Bootleg Bazaar / some of my bootlegs
« on: July 08, 2013, 10:27:14 AM »
If you're looking to do trades or sales you would be better off posting in the Bootleg Bazaar instead.  Pirate Discussion's more for sharing info on companies/games.

Bootleg Bazaar / Interesting stuff for sale elsewhere

A big ol' sexy lot of Hacker games!  The catch?  It's $5,000 for the whole lot.  Time to take out a mortgage.

So...I beat Poker III, in a manner of speaking, and spent like four or so hours on it.  If you win against all four girls at Poker, the next time you enter those buildings it has glitched goal amounts and nonsensical payout (Straights: $17,000.  Three of a kind: $34,000) plus the screen starts flickering when you go above $200,000 in earnings.  Reach around $300,000 and the zipper cutscene plays, then the game hangs on a black screen.  And this was on real hardware, too.  With an official cart.  For over four hours.  Cue cackling like a loon.

Super Pikachu Land, Pokemon Diamond, and Pocket Monsters Go Go on Ebay, though it may seem a tad pricey to some.

1984-1992 / Are Sachens NTSC or PAL?

1.  If the games are all Famicom carts slapped into converters, would it even be possible to make it into a PAL version?  Is there any such thing as a PAL Famicom game?  

Even the countries that received the Sachen 72 pin games originally (some were PAL countries) had the habit of importing some NTSC NES games and just running them on their machines, albeit at a different rate.  This can basically be confirmed.

2.  Does anyone know for sure if ALL of these games are just Famicom games with adapters?  I only owned one of the NES versions, and that was a long time ago and I don't recall if I ever opened it or not...we are talking something like ten years ago!  Of course the Color Dreams games would be in NTSC format, just like the HES games would be in PAL.  But those were just published by those companies, sp I imagine they did whatever work necessary to make the games ready to publish in their countries.

[...]

Rather curious to hear more about Shazam's Little Red Hood PAL version, Sachen release.  Could be just the HES version (at some point, HES had been publishing their games in Sachen cases, and just made their own boxes) housed in a reprint box.[/quote]I've opened up my copy of Jurassic Boy 2, Huge Insect, Tasac, Q-Boy, and Jovial Race and all except Huge Insect were 60-pin boards with a converter; Huge Insect was a proper 72-pin board.

Sadly, my copy of Little Red Hood was sold off a week or so ago to get money for more interesting games (such as a sample cart of Magical Doropie I came across recently).  From what I remembered of it, it was all Sachen published.  The box, cart, manual, everything.  It did have one of those switches at the top (that say "Old, New, and Adaptor") which is part of the converter they used.

They might've used the HES version for their reprints seeing as (to my knowledge) it would be the latest revision.  It could've been half and half for all I know; the first batch were regular FC games they caniballized into NES carts, then the later reprints were the PAL HES version they stuffed into pre-existing boards after they used up all of their pre-existing stock of Famicom releases.  For example, my Famicom copy of Locksmith has a Little Red Hood label under it.

The guy I got Little Red Hood from was in the U.K., if that adds to anything at all.

1984-1992 / Are Sachens NTSC or PAL?
« on: July 05, 2013, 01:33:59 PM »
1. It depends.  I had a NES reprint Little Red Hood game that was PAL format and I have two FC ones that are NTSC.  They're normally NTSC I believe but some regions might've gotten PAL variants (they're kinda mixed in Asia) so that's totally possible.  Maybe the first-print NES stuff with their own boxes were released in surrounding Asia areas that had Chinese NES systems (I think China had the NES system...)
2. The Sachen published NES games ARE 60-pin boards in converters, as mentioned on the wiki.  I've popped my games open and that's what they are.  The ones published elsewhere like Color Dreams were proper 72-pin boards.
3. Many people from the states imported them, but it wasn't just them.  Several Europeans were importing them too.

Uh, pretty sure half these games corrupt themselves, especially when Makon's involved.  :P

Yeah, I also remember that Pokemon adventure was dumped. Does that mean someone somewhere got past the copy protection? And what about when it's on a multi cart? I remember taizou saying he had Pokemon diamond special pikachu edition on a multi cart, would that make any difference in dumping?[/quote]I dunno who dumped the Pokemon Adventure game or how, same goes for the other unlicensed games.  They might've been dumped by people long ago who stopped doing stuff for the community (or are in a different region from most of us).  And something being on a multi doesn't guarantee a dump; hence why Zook Hero Z, Digimon Pocket, and Soul Falchion from the V.Fame multis haven't seen a dump yet.  I wouldn't worry about Makon stuff so much when there's far more interesting (and better) games we could be working on dumping.

A: We can't dump them due to the protection on them.  Some people have tried dumping them but they've been having trouble.

B: You could hack it to take you to the other stages, assuming the other stages are stable enough programming-wise to run after the changes were made.

Does it matter that much?  It's a discontinued game that can only be gotten through bidding wars on sites like Ebay.  It'd be better to pirate it than have to play some non-developer over $100 for a copy (which I've mentioned before with Beggar Prince.)

Taobao's not bad, especially for Waixing and Shenzhen Nanjing stuff.  You need to search using the Chinese characters for the game and have to order with a Taobao agent unless you live in China.  The Bootleggames Wiki has some Chinese characters for many of the bootlegs on there.

It takes time for the games to show up on the site.  You have to keep watch and see if any pop up.  I've bought a bunch of games that have only shown up once or twice on Ebay.
