Here is my extract of DGUN-2573. Only includes games accessible from the menu.[/quote]Thanks. Just wondering, for Project BLEB compiling, is one format of these games preferable compared to the other (as in mapper 256 over 296)? And are the games with all the fancy extra features (Guard Radish, Cut Fruit, etc.) still VT03 or are they something else?

Edit 2: @forgotusername: Are you sure that The Hacker is not just a CHR bank within "Super Hero"?[/quote]No its in there too, directly below the Super Hero data. Oddly enough I was able to rip Hacker, but not Super Hero (I'm guessing it runs on a weird mapper).

Looking through the 220-in-1 in Tile Layer Pro, I found graphics for a handful of games not on the menu. From what I can make out there's:
* The Hacker (Felix the Cat 3 hack)
* Sunken Ship (Titanic hack)
* some Mahjong game, Nice Code-esqe graphics
Any possibility the game coding is buried in the ROM somewhere? Wouldn't be the first time - I found several games buried in a 30-in-1 multicart as well, when I first started Project Plug 'n Play.

UPDATE: Yep they're in there. Got Sunken Ship ripped already. Might be able to get Hacker out too using the same method (but probably not Mahjong).

There is a song in the ROM that I have not heard in any game. Apparently it is some sort of silly internet meme, but it is in the same outer bank as the menu. Maybe there is a way to make it play?[/quote]Utterly disgusting. Maybe that was supposed to go with the dancing foxes on that other multicart, and it just got carried over into this one?

Does the 200-in-1 (in the first post) have any unique games on it?[/quote]There's a new racing game called Racing Fighter. There are others but they're all boring - just a bunch of casino games like Video Poker, Blackjack, etc. and a couple title hacks/variations.

Pretty much, yeah. Basically, these games were hacked by the multicart author to replace the CNROM latch at $8000-$FFFF with the Middle CHR Bank number register at $201A, which only exists at that address on mapper 256.[/quote]
It's weird how bootleggers even bother doing crazy shit like this. I mean, there are plenty of other games to steal. No need to come up with some bizarre mechanism just to get 20 more...

Mapper 256 is used for OneBus multicarts. Because most of the games had to be modified to run on the OneBus hardware, the extracted games must retain the mapper 256 designation, as they still write to OneBus registers instead of whatever hardware they ran on when originally released as individual games. At least, that applies to normal NES games. As for Nice Code's games, since they were written for multicarts, you could say that mapper 256 is indeed what they usually run on.[/quote]Interesting. It seems like all of the mapper 3 games get turned into 256, looking at the games running on it. Meanwhile games running off of any other mapper are turned into 4.

What are the unique games in 638-in-1? is it in that multicart extract you provided, NewRisingSun2? Is an update to ProjectPlug'n'Play planned soon?[/quote]
I'll release an update eventually, I'm just waiting to see if the 220-in-1 games can be ripped first (I don't know how to rip VT03/09). Some of the unique ones off the top of my head are:

* the Football game mentioned earlier
* Dotey Cat - hack of Bubble Bobble 2 with Doraemon in place of Bub
* Squeezer - hack of World of Card Games by Sachen
* Conqueror - already dumped Circus Charlie hack, but this one has different music
* Shoot - pirate original, but its just a crappy math game
* some weirdo hack of Poke Tetris where Pikachu is turned into a monkey or something (yet its still called Pikachu on the title screen)

And plenty of others as well.

Here are two multicart extracts. Rockman 3 on the Rockman 1-6 multicart is actually interesting: it fixes an error in the original game, namely, the bad scanline on the level select screen. forgotusername wrote that he already extracted all unique games from the Family Pocket 638-in-1, but I wanted to extract possible variations of known games as well, so there.[/quote]Thanks. As it turns out most of the Nice Code games on here are the original, unmodified versions (meaning the copyrights weren't removed the bottom). Also this might be a stupid question, but is mapper 256 what these games usually run on? Or is that just a thing to make them work in emulators?

Weird thing I noticed on the 220-in-1 - the game "Super Tennis" plays more sound effects than it does on the actual handheld (usually its silent when hitting a ball). Also, the 472-in-1 has Kirby's Adventure on it, but my (now broken) version had some other game in its place. Kirby is the weird hacked version as well, where all of Kirby's graphics have angry eyebrows on them.

That's quite fast. What tools did you use? Did you analyse the menu code to find individual game sizes and starting points? Or did you skip every game that was already ripped from other multicarts?[/quote]Just the FCEUX editor. This one was easy because the graphics are viewable in Tile Layer Pro (usually they're compressed), so I could just copy-and-paste them instead of searching for them in the multicart. And yeah I skipped over duplicates, eventually I might go back and get the ones with different copyright screens and whatnot.

wait, what nes football game, do you know, where you have this from?  :huh:[/quote]
It's one I've never seen before - it's a hack of the Intellivision football game (American football, not soccer). I can give you the ROM, but like I said its broken.

Just adding that I've successfully ripped (to my knowledge) every unique game off the 638 in 1 (excluding an unsuccessful Foot Ball). Just saying it before someone else does it too.

So far I know at least the following unclassified chips exist, that may have some degree of Famicom compatibility:
 - VT09
 - VT16
 - VT18
 - VT32
 - VT33
 - VT368
 - VT369[/quote]VT09 is confirmed backwards-compatible with Famicom. Many VT09 consoles feature VT02 games as well. What's with the numbers, by the way? Is there a reason why they make no sense numerically?

You sure that 130-in-1 cartridge is working right? All the game names are wrong (one of which being a super-rare Bubble Bobble hack, which here just loads up Mario 9...)

Famicom/NES / Tengen Ms. Pac-Man Fixed ROM
« on: February 01, 2018, 02:38:13 PM »
This is a fixed ROM for Tengen's version of Ms. Pac-Man for NES. In most emulators, this game features broken graphics, with the scoreboard and some other garbage being duplicated onto the maze. This even happens on some actual consoles, like the Retron 5. This was SUPER easy to fix - all I had to do was copy the game's data into another ROM - so I have no idea why so many versions of the game are completely broken. Download is attached below.

@forgotusername: I can offer to extract all of the individual games, as I did before.[/quote]There's not really a point in doing so, as on these new dumps there's only two completely unique games to my knowledge (one is a bad hack of Tetris and the other an Assart variant). May as well not bother.

Here's TV Game 200-in-1, which davidstech converted for me. It sadly does not work in FCEUX. I wonder what it runs.[/quote]
Thanks. Oddly enough it worked perfectly in FCEUX for me. Got all the new ROMs extracted, which I'll post eventually.
