Game Boy / Re: New tool to create, modify and remove GBX footers
« on: December 12, 2021, 10:13:22 PM »
This looks cool. I'll probably use this for any new ROMs I upload

77
That might make it difficult to rip ROMs off of a multicart. I don't think that usd devices that add a parallel port to a computer work with most ROM dumping devices, and most devices that don't hook the gameboy directly up to the computer just wind up ripping the multicart menu. I do not know of a ROM of a pokemon game with a PIS watch in it, though i have not gone looking for one. Are the pokemon hacks in chinese or english?

78
What does PIS watch mean? Also, do you have a computer with a parallel port? If you plan to dump games off of a multicart, then you'd need to be able to rip them with something like gblinkdl (which Taizou mentioned here, which only works with (I want to say 25 pin) parallel ports

Game Boy / English Monster Go Go Go box discrepancy
« on: December 03, 2021, 02:54:20 PM »
So I was browsing eBay and I noticed someone selling a CIB copy of the English release of Monster Go Go Go. It was pretty expensive, but had cool pictures. Based on their pictures it is the actual game has no differences from the original Taiwanese release, but interestingly the box shows pictures of Monster Go Go II instead of the first game. Does anyone here know if the manual shows the correct game? I'll include the pictures I saved from the listing. Here's a link to the listing if you want to see it. The way the box and cart looks makes me wonder if it was released by the same people who released the original New GB Color cart

Also, I think it is named after this, but I didn't put that on the wiki because I never confirmed that

Here's the ROM which I got from one of those MAME archives (they also have magic lamp). To play it use Taizou's hhugboy and turn off using the bootstrap ROM because that makes it not work. Then use the unlicensed compatibility mode for Pokemon Diamond/Jade. The game is pretty similar to Tetris, I wrote up a description of it on the wiki. It's probably the oldest unlicensed gameboy game, though maybe Sachen made one earlier. As far as it being bland, I would say that it is more of just simple than anything. Most unlicensed GB stuff made in the early 90s was not very complex, though a lot of them had their own little charm

@jo19sh92
Final Bout is a hack of the bootleg KOF R2, which appears to be a hack of Kettō Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Senshi Saikyō Ketteisen by Takara. I say this because save states from Beast Wars are sometimes compatible with the KOF R2 bootlegs depending on what point in the game you make them

@rari There were also video clips (I assume trailers) for some of Gowin's games, but those also were not archived. Also, that art page appears to credit the artists and even links one of their websites

84
@rari
Yes, that would make sense. By the way, did you know that Gowin released updated versions of their games? I tried ripping the ROM for binary monster 1 from three carts, and got three different ROMs. My guess is that they were trying to make updates that let them skirt around Nintendo's changing anti-unlicensed game tricks. Also, looking at Gowin's website again I noticed that some of the pictures on the art page have characters I don't recognize. I have not played Dinosaur Genesis, and haven't beaten Stone Age, so I guess I can't say for certain they were not from those games. They look like they have a different art style from that of Stone Age, and one of the characters has the text GBA on their clothes

There is a picture on this webpage showing a copy of GS-10 with a circuit board that has the copyright year 1999 on it. This would suggest that there was a print run of this game earlier than documented on their website

86
It would be difficult to even say what a prototype would look like for this sort of thing. If I had to guess, I would say it would probably be on a commercially available flashcart since those were frequently used as dev kits. I know that a couple of prototype Sintax gba games got leaked a long time ago, but have no idea how they got leaked. An alternative possibility is that GS-14 is not a game, but instead some other product that Gowin released. I know for a fact that they had some sort of rewards program, and had unadvertised products during the early 2000s, such as this game case, so maybe they made a cheat card or something

87
@rari So GS-14 would be a canceled game in that case? That makes sense. Based off of what I know about unlicensed gameboy developers, a lot of them would reuse assets from their earlier games. Maybe some assets from GS-14 made it into other Gowin games that did get released

88
I have seen that page before. My thoughts were that GS-02 to GS-10 (excluding GS-09) had multiple versions released throughout Gowin's history, and that the website only displayed the most recent versions of the games released. GS-09 and GS-10 both play very similar to monochrome games, those being Prince Yeh Rude and Story of Lasama. Just by the way the gameplay of Gowin games evolved makes the idea that GS-09 was made after GS-13 seem strange. Also, do you know when Gowin's multicarts were released? They had advertisements for them in the Wolf Weekly gaming magazine in Taiwan, but finding images of these is difficult, and they are expensive to import. If I had to guess what Gowin released during 1999 (if anything) it would be those

89
I was the one asking about this earlier. Thank you for making this. I've always thought that animation-wise Gowin had the nicest looking unlicensed gameboy games, but unfortunately even video footage can be hard to find for some of them. Interestingly GS-13 GS-15 and GS-16 were all beat 'em up games, which makes me suspect that GS-14 was also a beat 'em up game (assuming it exists)
