I don't know a great deal about this one, guess its an early (Famiclone-based-kinda) Jungletac system though.. could you post the game list by any chance?
[/quote]I can do better.

Post by: taizou on July 23, 2014, 06:12:46 PM- ah wow, thanks, very thorough! It looks like the earlier Jungletac stuff, which is kinda rare these days - some of these games do show up on their current consoles, but usually with the title screens hacked out and the music replaced.

Post by: Colonel Llama on July 23, 2014, 06:58:10 PM- Thanks for the info, Taizou! BTW, i'll record some game footage tomorrow.
- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Superjustinbros on August 01, 2014, 01:13:26 AM- Dunno if this is relevant, but I have a Jungletac console that I bought long ago in 2005 that had 50 games in it. Very much every one used the same old Konami sound chip. The only real memorable games it had were Elfland and Fire Fighter, but I do remember it having Ultra Doggy just like the Handy Max (although the title screen in the 50-in-1 was a bit more dull; there was no copyright info and the only setting on the menu was "Start"). The 50-in-1 also had Jewel Master, Move Fun and Space Castle, and they had the same abridged title screen as Ultra Doggy.
I noticed from the screens that Block Shock and Omega Zone are extensive hacks of Arkanoid and Galaga respectively; Heck I'm sure perhaps just like that "Scoring" game that was in the same multicart that had Super Shrek Bros; Block Shock has the exact same CHR data as Arkanoid does, so even if these were dumped and unplayable in an emulator for whatever reason, I could still access the CHR via YY-CHR as long as it's recognizable; and replace the CHR's of Arkanoid and Galaga with those of the Jungletac hacks.- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Colonel Llama on August 03, 2014, 02:39:27 PM- Thanks for the info. BTW, can you also change some of the sounds in the roms? I wanted to record some footage, but when i tried, there was no sound. I'll try to record using my iPod next time, but the quality will not be very good. The best i can do for now is to record the footage on a VHS tape.

Post by: casperdj777 on August 03, 2014, 08:20:25 PM- if I had the rom I could change the music & could record video & post it here
- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Colonel Llama on August 04, 2014, 09:12:13 AM- Good luck to change the music. It could be possible, but you'll have to change the original games' sound engine for konami's one.
I've just finished recording footage on VHS tape. Now to find a way to transfer it to my pc.- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Colonel Llama on August 26, 2014, 11:36:08 AM- Damn. I found an adapter to convert vhs to digital, but it's too expensive for me. Be patient, i'll post footage in the next minutes.
BTW, does cah4e3 still has his JungleTac bad dump? Maybe we could take a closer look at it.
Video footage leaked on Youtube!! (http://youtu.be/jQTUHj1cP-k)

Post by: taizou on August 27, 2014, 07:42:22 PM- ah cool! I can see why they don't use most of those games anymore, some of them are just straight-up hacks (albeit good ones).
Here's Cah4e3's dump of a 120 in 1 Jungletac handheld (he posted it on here a while back but the link is down):
https://mega.co.nz/#!1EQnADqR!6nvjCl-l5lbG0SnjUGY87Ijjtit3YbiYEDLrjcMcI88 (https://mega.co.nz/#!1EQnADqR!6nvjCl-l5lbG0SnjUGY87Ijjtit3YbiYEDLrjcMcI88)
AFAIK the dump is good, it's just that nothing emulates the custom video mode of their specific type of modified NES clone. Some games do run if you can manage to navigate your way through the menus though.
btw, if you're looking for a video capture solution, there are tons of cheap USB video capture devices out there for under $10, stuff like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB2-0-Video-TV-Tuner-DVD-Audio-Capture-Card-Converer-Adapter-for-Win7-8-Mac-OS-/191257374943?pt=US_Video_Capture_TV_Tuner_Cards&hash=item2c87d3f0df (http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB2-0-Video-TV-Tuner-DVD-Audio-Capture-Card-Converer-Adapter-for-Win7-8-Mac-OS-/191257374943?pt=US_Video_Capture_TV_Tuner_Cards&hash=item2c87d3f0df)
just search for "usb video capture" on ebay or amazon or similar.
you should be able to connect your VCR to it to capture your existing recordings (if it has composite or S-Video outputs) or just record directly from the console.- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: casperdj777 on August 27, 2014, 10:35:17 PM- what emulator do I use? can't get it working
- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: taizou on August 28, 2014, 03:15:12 PM- anything that supports the OneBus mapper will run it although you'll only see a black screen when its using the extended video mode (this includes the menu, so you have to navigate it blind). FCEUX and Cah4e3's version of FCE Ultra both support it for sure. Also EmuVT will run the .bin version which is a bit better because it'll at least display corrupted graphics instead of nothing.

Post by: Colonel Llama on August 28, 2014, 06:50:25 PM- I can't find EmuVT anywere, enven on the creator's site and every download link are down. Can you upload it for me?

Post by: codeman38 on August 28, 2014, 09:11:43 PM- Oh, hey, the music in Jump Car (2:15 in the video) is from Shenzhen Nanjing's Golden Sun and Shui Hu Shen Shou ports. (Which is, in turn, a cover of a tune from Majin Eiyuuden Wataru Gaiden, but the instrumentation in the original game is different.)
Still wondering exactly what the connection between Nanjing and Jungle was, because there was obviously something going on...
Edited to add: Yep, definitely sensing a Nanjing connection in there somewhere. The off-key version of the Zelda dungeon theme heard in Space Castle also shows up in some of Nanjing's older RPGs.- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1

Post by: Colonel Llama on June 02, 2015, 01:35:20 PM- No, it doesn't. BTW is there someone who can contact Cah4e3 so he could (maybe) dump that console?
- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: ssj on June 03, 2015, 03:51:53 AM- See here:
http://cah4e3.shedevr.org.ru/ (http://cah4e3.shedevr.org.ru/)
You have his email listed at the right. If that fails, I can also think of some MESS dumpers who could probably dump it as well.
Have no idea if anyone already seriously looked into emulating these though.
- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Colonel Llama on June 03, 2015, 12:56:30 PM- Thanks! I'll try to contact him soon.
- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Colonel Llama on August 13, 2016, 05:01:56 PM- I found another one at a flea market in Chicoutimi, if anyone is interested. Not sure if it's still there though.

Post by: Colonel Llama on January 29, 2021, 07:39:23 PM- Boy, it’s been a very long time since i’ve last came here.
Anyway, i recently got a capture card and am planning to stream the console live on Twitch on Sunday.
I’ll be posting details later tonight or tomorrow.
While the screenshots and video i posted all those years ago were useful in documenting it, i really feel like streaming it live while answering your questions is going to be even better. Also, it’ll be much better than filming the CRT with a phone camera!!- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Colonel Llama on January 30, 2021, 03:46:17 PM- Hi all, i’ll be streaming the JungleTac Handy Max 15-in1 on Sunday Jan. 31st at 5PM EST.
The stream will be at https://twitch.tv/colonel_llama
Please join me as we check it out again and feel free to ask any questions in the Twitch chat.- Title: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Colonel Llama on January 31, 2021, 04:53:33 PM- About to start
- Title: Re: Jungletac handy max 15-in-1
Post by: Colonel Llama on January 31, 2021, 06:07:04 PM- Stream is over. I've uploaded the footage at https://youtu.be/MBT7geV_Ti0
