Is there any way to get an estimated date these carts by comparing the artwork? Unlike the hand full of new SNES pirates that have been made recently and just use patched ROMs dumped by fans this is one of those few that only exist as "original" carts in the wild. What games are these Sub-Zero pics taken from (Deception? Deadly Alliance?) While there's a slim chance they took old carts and made new labels for them, it would be interesting to know that someone bothered to make a new run of these carts several years after they were originally released.[/quote]
Well, as unlikely as it seems, it's definitely the case that they took some old carts and made new labels for them. People have posted about this game since at least 2010 (when I first became aware of it), but the artwork comes from later games.
One of them is taken from the Sub-Zero render from MK9 (released in 2011):

The other is not a render at all, but some fan art made by sherawat:

Here's a link to the artist's page on deviantART. He uploaded it on May 30, 2013, by the way.

Just bought the cart you mentioned at the end of the video, guess I'm gonna be the second person with a known copy haha (didn't pay full price btw :P)[/quote]
Congratulations! I know you were looking for this for quite some time also (a few years I believe?) so I'm glad you finally got the chance to get ahold of it! You should let us know if there are any differences in the cart you get and the one I posted.
Sure, it should arrive pretty soon. I'll keep you all updated
btw the cart I got has that deviantART pic, interesting
Wow Finally!
And I do have a friend in Brazil that found Me Hercules SNES to be dumped.
It's finally here

Doesn't the cart look a little too clean?
Is there a way to find out if it's a repro cart or not?
I'll post some gameplay pics in a few minutes

Besides the label I don't see any differences between Tobmok99's cart and mine
I'd still like to know if there's a way to see if it's a repro cart or not if anyone can tell me
Anyone?
You would need to open up your cartridge and examine the insides, and compare it to the original.
Fortunately, someone over at SNES Freaks (http://forum.snesfreaks.com/viewtopic.php?t=14359) opened up one of the originals and posted pics of the internal organs:

Thanks alot Tabmok, I feel reassured
I'm really excited to finally own a legit copy. It's just weird how the label is stolen from that deviantART post

If you wanted to dump it yourself the cheapest alternative would be something like the Super UFO 8 that uses SD cards. A dump wouldn't work straight out in an emulator, you'd have to get someone to patch it....[/quote]Don't use that shit, it's total garbage. Get a Retrode 2 or Mash-Mods programmer.
It's already dumped
That's not my point.

It's already dumped[/quote]Are you sure about that? ROM link?
He's right; since my video was put online the ROM got dumped. I'm not sure if I can put links here, but, I will hint that you should check out the video and read the description. ;)
