Game Boy dumps / Re: Ankos' Games
« on: November 12, 2022, 03:01:32 AM »
This one isn't something I dumped but instead a modification I made of someone else's ROM. A while ago a user on here called Robyn posted a video where she used a ROM corrupter to cause CBA089 (a Li Cheng rerelease of a weird version of Devil Land by Vast Fame that Kongfeng put out) to boot in English. What seems to have happened was that the game's ROM contained both the English and Chinese versions of the game and the ROM corrupter flipped the switch to make it boot in English. Unfortunately using the ROM corrupter introduced other changes to the game making it mostly unplayable. Eventually I figured out where the switch for the language is in the game, so i flipped that without tampering with anything else and got the English version to work without introducing the problems the corrupter introduced. Here is the ROM for that. Credit goes to taizou who dumped this game originally and Robyn who noticed that this was even possible to begin with. I used the fixed version of the game taizou posted on his website, hhug.me

Here's four more quick ones. These are Kongfeng releases of Makon titles. These have no copy protection so that's cool. It is worth noting that these may have variation from the original Ka Sheng releases of these in terms of gameplay. Some of these may be dumped elsewhere. I'm never 100% sure I'm the first to preserve anything. Anyways here are the Kongfeng releases of Digimon 02 4, Digimon 02 5, Digimon Crystal 3, and Digimon Diamond. Kongfeng only did Chinese releases so instead of ending the file names with ENG or CN I decided to end them with KF. Kongfeng sometimes released multiple versions of a game but I'm not sure if they did this with Makon titles

Here's some stuff I ripped from Ka Sheng (Makon's primary publisher) carts. The English versions of games I am posting now include Pokemon Pearl, and Pokemon Gold 2. Pokemon Gold 2 I extracted from a multicart with the ID code UA2088.

Another game I ripped off of that multi is the Pokemon Gold translation that credits Pikachu INC. A while ago I ripped this same game from a JY cart but I trimmed that one wrong because I was inexperienced, so if you have a ROM for this that is slightly larger than the one I am posting here, then you should probably get rid of it.

The Chinese versions of games I am posting now include Pokemon Jade, Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Ruby, Pokemon Sapphire, and Digimon Pocket. Digimon Pocket I extracted from a multicart with the ID CA64061.

I am also including the English version of Digimon Crystal 3 which I extracted from a friend's multicart. That game is oddly larger than Makon's other games

Edit: I should probably clarify that the Pokemon Gold translation is not by Makon Soft. I just included it here because it was released by the same publisher

So a while back I had a thread of this same name going where I would post ROMs for games and ROM hacks made in China and Taiwan. I took down that thread because early on I was not super knowledgeable about checking them and had some concerns that they might not work right. Some of those I think got reuploaded elsewhere but I am going to be posting what I've got here. These will be raw dumps so you might need a specific emulator to make them work. To start things off, here is seven Sintax games. These include a couple of reskins of their Castlevania title (口袋妖怪绿宝石 and 魔戒战士传说), a couple of German versions of Sintax games that are already preserved (2003 Digital Drachen Blaudiamond and Yinyang Drachen), a Sintax game that is already preserved but with a different title screen (Digit Dinosaur 7 The adventure of devildom), a reskin of BBD's Digimon Adventure 2001 (新石器时代), and a reskin of Zook Hero 3 that kept things like the level select in tact (新疯狂啊给泡泡堂)

Nice. It's a bit strange that the protective case doesn't say Taike Boy on it

Other Pirates / Sachen's Less Documented Mega Duck Titles
« on: September 04, 2022, 11:39:03 PM »
Not really bootleg games, but most users here have somewhat of an interest in Sachen, so I figured I'd post this. The Mega Duck is sort of infamous for having a really small game library. On wikipedia the library shown appears to be the Brick Wall by Timlex, and a whole bunch of Sachen games that all got released on the DMG and GBC Gameboys. However I was going through some scans saved on Rami's blog and noticed that there was a Sachen flyer that had games not mentioned on wikipedia. I then did a google search and got no English results on these games, so they appear to be fairly obscure. I saw a different site that had a list that included them, as well as a few other titles I did not recognize. Under the IDs columns only Hartung IDs were shown, suggesting that these might not have been released outside of Germany. Has anyone here seen these?

Famicom/NES / Re: Prototype games on vintage multicart?
« on: July 14, 2022, 09:44:59 PM »
I've never seen that before, though I don't really collect famicom stuff. Here is a Xianyu listing for it if you are looking to get a copy. I don't see anything interesting on the games list on the back though
Edit: The sticker for the one I linked shows different games. I guess it was made by the same company

Game Boy dumps / Re: Pokemon Chikorita ROM

That post is down now. I'm not sure if it was even a good dump. There is at least one nongoodgbx set I've seen that added it, and I think someone reposted it in the BGC discord if you want to check there. I'm not posting non-working dumps anymore though (not that I have that one saved on my computer at the moment)

I think I've seen some other games that were released in packaging that looked like that. If I remember right one of them was Digimon Crystal II by Sintax

Thank you. Most of Waixing's games were made by Hitek, who used the header name from Harvest Moon 2 for all of their games

Game Boy / Re: [GBC]Have these been dumped yet?
« on: December 19, 2021, 07:26:52 PM »
To my knowledge almost all the types of copy protection used by bootleg/unlicensed gameboy developers would stop a ROM from running on a flashcart. Try running some raw dumps from hhug on your flashcart, they usually don’t work in my experience. You might have an ok dump, but I don’t think that can be confirmed without someone cracking the copy protection.

Game Boy / A Correction on some KOF R2 Misinfo I posted a Long Time Ago
« on: December 18, 2021, 08:42:33 PM »
A while back I made the claim that the King of Fighters R2 Engine was based off of the Beast Wars game by Takara because it seemed like games using that engine had some compatibility with Beast Wars in terms of save states. Specifically it was a raw dump of Dragon Ball Final Bout using BBD unlicensed copy protection mode in hhugboy that I did this testing on. Here is a save state I had made in Beast Wars that made me think this, this is a save the screen that appears before a fight in Beast Wars, which when loaded in Final Bout would cause a corrupted looking fight sequence to begin (which would then crash after the timer ticked down a bit). I no longer feel confident enough in these findings to keep that assertion on the wiki that KOF R2 uses Beast Wars engine, which is why I removed that from the wiki, but I figured I may as well post why I thought this to begin with. I'll include my save states, as well as the Final Bout ROM I used when testing this out. Sorry for jumping the gun on that one, my bad

They do not work in emulators, so I am not sure if these are good dumps. I think I ripped these off the multicart with the English versions of these games

BootlegGames Wiki / Re: Sintax page (help)

It looks like your edits were undone by Carloscreate100. Maybe he thought that the pages for those games were not finished enough to have links for. I'd recommend asking him, he has links to his socials on his wiki page
