C&E aren't really pirates in the traditional sense(stealing other companies creations and making their own game etc..), they're more on par with the likes of Color Dreams or Camerica on the NES, as in they made original games without a license.
There's no dump of the English Beggar Prince ROM yet, who knows if there ever will be. But you can check out the Chinese version by searching for "xin qi gai wang zi rom" or something like that.[/quote]Thanks!- Title: Bao Xiao San Guo

Barver told me that this game was indeed by C&E. I checked (having found it before finding this thread; see below): it does indeed use C&E's sound driver... and that's about the only thing it has in common with other C&E games. It sounds like whoever wrote this game wrote it in assembly language while all the other MD games were written by someone else presumably in C (though I'm not entirely sure on that)... To me, it also feels somewhat unpolished in comparison to the other ones.
Now assuming Barver is right, these (since I found two others in nongoodgen, "funny of three kingdoms" and "game to chinese 2") are not dumps of the original, since they take pains to make sure they're always credited =P Neither are our Xin Qi Gai Wang Zi dumps...- Title: Bao Xiao San Guo
Post by: taizou on August 21, 2011, 09:27:04 AM- I'm sure I recall Death Adder of Super Fighter Team saying somewhere that the copyright in Xin Qi Gai Wang Zi was removed by C&E at the request of the publisher, so that really *is* the original version. I'll drop him an email about this game, he might know something about it..
Got a reply:
- Quote:
This game is most certainly -not- a product of C&E. Due in large part to the grey area status (and lack of enforcement) of copyright in Taiwan, it's very common in their video game market for resources to be "borrowed" from many different sources, without permission. C&E's sound driver was purloined for use in this particular game, and that's where the similarities end.
As neither myself nor our company has any interest in this game, I've not done any research into its origins.[/quote]- Title: Bao Xiao San Guo
