Title: Old new dumps thread (don't use this anymore!)
Post by: taizou on February 15, 2011, 12:27:43 PM
we now have separate forums for new dumps! please post them in there instead.

Famicom/NES dumps (http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums/forum/3755874/)
Game Boy dumps (http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums/forum/3755878/)
Mega Drive/Genesis dumps (http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums/forum/3755883/)
Super Famicom/SNES dumps (http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums/forum/3755887/)
Other dumps (http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums/forum/3755890/)


just starting a thread to keep track of new ROM dumps released for any console.. they show up in obscure places sometimes, its easy to miss them. sometimes i only know a rom exists when someone posts a video of it on youtube. :D

a few sites that are generally worth looking, for people that don't already know about them:
cah4e3's stuff (http://cah4e3.shedevr.org.ru)
Kamming's Garden (http://hi.baidu.com/kamming)
maxzhou88 (http://hi.baidu.com/maxzhou88)
tszone (http://hi.baidu.com/tszone_fc)
feel free to recommend any additions to this list.

and heres a recent one i came across elsewhere, apparently released in january but i had no idea.
War in the Gulf - http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=44370 (http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=44370)
and heres tszone's most recent releases:
Naruto, Dragonball & Saint Seiya by Nanjing: http://hi.baidu.com/tszone_fc/blog/item/3b0f9b51d554cf9c8d5430f7.html (http://hi.baidu.com/tszone_fc/blog/item/3b0f9b51d554cf9c8d5430f7.html)
Jing Hua Yuan by Waixing:
http://hi.baidu.com/tszone_fc/blog/item/5da57bc2cea7fe26e4dd3baa.html (http://hi.baidu.com/tszone_fc/blog/item/5da57bc2cea7fe26e4dd3baa.html)
& also Sai Wai Qi Xia Chuan by Hengge Dianzi, but this one was only released on NESBBS - you need an account to download, and as far as i can tell you need an invite code from an existing member to join. so i dunno if its possible for anyone here to get it.

I have an account on that forum, but it doesn't let me access to the attachments... so I need a mirror on another server.

EDIT: Now I can download all the attachments on that forum. They finally approved my account and unlocked all of the forum features.

ANOTHER EDIT: Here is the link for the dump "Sai Er Qi Xia Zhuan" by Henggedianzi.

kamming just posted a compilation of non-GoodNES roms: http://hi.baidu.com/kamming/blog/item/b1819b8f49b0f3faf11f363c.html (http://hi.baidu.com/kamming/blog/item/b1819b8f49b0f3faf11f363c.html)
mostly already known stuff but theres one interesting thing i've never seen before, "shark shark by Maoshan", which is a port of the Intellivision game. its not the exact same port used on the Intellivision plug & play and subsequently turned into "Fish War" by Nice Code, but it seems like it might be an earlier version - its missing some of the sound effects from the released version, for example, but the ones it does have are identical. No idea who or what Maoshan is though.

No idea who or what Maoshan is though.[/quote]Presumably, that's either the bloke who dumped it or one of the people who did the port.

Another thing I find funny is that "Exerion 2 Cult Version" which seems to be the exact same thing as the Nintendoage release except their mark on the title screen was removed. For whatever reason though, it still says the game was made in 2009.

Edit: Not exactly important by any means, but that 50-in-1 has got to one of the laziest multis I've ever seen. Only 4 24Kb games and an incredibly plain menu. The only good thing about it is that the game names are spelled right.

http://www.mediafire.com/?n64ugrl6496ga6a (http://www.mediafire.com/?n64ugrl6496ga6a)[/quote]Interesting find. :thumb: Looking at the game itself, I notice a few things right away. The sound engine is taken from that company that did Super Contra X, Aladdin II and other such filth (the name is incredibly long and in Chinese), the font for the numbers is taken from Family Basic and the game itself is basically a poor man's Double Dragon. What's rather funny is that this seems to be the full version and not some cut-down one that you would expect to find on one of Waixing's Famiclones, as the ROM is 512Kb.

Edit: Out of interest, where did you find this ROM?

So assuming this was originally released by Waixing, perhaps this was one of their earlier games when they still had those people on staff?

I don't recall either company ever making a beat em up before though. I'm not sure about this being one of their earlier games, TBH. I think if it was, then we'd have known about it before looking into these POS Famiclones.

One thing I noticed is that the title screen graphics are drawn in a very similar style to the cutscenes in F22, which suggests that Waixing or Chengdu (whoever made this game, anyway) had some artists from Inventor. One thing I find odd is that the game has both upper and lower case letters for the fonts. As far as I can tell, the former is drawn from scratch and I recall seeing the lower case font in some of SNT's games.

Post by: taizou on March 26, 2011, 10:37:09 PM
nice find! where'd you get it?

yeah, the title screen does have that kind of "shoddily ported from somewhere else" look about it - not sure if that necessarily means an Inventor connection, but there could be one..

and its definitely an early Waixing game, they registered the copyright on it back in 96 97 actually they didn't at all, its on the title screen of the version in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rG4Nlyu5ZQ&feature=related) but its not actually in the database.. hmm.
(btw i kept forgetting how to find the chinese copyright database so i made a more memorable url for it at http://tinyurl.com/chinacop (http://tinyurl.com/chinacop) .. if anyone else was having the same problem, lol)

Also, regarding the title screen-- one of the first things I noticed when I saw screenshots of this game is that the title screen uses the simplified character for 'dragon', but the options screen and HUD use the traditional character.

Interestingly, the Chinese copyright database jumps directly from 970498 (Zhan Guo Qun Xiong Zhuan) to 970500 ("Mathematical Genius" - something to do with Sachen's Magic Mathematics, possibly?), skipping 970499 entirely.

The two surrounding games? They're both copyrighted by Waixing, of course, so that'd suggest 970499 was also Waixing.

The game itself is so bad, it feels like a noob programmer tried to remake the Yie Ar Kung-Fu fighting engine, failed miserably and randomly threw in some stuff from the Street Fighter games. (Street Fighter II and one of the Alpha games I think) And the music is cut down from Street Fighter II, not sure what the point is there.

You do mean the SNES version I got from you? (I have the MD version working, but it's just a title hack of '98.)

The *real* 2000 one for SNES I got from you has some copy protection that needs to be fixed before it will work. As soon as that's removed I'll put a link on here for it.

Post by: iniche on April 02, 2011, 11:30:45 AM
Ah, I see...

And the difference is that if you ripped them from the actual multicarts, it means you must have had to dump the ROM images of the multicarts first... THEN extract one of the games from the ROM image.

Whereas in the latter (which is the case), you extracted them directly from a ROM image dumped by someone else ;)

Hey, sorry to interrupt, but I would like to say that, a few days ago, a ROM of Pokémon Jade (hack of Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Speed Version) has been dumped, once and for all. You can find it in the first post in this topic:

http://s15.zetaboards.com/Tulunk_Village?topic=6985970/ (http://s15.zetaboards.com/Tulunk_Village?topic=6985970/)

It's in the form of a patch. You need to apply it to an unmodified (i.e. Japanese) Telefang Speed ROM. If that's too complicated... well just send me a PM. Or Google Lunar IPS.

I don't know if anyone here cares about the game, but I do. XD

Sorry to be off topic, but All these new dumps are awesome.. I really wish I had access to some pirated famicom games. Ive even done a russian translation of "Dendy 8 bit games" and other stuff and searched online Russian outlets, a lot of them seem to have multicarts for sale but the only ship to regions of the former USSR and stuff =/ Nothing to Australia or anything. Whats even more ridiculous is that the price is like, XXX Russian rubles which translates to like... 2 australian dollars. ARGH, It is such a tease!

Given what most of the other games on the cartridge are, I'm guessing this is yet another one of those Inventor hacks. Can't say I've played the original game so it's hard to comment on the changes other than the obvious. I'm guessing that the basketball game is a hack of Taito Basketball.

Also "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha". :P

well i think NT carts are pretty common in Russia, you might find some of the originals they published. or maybe something by Sugar Softec, or one of Hosenkan's originals.. but yeah, the majority will just be generic multis and single game pirates I guess.[/quote]Yeah, but at the prices they were asking (tiny amounts of money), Id be willing to go through a couple "dissappointing" multicarts to find one with unique and good games. I wouldnt expect high quality, just the whole 90's 8 bit gaming thing is my crazk addiction :P So it'd be no problem to get a few lame multis. At the very least Id have even more SMB back ups... xD

The same combination found in most of Nanjing's games.

But yeah, this is probably Inventor's work, given the other games on the multicart.

(And it shows the same lack of actual testing as in their hack of City Connection: All of the Pikachus have the same face, making it hard to distinguish which character is yours when two members of the same team are on screen.)

Oh, I forgot. I probably have the crappiest multicart EVER MADE.

Now, when you turn the Famicom the menu reads "999-in-1". How many games are on it? TWO. Yes, Duck Hunt and Mario Bros. with level hacks and different names. Duck Hunt is "Duck Hunt", "Two Duck Hunt", "Twin Birds", "Shooting Plate" and "Clay Shooting" and Marios Bros. is "Mario Bios" and "Boy And Animal".

Well, it says that it's phase 1 but it's actually the second one for some odd reason. Same rule applies to the later levels, meaning that you essentially have to get to level 32 to get to the real first level. (Or you could just use one of the level select things)

Fatal Fury
This one was from a pirate multicart I had, possibly different from the final US version. Has "May 1993" April 1993 on the title screen.
http://www.box.net/shared/aav2ie3lldnm2cv3in3t (http://www.box.net/shared/aav2ie3lldnm2cv3in3t)

Bare Knuckle III
Traded to me initially as a prototype. Later found out it was just a pirate, but may be different from the final retail release. Does not have any region protection in place, so works unpatched on any region console.

Looking at that Fatal Fury "pirate", ironically (given that the supposed Bare Knuckle III prototype is a pirate) it looks like a prototype to me. The Mega Drive port of Garou Densetsu was released in April 1993, and SNK were presumably producing Fatal Fury at the at the same time.

I know I preordered it and got it as soon as it was released, but there was no such thing as a day-1 launch for games during that time. I specifically remember it arriving sometime prior to June because school was still in session.

I guess if we could find a definite release date or maybe some other clear differences it would settle the question. Also notice it doesn't show the Sega logo at the start, yet it still has the "pause" as if it was displaying it (like most Sega pirates do). The ROM is overdumped, due to me being too lazy to trim it to the correct size. The cart itself used the same art as the US/HK version, and was a multicart along with.....

Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure
http://www.box.net/shared/59ggqcrj7h4zx3czgyme (http://www.box.net/shared/59ggqcrj7h4zx3czgyme)

Which was also released sometime in '93. This is also an undumped (but not necessarily different) pirate variant. Never played the original so I can't judge anything different offhand.

Mortal Kombat 6 28 People - Mega Drive
http://www.box.net/shared/1yrjegmsu6o9qg1mngdo (http://www.box.net/shared/1yrjegmsu6o9qg1mngdo)

Incredibly lazy job by Glorysun. Maybe their first?

Now this next one I did not dump but rather came across it a while ago on some obscure forum I can't remember. At the time I tried it and wrote it off as a YONG YONGty fan made hack. I guess I'm behind the times because this week I found out it is actually a legitimate pirate hack, I've came across multiple pictures of cart variations of it.

Mortal Kombat III (Hack) - SNES
http://www.box.net/shared/klbqbplfmtg6pi3zqonf (http://www.box.net/shared/klbqbplfmtg6pi3zqonf)

Now this isn't the actual MK3, but rather a hack of MKII with Shao Kahn and the 3 hidden characters playable, plus a strange FMV (!) intro that I don't really understand the reason for being there.

Post by: Awesome Panda on July 15, 2011, 01:38:11 PM
These hacks remind me a lot of Hummer Team's Famicom ports of the MK games, where the rereleases added lots of repeats for no apparent reason.

Also, call me crazy but I think the SNES one is actually a homebrew hack. Worth pointing out that every now and then, pirates release homebrews (for example, they released Sonic Megamix on cartridge without permission) so don't assume that just because it was released on a cart, it was made by pirates.

I put up an article for Pokemon Gold Silver but haven't put any links for the ROM up yet since the thing is screwy, keeps crashing. Apparently not completely fixed yet, and d4s doesn't want it to be shared, along with the rest until it's all fixed. Samurai Vs.

Not that it matters, considering that's just Raid on Bungeling Bay with a different logo. :rolleyes:

Just out of interest, how are you supposed to get the different DIP switch versions of the 12-in-1? I tried resetting the ROM loads of times and I couldn't access the rest of them. :huh:

Edit: Looking at it some more, the menu's PPU mostly consists of graphics from Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. Explains why they appear when you reset Bomb Helicopter. (On a real cart, that is) Also, the level theme in X-War just sounds awful, quite frankly.

Edit 2: What's the point of the multicart being 2MB when all 12 10 games fit into half of that? :rolleyes:
Title: Old new dumps thread (don't use this anymore!)
Post by: g0me3 on August 04, 2011, 07:28:26 AM
hmm, the second look I see there is no problem, all games are accessible by default at the beginning... But instead if you reset it 5-6 times, second half of games will be inaccessible... Fixed text info too, sorry ;)

only first 8K of data is from c&d, second half of CHR is mostly empty, only second copy of X-War game there exists, so probably another one version of that cart exists with single game dip cofiguration. there is a lot more interesting thing inside, for example, first half of CHR contains some programm and chr data for some Waixing game with copyrights... Probably it was a part of some OneBus cart...
ahh, false alarm ;) data is for menu actually, "waixing"-alike copyrights are for alpine skiing ;)

It's very common for FKC23 boards, a lot of unused space. Some of them fully loaded, some of them - don't. Some fully loaded with many of games, by selecting dip switch, sells as single game carts! you can buy it, resolder and obtain from 3 to 7 new games in one cart... I think it's just cheaper to produce whole 8M+8M bunch of carts and reprogramm them just partially, than using a shitload of memory configurations...

Those hacks came out around about 2001 (apart from the Rad Racer hack which came out in 1997, I think) and I don't think OneBus was around until about 2005. The multicart itself could have been made long afterwards, but the ROM works on a standard iNES mapper.

there, returned copyrights back...

there is also cheat at the copyrights screen. press ULDRBA, and after you beat any level, another copyright screen will appear.

"standart iNES" mapper asigned by chinese people not so long ago, previously i'm using it as UNIF mapper in my fceu, and that mapper and according board FK23C is most common generic famicom mapper out there... most of fancy menus with music and animation made on it...

I'm happy to finally play this cart (made by ABL, I suppose?). The Silkworm hack looks pretty bad but at least it's better than most of the other Inventor hacks. Pretty nice gesture from ABL to fix the Pooyan hack, giving it a name on real English and changing the music order. Also, in this version the bonus stage is played over the same background of level 2 instead of level 1 as in the original game.

I'm still wondering just what the relationship is, if any, between Shanghai Paradise and Inventor.
For no explicable reason whatsoever, Fred and Wilma Flintstone can be found at 0x7B010 and 0xFB010 in the 12-in-1 ROM. As far as I know, there's no Flintstones game there (unless it's one of the alternate DIPs that I can't seem to activate in FCEU).

Edit: Also, at 0x100010, Chip & Dale's title screen! No other CHR that I can find from that game.

What I don't get is why an ABL cartridge would have hacks by Inventor and Shanghai Paradise. Sort of implies that Cao was working there as well, or at least someone he was working with.

BTW, I could be wrong but wouldn't the way the ROM's built suggest that ABL also made the other FK multicarts? I recall one of those containing 3 later-gen games (shite fighting game pirates, but still) and some 1st gen stuff.

& it probably just means ABL had their cart made in the same factory. I could be wrong though. Might be related to Macro Winners somehow, it has a similar design to their "GameStar" carts.

here's a bit about Cao's games:
Quote:
 
Cao teacher's collection of her family still had handled more than 25,000 different game cards, most of which are combined or modified other people's games, there are a few original titles such as "Monkey King", "Jurassic hunt" and to commemorate Hong Kong in 1997 and the development of "1997 Hong Kong Beijing Rally." [/quote]
"modified other people's games", that sounds about right. I guess Jurassic Hunt is that Jurassic Park lightgun game with the Sunsoft sound engine.

"Ghost" is a translation of 人鬼情未了 which seems to be the Chinese name for Unchained Melody (as well as the movie "Ghost", hence the translation), judging from google. so i'm guessing that's a reference to the Unchained Melody multicarts..

The volumerates page (http://www.volumerates.com/product/gba-card-adapter-with-digimon-sapphire-99136~r.1312434294U10894) says they can get GBA games CIB if you contact them, i'm not sure if that applies for all games though. Even if they do have boxes I'm assuming theirs arent the original print run anyway, its like 8 years since the original release..

but since this one had no copy protection (or at least copy protection that didn't work), maybe i should try my luck with the Digimon Ruby they're selling too?

Post by: Barver on August 05, 2011, 11:18:22 PM
Yeah it's likely anything they can get is already since they don't seem to be originals but copies. It'd be cool to get other games, like Crash 4. I'll have to ask by showing them other wholesale sites that actually have IDs for each game, that probably will help prevent them from just putting up an unrelated regular Crash game.

The developers of FCEUX sometimes (about once a year I think) take the new mapper from CaH4e3 and add it to the FCEUX code... Your best hope would be to ask them if they could do it for the next update.

CaH4e3 already updated his version now to support that game with states and saving so you may as well use that instead of waiting for the official version to get to adding it. I had no idea the original creator/s still even paid attention to the thing.
