Attached is a screenshot of a line of text that will appear after bootup only under weird circumstances that I can't pinpoint.

This is when trying to use the unpatched ROM in a flash cartridge. It will only appear when booting the game on a Sega Nomad, no other hardware or emulation setting I've found will replicate it.

Since the Nomad screen is shit, and it only appears for a few seconds, the resulting picture is garbage. Managed to snap it 3 times and paste them all together, just in case one is clearer than the other for certain parts.

After it shows this text for a few seconds, the screen returns to black and the game locks up.

Recently received one of the many Gameboy Advance clones on the market, this particular one supporting CPS1 & media files along with having a built in microSD slot.

Not that I expected anything great but I was definitely underwhelmed by it. I mainly wanted a GBASP shaped system with a nice screen to play my carts on, and while this one does have a really nice screen everything else is garbage. The cart slot might as well not even be there due to all the incompatibilities with real cartridges.

And believe me, I don't care what anyone says, if you can't see the frameskipping on not just one but every single damn game then you've never even played a real GBA.

From what I can gather all of these are just emulators run on the same chipset with varying degrees of internal memory and file format compatibilities based on the console's manufacturer. Am I wrong? Do all of these play like horseshit or is their a particular model that's actually good?

Ran across this cheat device which I did not know even existed.

As you can see it's similar to the older Gameshark/Action Replay models that required the dongle for them to work. Since PS1 codes weren't encoded they worked cross platform with most cheat devices, I wonder which type this actually supported?

I had no idea DVS produced anything other than SNES bootlegs. Has anyone else ran into anything they've made?

A long (like 10+ years) ago I was really into the game enhancer "scene" and used to find codes with a Pro Action Replay for various systems. I was a big BK fan, and started working on it. I found the two unused motorbike stages in the Japanese version and wrote a FAQ about it. A few years after that BK got a larger following and a lot of people started to pick apart the ROM images and find lots of useful info.

So a few years ago I started reading about a guy named Red Crimson who was making a director's cut of Bare Knuckle III / Streets of Rage 3. He was going to incorporate new artwork, moves, and so forth making the game more complete to its original concept. There was a small blurb about the version of the game he ended up working with was from a Chinese pirate of the Japanese ROM that was both translated into Chinese and added Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury as a playable character.

From everything I read the source of that game was glossed over, it was only elaborated that since the Chinese programmer(s) had taken the time to restructure the game code to allow for additional character information this was easier than working from a regular Japanese ROM.

Does anyone know anything about this? I know there's a chance that it only exists as a fan-made hack and not an actual pirated cartridge, but given the circumstances and the source it's coming from I figured it did likely come from an actual cartridge. I have never even seen the actual ROM image and only know if it's existence through the information about the Director's Cut origins.

Prices in US dollars, not including shipping. Tons of references available. I can ship anywhere. As an estimate, I can fit up to 6 Sega carts in a flat rate box, anywhere in the US for $5.20 and $15 international. Payment via cash/check/MO or Paypal gift. I can accept regular Paypal payments if the buyer agrees to cover the fees.

Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis
Some carts are in universal notched shells, others in Japanese style shells. All are loose carts unless noted. All of these are tested & working, but since some are designed for clone hardware they may require a Game Genie or similar device to work on a stock console. I can check this out on each individual cartridge if need be.

Edit...link to both games in dumps section of the forum

Hi guys;

Arrived today was Soul Edge VS Samurai Spirits for both SNES and Mega Drive. Since there's already some discussion about the Sega port (which basically boils down to one post on this forum out of all the internets) I figure I'd touch on the Super Nintendo port.

This is actually the rumored Samurai Spirits II port. Other than the title screen, it's a pretty straight up port of SSII for MD with an additional Soul Blade character added in (Seung Nina (sp?) and Cham Cham removed. Most of the music is either already used in unlicensed games or ported from the MD version, nothing ripped straight out of Final Fight 2 like KoF 2000 did. All the sound effects are ripped straight from Street Fighter II, just like X-Men VS Street Fighter, Street Fighter Alpha, and King of Fighters 2000. I also noticed the title screen song used by XMvsSF was in here as a regular background song.

The game uses the same jerky fighting engine that's been used in all the SNES fighters. My cart had an incredibly elementary done label from Dream House Games. And the title screen lists...... DVS Electronics.

I'll be dumping this as soon as I get a chance. I'll try and post some screenshots and stuff until then. If y'all need any more information about it just let me know.

At the risk of this spiraling out into an e-penis contest, I'd like to have a thread available for people to list the particular carts they own that are currently undumped or not available publicly. I know there's a lot of games I'd like to have more information about that barely exist beyond a blurry auction photo or a foreign language forum post.  

Perhaps those that have the equipment to dump could also post and offer their services. Even if you weren't interested in dumping your cartridge you could provide particular game details to those that are interested.

So fess up you stingy punks... who's holding out?
