Police Vs Thief, Space Base, Climbing, and a few others now come with a 2-player mode. Up for a netplay, anyone?
[/quote]Just tell me how and when. Seriously.
Oh, and Bicycle Race is a hack of F-1 Race. Strange they included a hack of an old NES game instead of an original. They probably couldn't distinguish between original games and hacks.- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1

Also, not to criticise Nice Code's work but if you can't tell the difference between one of their games and a real Famicom game, then you're probably blind. :rolleyes:- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: taizou on October 08, 2011, 06:31:33 PM- Well I dunno about blind. Maybe if you were deaf and you had no hands. Nice Code games usually have decent enough graphics - it was founded by an artist after all - just crap music and gameplay (some of their later ones for the VT03 are alright, but I suspect no one will believe me on that count until theyre dumped).

(chances are they were too lazy to erase the original title tiles, so maybe someone here can hack them in.) Also, I would kind of like to see Dringle and Hurry Burry, but those are already dumped.- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: taizou on October 09, 2011, 12:14:10 PM- I'd say chances are they just overwrote the original tiles with the new title, so there won't be any trace of it in there.. But the original should be dumped from my Power Joy cart soon enough anyway :D (although possibly somewhat delayed because I'm an idiot and I put the wrong postcode on the package... ahem)

Post by: Linkrulezall on November 05, 2011, 08:01:27 PM- Bad news and Good news, in the form of this email from CaH4e3:
dumped that tsop48 packaged chip famiclone, unfortunately, it seems
using some custom PPU data wiring or format, so it couldn't display
correct graphics even on the EmuVT emulator, it is possible to get it
working with no graphics, but this is not so helpful ;( will dump
another one as soon as find out how to desolder and connect to eprom
reader easily ;)
I believe he was referring to the Games Xplosion as the tsop48 packaged chip famiclone.- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: Linkrulezall on January 19, 2012, 05:56:06 PM- After much headache, and having to e-mail this to a few people, here's the link (http://www.mediafire.com/?s0atfdlxlm81rtj) to the Games Xplosion ROM with defective graphics. CaH4e3 also mentioned something about running UNIF on his latest FCEU build would get a few of the games working.
P.S. Sorry about the bump :pandaaway:- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: codeman38 on January 19, 2012, 08:47:44 PM- Graphics in the Games Xplosion look like the bits are scrambled around - they've been reordered from 76543210 to 75310246.
Will have to look to see just how the CHR and PRG have been combined, because of course doing the same swap to the PRG will produce unrunnable code...
Edit: Here's a Python program to do the bit-swapping. (http://snipt.net/codeman38/reorder-bits-in-garbled-chr-rom?key=e318ce3fea8d0e6a8fcc1812c2f2084f) Have fun.- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1

Post by: taizou on January 20, 2012, 01:33:59 PM- you need to install Python, save the script as a .py file and you can just drag the rom onto it to swap the byte order. Though even if you replaced all the graphics, most games seem to start up with either the wrong PRG, the wrong CHR or both... only a few load both correctly (Aether Captor is one I think)

Post by: taizou on January 20, 2012, 02:59:33 PM- I guess the ROM is duplicated in the other one to make it work in fceu. if you actually look at the prg and chr files they're the same.

Post by: codeman38 on January 20, 2012, 08:21:53 PM- Yeah, sorry about not actually including the converted file yesterday-- I should've just uploaded that and posted it along with the conversion script. My excuse is that I've been busy with my actual day job and upcoming move to another state...and tired as a result.
Anyway, here's the fixed .chr, for anyone who doesn't want to bother to install Python. http://fyels.com/6nz (http://fyels.com/6nz)- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: Linkrulezall on January 20, 2012, 08:28:21 PM- The python script doesn't seem to work for me, and I did exactly what Taizou said.

Post by: Awesome Panda on January 20, 2012, 08:41:05 PM- Looking at the menu graphics, there's apparently an unused intro screen with a logo I can't make out and a message which I think says "Trifles make perfection". O_o
- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: taizou on January 20, 2012, 10:01:57 PM- yeah, its the logo of Defender, a Russian company: http://www.eng.defender-global.com/products/game/electronics/ (http://www.eng.defender-global.com/products/game/electronics/)
I guess at some point they either distributed or planned to distribute this thing, and the logo is left over from their version.- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: codeman38 on January 21, 2012, 12:57:18 AM- Good catch on Defender. I noticed that logo as well, but couldn't puzzle out how to arrange the tiles to make something intelligible. (Should've gone with my guess based on bits and pieces of the logo that I could make out...)

Also, I bet there's a way to make that screen accessible through savestate hacking and the DreamGEAR 75 in 1, but FCEU's save state function seems to be buggered. >_<- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1

Post by: Linkrulezall on February 18, 2012, 11:02:06 AM- Right, so now that Taizou has got Sky Zone ripped, there's only a few other games in the Games Xplosion that are worth ripping. By any chance, could someone rip:
-Fairy
-Interstellar
-Difference Picture
-Corsair
-Gem Game
-Pounce
-Beach Ball
-Ice Cap
-Dune War
-Eggs
-Cowpoke
-Mice Mission
-Bomb Time
-Indreak
These are the only games on this whole mess that are even REMOTELY worth ripping, IMO.- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: taizou on February 18, 2012, 12:55:17 PM- I already ripped Mice Mission and some other stuff, see the "Games Xplosion" folder here: http://www.mediafire.com/?26afll20iwznk (http://www.mediafire.com/?26afll20iwznk)

Post by: RVVD4029 on February 19, 2015, 11:39:55 AM- I would like to make a quick note. The games will start up. However they either load a nice code game that has been dumped already. Or the correct games will load up but will show graphics. The graphics are either from another game or they are for the same game. However the graphics won't unscramble properly. The games will start up on the lastest version of fceux only.
Also the coolboy 400 in 1 console has title screen hacks of some of the games from the games xplosion already. Meanwhile the superarcade 110 in 1 i think also includes games from the same console.- Title: Games Xplosion 121-in-1 and DreamGear 101-in-1
Post by: RVVD4029 on May 21, 2015, 03:43:17 PM- Awesome panda i know it is not related but the sports game 69 in 1 contains unused graphics for it's menu screen.
Ninja kun i think the reason why they included a hack of f1 race is because they have a graphics hack of it on vt06 consoles only.
