included Ikki instead of the Donkey Kong Jr. hack which is on the dumped version of the cart XD Not saying it's a rarity... I just like Ikki.

Thanks, Cheetahmen!
PS: I love your British accent. I watched your review of the Famicom Yarou carts on YT today :p

I'm sorry for making this newbie question, but what game was originally "Caesar Captain"? It looks like a Sachen game, down to the music and everything. They might as well call it "Locksmith II"

Have you guys noted that the City Connection hack (Goodhand) is almost impossible to understand because the floor doesn't changes its color when you drive over it? This makes extremely difficult to know what parts you already painted.

Famicom/NES / More insight about the Game Stick
« on: April 09, 2011, 01:12:23 PM »
I saw the Game Stick article on your wiki. I wrote that for Wikipedia several years ago, when I got one of those for the first time. Just in case somebody cares, I thought I could give more information about these portable Famicoms:
- They come in several colors (yellow/blue, gray/blue and red/yellow).
- The name varies according to the country it is being sold. I know it's called 'Playervision' in Brazil, and that's even hinted in the 2 pages instruction booklet.
- The joystick itself has 'Players' written on it.
- The version sold in Argentina has the video output adapted to the PAL-N color system. The games, however, are NTSC. The conversion makes them run a little slower than the original (although this does not affect gameplay) and the video looks 'letterboxed'.
- Last year, I bought one of those for the last time (it broke a couple of months later, the manufacturing is REALLY cheap) and some of the games were changed. I don't recall the changes, though I saw that Circus Charlie was repeated like 2 or 3 times. The same goes for Crush Roller.
- The ROM included on the joystick was clearly made by the same people who made the "64-in-1 (No repeat)" multicart, as the title screen of both is the same. The 64-in-1 cart includes some games not included on the 76-in-1 loaded on the Game Stick, like City Connection and Ikki.

I'm sorry if this is not the right place to put this question, but I'm having issues emulating cah4e3's dumps. The exact problem is that I can't run any of these at all, even if I use his version of FCE on Sourceforge. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be welcome, thanks in advance.
