have you seen any screenshots of that one? the title screen of the one on Sky League looks a bit hacky to me, especially with the Pokemon stuff. maybe the Sky League one's just a hack of the other?- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: Barver on August 15, 2010, 11:31:01 PM- I don't know about what Sky League has, but I found out that they actually sell games on Taobao, and supposedly it's brand new boxed, so I went for it :P See for yourself.

The name isn't the same, that's all I can go off of. You do have a point though, the title screen calls it Pokemon and has a Charmander on the title, yet the actual game is Digimon. Maybe what they got really is just a hack of the V.Fame game. When(if, I ordered three days ago and still my order isn't being done) I get it in the mail I'll be sure to post what it actually is.
And it probably goes without saying, but I bet Digimon, and Taz if it really is a port from Genesis, are both based off the same engine Picachu and Pokemon Gold Silver are. WIth the Bonkers music too no doubt.- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: taizou on August 15, 2010, 11:47:25 PM- That looks like a GBC strategy game to me.. probably this one:

which sounds exactly like the intro of that Pokemon Sapphire I have, only with Digimon instead of Pokemon, and retranslated from Chinese into better English, so I guess its based on that engine (if not just a straight character swap)- Title: Obscure SNES pirates

- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: Barver on August 25, 2010, 08:45:21 PM- In case there's misunderstanding I don't own all of them, just the Hercules. All the pics came from that guy at Digital Press, which I think you posted the topic about on the RX Forum?
I got the Hercules from someone on another forum that lives in Brazil. Pretty much Brazil seems to be THE place for SNES pirates. In fact, I don't think you find them anywhere else. It leads me to believe that all SNES pirates likely were developed in Brazil and not Taiwan, since I've yet to ever come across a single SNES pirate on a Taiwan auction site or for sale from someone over there. Not to mention they always come in SNES shells, not SFC.- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: taizou on August 25, 2010, 09:46:13 PM- ah, I only recognised Digimon from that guy's threads. I dunno if he posted some later on that I missed. but yeah, the few I've seen seem to come from Brazil (or occasionally Mexico).
I think they were still probably developed in Taiwan though, but only sold in Brazil etc for some reason.. maybe that was just the only big market for pirate SNES games? I guess unlike the NES and Megadrive there were never that many cheap SNES clones, so the market for pirate carts wouldn't have been that big in most of the "traditional" pirate areas like Taiwan/China/Russia etc. but maybe Latin American countries had a cheapish supply of official SNESs from the US or something?
edit: though what is strange is that I definitely have seen pirate SFC carts of Japanese games, and a few multis, on Taiwanese auction sites... there must have been at least some market for SNES stuff there. so surely if the originals were developed in Taiwan they'd want to sell them locally too. hmm.- Title: Obscure SNES pirates

Hope that the last one may seem interesting for you guys.

Still wonder what the deal is with that, I tried contacting Mr Byte but he never responds back.

The II is much clearer, and it uses the same artwork that the original copy of Aladdin II for MD uses(don't have a pic of that but saw it for auction a year ago somewhere), so it seems more likley pirates ported that back to SNES. Pretty dumb =p- Title: Obscure SNES pirates

- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: taizou on July 09, 2011, 01:48:09 AM- well i just checked up on the artwork, it seems to be from the Mega Drive Aladdin 1 - this is the only cart I could find of MD Aladdin 2: http://goldenagegaming.com/megadrive/images/carts/aladdin_2.jpg (http://goldenagegaming.com/megadrive/images/carts/aladdin_2.jpg)
seems to use different art entirely, but i don't know where that came from (and of course theres always the possibility that cart isnt from the original run).
so i guess it could be a port of the MD original... or, yeah, maybe its just a deceptive label (i guess pirates might consider the MD game to be "Aladdin 1" and the SNES game to be "Aladdin 2")- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: Barver on July 09, 2011, 03:27:55 AM- I saw an Aladdin 2 cart that was the same as the official art for the first game on Genesis, only it had a "II" just like this SNES cart and had a gold rimming around the label. I assume it was likely the original version of it, could be wrong. Saved a pic of it but lost that in a hard drive reformat :/

- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: codeman38 on July 13, 2011, 10:24:17 PM- As a random aside, I find it interesting how rarely SNES pirates ever made their own music.
And also as a random aside, every single SNES pirate that I've ever seen steals either its music or its sound engine from Capcom. Aladdin, obviously, steals the music from Aladdin; the two Pokemon games steal music from Bonkers; and many of the fighting games have music stolen straight out of SF2. But even the ones that do have original music (e.g., Pokemon Stadium and Super Big 2) have a sound engine stolen from Super Pang.
Edited to add: Pirates have been using the Super Pang sound engine for a good while, too. "Gamars Puzzle", one of the first unlicensed things known for SNES (it's a 9-piece picture puzzle from the BIOS of a ROM dumper from 1994!), uses the samples from Super Pang at the very least.- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: taizou on July 13, 2011, 11:11:50 PM- I wonder if they had some kind of development tool in common then? Gamars published Taiwan 16 Mahjong 2 AFAIK (and some undumped Chinese Chess game) which also uses the Super Pang sound engine and seems very much like something developed by one of that whole Taichung set.
so maybe Gamars/Kaiser (also credited in Puzzle, I dunno if they're the same company or they just worked together) made a dev kit, with their presumably decent technical knowledge of the SNES, but didn't have the development talent to make much more than that Puzzle game with it.. then they hired some more experienced developer to make those two games for them, and said dev just kept the tools afterwards? i dunno, i'm totally just speculating here.- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: codeman38 on July 13, 2011, 11:35:08 PM- If I'm understanding this Chinese forum thread (http://www.5i01.com/topicdetail.php?f=280&t=1004382&r=3) correctly, Kaiser was the original manufacturer (they've been around since the NES days, and have released a fair amount of Famicom bootleg carts); then Gamars, which is a brand of some company called "Zi San", rebranded the unit. Or something like that, anyway.
Edit: This FamicomWorld thread (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=3835.0) shows an actual picture of the unit. Yep, that is definitely Kaiser's logo on it, in addition to the Gamars logo.
Edit #2: Even more puzzlingly, some versions of the unit have "GAMARS" text directly under the Kaiser logo. So yeah, either they're the same company, or else one bought the other...- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: Barver on July 13, 2011, 11:36:49 PM- Hercules has its own music I don't recognize from anything. I was gonna send it to Azathoth so he can dump it so maybe everyone can see for themselves soon enough. I don't know the original PSX game so have no idea if it's taken from there or not. Better than the Genesis soundtrack though IMO.

Post by: taizou on July 17, 2011, 05:00:56 PM- I guess its down to the popularity of clones more than anything else. Famiclones spread the 60 pin format all over the world, whereas 72 pin games were mostly restricted to countries that saw the official NES (plus Brazil).
but the SNES was rarely ever cloned - its only recently that a few handheld SNES's and multi-system clones have been produced in any great numbers. I guess official US SNESs made inroads into South America but the Euro SNES and Japanese Super Famicom never really took off in the ex USSR and Asia the way Famiclones did there. so most SNES pirates were produced for South America, with the odd SFC format multi or single cart made for Taiwan.- Title: Obscure SNES pirates
Post by: Awesome Panda on July 17, 2011, 05:07:51 PM- I see what you mean. I'm guessing that Steepler would've probably distributed the SNES (or a clone of it) in Russia had they not gone out of business in 1996. Out of interest, would a Super Famicom pirate work on a PAL SNES?

Post by: taizou on July 17, 2011, 05:21:59 PM- I think Steepler did distribute the SNES. but it didnt do so well because it was too expensive. Plus Steepler had an official contract with Nintendo for that one so they wouldnt have been selling pirate carts alongside it.
no idea if an SFC pirate would work on a PAL SNES though.. I dunno much about the SNES's lockout system, if its more down to the carts or the console or what.

There is a full nongoodsnes rom set wich includes two pirate versions of 101 dalmatians. One Says "101 DALMATAS (Peruvian Hack)", and the other says "101 Dalmatas (Unl)". The only problem is that you have to download the complete romset (1,6 GB aprox) to can have this two versions, if i have some time in my home, i'm going to try to download it, or if another good soul want's to download the romset and upload the two games i have no trouble at all ;) :lol:

Post by: Barver on July 23, 2011, 09:52:01 PM- Yeah, but as far as I was aware there was never a dump of that game publically. I assume the dump I got(which game directly from TEG) possibly was a ROM not dumped from cart, while the ones in that torrent might be from a cart someone bought. It's worth checking out since the ROM I got doesn't even work in any emulators, maybe those other two do?
If you've already started downloading the torrent I'd keep at it just to see. Sucks they make you download the whole 1.6gigs rather than separate files, but I guess that reduces the amount of people who don't seed. I hate it when they do that though :p- Title: Obscure SNES pirates

Post by: ThunderBlastMan on August 07, 2011, 11:56:24 PM- Yeah usally the SNES soundtracks sound better than the Sega Genesis. A good example could be Sparkster and Wayne's World Bohemian Rhapsody. It could either be a port of Squirrel King or mabey another game.

With the current SNES titles, they're likely ports of the MD version, and are rushjobs moreso than the original game they're porting. Keep in mind that these are bootleggers; many have used the Bonkers sound engine without even writing any new songs. They just use Bonker's soundtrack rather than making their own.
If this game is Squirrel King, it would be heaven for me. I love the idea of great developers like Gamtec being on other systems, even though that probably isn't the case here.- Title: Obscure SNES pirates

Post by: Rocman X on January 24, 2015, 04:30:09 PM- I now know that the SNES version of Hercules 2 exists, because I watched a Spanish video of it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vVgN4cBiqH0/ (http://youtube.com/watch?v=vVgN4cBiqH0/)
The music is based on the Megadrive version, and appears to be an original sound engine (a first?). But it sounds very poor compared to the Megadrive version. It's also worth noting that both games' music is from the PSX version (I've played it myself), but sometimes the music is incorrectly placed in the Megadrive version. I'll have to play it when it's dumped...

Post by: yacopu on January 24, 2015, 10:08:32 PM- Judging by what sounds like Street Fighter II sounds, it seems that the developers reused Capcom's sound engine.. much like in other games such as Pocket Monsters, and Pokemon Stadium. That video's a pretty neat find.
