Alright, good to know. Guess it's nice to have another dump of this thing in any case.
Forum is back up, see post for details: http://bootleg.games/BGC_Forum/index.php?topic=3010.msg21813#msg21813
I did redump and confirm what I posted
Yeah, but at that point why bother porting the game to change one small title screen issue to then have to port it back…Alternatively, it makes sense to try to find the data of the start screen, turn it back on and then insert the graphics. But I'm not good at machine code.
Yeah, but at that point why bother porting the game to change one small title screen issue to then have to port it back…This is possible if you rewrite the registers to fit the standard NES mapper, and redo the graphics to the standard 2bpp format.I could have converted the title screen and the missing graphics from the original if the game had been converted to the standard NES format.What do you mean by "standard nes format"? You can't just convert a game from VT03 to NES.
The program code, sound engine, and so on in the game are still sharpened for NES hardware.

Oh you actually bought that one? Neat. Frankly my initial excitement of getting a Fire Bird has dwindled since we last talked about it but if I find an opportunity to get one then I certainly would consider it, lol.The link cable thing didn't work when I tried it on cart. Probably doesn't activate unless you plug something into the link cable port. Maybe it's for copying codes between devices
If you've gotten the opportunity to dump the ROM from the working unit, can you confirm if it's identical to the common ROM? I'd also be interested in seeing what that weird link cable option at the bottom of the main menu does on real hardware, as going by emulation of the ROM, it still has the menu cursor for some reason and pressing the A button shows a loading dialog with changing hex values, which probably isn't how it's supposed to work? I'm willing to be proven wrong though. :p
Edit: Translation software says its for updating the device
