Played around with the boxed copy and the game makes you reset in order to load the next level, just like Taizou's copy. I haven't beaten it yet, but it looks like it's the same as his. I'll trek on and see if this has an ending.
As far as the dumping, I still want to get the GB Transferer, as it supports GB/GBC stuff (which I have a ton of) and I've been meaning to upgrade to a better computer. Might consider the DS option, but it won't do as much good for me.
