Updated my collection of bootleg fighting games once again to include the rev2 versions + Dragon Ball: Final Bout (which appears to be a hack of one of the KOF bootlegs). Also just added the "School Fighter" game and its IPS patch to remove the Anti-Piracy stuff.

Still looking for solo-RIPS of Hummer Team's mascot fighting games that appeared on ZDog(?) I think, and a few other multicarts.

Found this thread after watching the video coverage from St1ka on Youtube. Any chance there's a place to find these nowadays?

I have them saved. Just a heads up: these are deprotection hacks of these games, I cannot guarantee they will play 100% identical to an actual cart. There are multiple versions of the Binary Monster 3 School Fighter deprotection hack floating around, and I do not remember which one this is. I remember hearing reports of it having issues with the password system that don't happen on cart. As for Final Bout, some of the graphics get messed up depending on what emulator you use. It seems to look most correct on VBA in my experience

You're welcome

I don't suppose you've ever heard of "Pocket Monster Pedigree Cards"
Note: Picture not mine, I just nabbed it off google images

Three more today. SL-006 is the SL version of the Three Kingdoms RPG by Vast Fame. It uses SL copy protection, so adjust your emulator settings for that if you want to run it. It seems unchanged on the surface, but it has a different boot logo than normal. The other two are language variants of already dumped Sintax games. Ice Age II is a Klonoa clone, and Pokemon Ruby is an SRPG

A company with an unknown name (often called NGCA because they sold English-language releases of Vast Fame games with the text "New Game Color Advance" on the box) sold a massive number of games and also put black stamps on their PCBs, so it's probably them

Oh. Taizou (the person who runs hhug.me) posted how the ID system works for UC multis in the discord. So your multi's ID is "UC-100M01".

The 100 refers to the claimed game count. The M refers to the ROM size (so any multi of theirs with an M after the game count is going to be quite big) and the 01 after the M refers to this multi's number in relation to the others that were released. So it is the first 100 in 1 multi with this ROM size the company made

This is quite interesting. This is Japanese version of Pokemon Gold, not the US/European version BTW.

Oh, so this might be a pre-release translation by whoever pirated this. Was this even a thing back then? - to translate a game for a different region where it hasn't officially been released yet to better sell ones pirated work? Thanks for the info though!

Yes, that was a practice. It happened with quite a few Pokemon titles. I've seen it with Pokemon Green, Pokemon Gold, Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon Fire Red, Pokemon Sapphire, and Pokemon Emerald. There were also fan translations people tried to squeeze out before the official one, and some of those wound up on pirate carts as well
