Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: taizou on September 24, 2012, 08:04:16 PM
okay, this is now a thread for any and all new dumps I post on Handheld Underground (http://hhug.me)!

just to keep everything together, here are the dumps I posted in other threads:
http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums?topic=9660275/1/#new (http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums?topic=9660275/1/#new) Pokemon "Ruby" (lets just call it that for now)
http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums?topic=9683447/1/#new (http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums?topic=9683447/1/#new) Lasama


Here's Digimon 9 - have fun! http://hhug.me/?post=9 (http://hhug.me/?post=9)
and just in case anyone was wondering how they got to 9:

Digimon 1: probably never existed (what self-respecting pirate starts at 1?)
Digimon 2: Yong Yong
Digimon 3: Vast Fame
Digimon 4: Yong Yong
Digimon 5: Yong Yong
Digimon 6: http://www.angelfire.com/games/digitalwrld/digigb.html (http://www.angelfire.com/games/digitalwrld/digigb.html)
Digimon 7: Sintax (Digital Drachen 7)
Digimon 8: ???, but no doubt exists
Digimon 9: this one!

and this is excluding everything that just has a subtitle or version name, like Pocket, Ruby, Sapphire, Yellow Jade, Amethyst, "Digimom Sapphii", "2003 Digimon Fighted" etc etc, or anything with a D-something number (Digimon D3 etc). there are a lot of Digimon pirates is what I'm saying.

Clearly the same engine as Digimon Yellow Jade (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJCaWA0Wk4c). Gotta love Sintax.

Edit: And now I'm wondering which is the original and which is the hack... because this isn't just a title hack; the graphics and levels are entirely different.

Edit #2: And it's totally a Li Cheng hack. "Niutoude" logo!

Hey, this actually looks pretty-AUGH GAWD NO. NOT THAT MUSIC AGAIN. Dx

But seriously though, this isn't half bad. A bit stiff and it's annoying that most enemies take more then one hit. But all in it, it'd be fine if it wasn't for THAT MUSIC.  >_<

They probably didn't have a musician in-house - if they'd tried to make their own, something terrible might have happened (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsT2FiajyLQ).

(Also they were still using Lemmings on some of their last GBC games...)

Never seen it on a cart, but it looks similar to this one.. just with different characters/cutscenes/levels. typical Sintax I suppose.

Post by: Superjustinbros on September 30, 2012, 01:52:14 AM
I actually like the concept of the second level; probably haven't seen a platformer pull off something like that in some time.

To be fair I do like the Lemmings GBC soundtrack, but yea, Sintax overuses it; like with the Pokemon Pinball music in all those SMBDX clones.

Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: Pepper-98 on October 04, 2012, 05:26:01 PM
That sounds like something I've experienced with an old Yong Yong dump (Digimon 4 to be precise.)  The game I sent Taizou was a copy that I completely played through, just in case the idea that it might be the game itself came up.
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: taizou on October 04, 2012, 06:29:18 PM
Yeah, I think Stone Age by Gowin does the same thing too. And I got one of the Yong Yong Digimon games to do it when I was messing around with cheat codes.. it actually booted into the same red/blue/green palette Sonic 7 uses for its intro. I've also seen it in a Yong Yong game on a real cart, for that matter. In fact I've even seen it in Pokemon Gold when I was trying to hack it and I screwed up, so it's not something that only happens in unlicensed games. I think it happens when a game is running on a GBC (or emu in GBC mode) but it resets and for some reason thinks its running on a mono GB, so it just uses some weird default palettes. In the Yong Yong games it makes the music speed up too, presumably because the GBC processor is faster and it messes up the timing of their sound engine.
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: Ray of Lightning on October 05, 2012, 03:46:29 AM
I think it was just a one time thing. =\
I played it again and it didn't reset. Weirdness.
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread

Interesting thing spotted in the Digimom Sapphii ROM: not only are there random sprites from Harvest Moon in there (as often seems to happen in Sintax's games), but there's a title screen for that game at 0x2E4011:

(http://imageshack.us/a/img18/7035/sintaxmoon.png)

Curiously, although it does indeed read 牧場物語, this title screen is not that of the Japanese version-- rather, it seems to be a back-translation of the English title screen (!), which has an entirely different design. This might also explain the 16x16 Chinese font (including Taiwanese phonetic characters) at 0x244004-- as far as I can surmise, Sintax built their ROMs on a Chinese translation hack of Harvest Moon.

I'm surprised you're getting all these games dumped. Was it you who had that Beggar Prince port from Sintax? That's something I'd like to see if you ever could figure it out =p

BTW are you just using that GBTransfer2 or whatever device and then modifying the dumps it outputs?
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: Robyn on November 16, 2012, 11:00:59 AM
Yay! Cheers taizou! Gonna have fun with this one. :D

And Barver: He uses a SmartBoy for all the new dumps (It's a flash cart, but it includes a USB flasher/dumper)

pretty much. but as rob said i have a Smartboy now too, 99% of the time they both result in the same dump, but the Smartboy is easier to use since it works under modern operating systems (whereas I have to boot into a crappy WinXP live CD to use the GB Transferer 2).

also, to repeat my comment on that post - if you downloaded the fixed rom before 00:47 GMT and it has the extension .gb instead of .gbc, it's a slightly-broken version, so please redownload it and forget the earlier version ever existed. sorry!

Nice to see that we're starting to get more and more of these Game Boy titles dumped.  Maybe within time we can see all of them dumped, especially the V.Fame ones.

Hello taizou

you can use the GBT 2 software with Windows 7 by choosing the XP compatibility mode. No problem here.

I have a little question: On your hp I read you found two more Mani 4 in 1 carts. Can you do a dump of this one please? http://hhug.me/?post=5 (http://hhug.me/?post=5)
I don't know if it can be fully dumped but if you can read the menu (32k?) it will maybe be enough to reconstruct the complete ROM image. Thanks in
advance.

btw I did redumps of Thunder Blast Man and Jurassic Boy II. I'm not sure if they are correct though. There is a strange phenomenon regarding the Sachen custom
logo which I don't understand yet. The scene dumps do not have a custom bootup logo but contain just the regular one. My dumps actually have both just like the Beast Fighter dump I did earlier. But: There are raw reads of two of the 4 in 1 games made with an EPROM programmer and they do not have the Sachen logo while a read from the pins actually does.
It is possible the custom logo is not stored in the ROM chip but somewhere else on the PCB and mapped into memory by the special mapper they use. So technically
a correct dump would just contain the regular one. I'm not sure though if this is really the case and if it applies to all their releases or maybe just the multigame-
carts.

My dumps also got bad checksums which I think is correct as I don't believe Sachen would care about correct ones. Probably the scene releases fixed these.
Ignoring the header/logo my dump of TBM matches the scene release perfectly. JB II however is different in several places. It might be a revision, an incorrect dump
or the former release was hacked.

Last but not least can you please explain what you did to "fix" some dumps to 4 MB? Did you redump them at 4 MB forced or is there some special sizing-up treatment I don't understand?
Little update: My copy/dump of Jurassic Boy II appears to be different in some way regarding tiles etc. For example the title screen shows Sachen(R) below the Jurassic Boy II title. The dump in the net does not. Can anyone check his copy of that game? I know there is a chinese label variantion of that at least. Maybe one shows the copyright, the other does not. Or possibly the one in the net is a pirate copy.

Yeah, I've dumped the menu already - I'll PM you. I also managed to dump Ganbaruga out of it and its 1:1 identical to the existing Japanese dump, so I guess it should be possible to recreate the multi using the separate dumps of the four games.

its the latter - the 2mb dumps are complete, i just have to rearrange the banks in a particular way for it to actually work. also theres some bit inversion going on, in different patterns depending on the game.

Thanks a lot for checking your carts. This explains a lot. I guess it is safe to assume the one in the net is an "official" Sachen release then as well. My dump(s) will be public within few hours - probably on retroroms first as usual.

Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: Robyn on November 29, 2012, 02:45:18 PM
Heya guys, I'm working on fixing a gameboy ROM now, so I figured to show how to know if a pirate is dumpable or not!
You will need:
An undumped pirate
A cheat cart
(and a dumper if you're actually gonna dump yourself)
~
Step 1: Put the cart in the cheat device
Step 2: Put it in a gameboy (uh lol no shit Sherlock!)
Step 3: Try it with the cheat switch turning 'OFF'. It should work.
Step 4: Now try with cheats 'ON'. If it works, then all to fix the game is in the header (or the 4mb trick, then if not, just switching around banks)!
If it doesn't work however, then fixing it is a pain, meaning you have to edit the damn code for it to work.

Hope this helps, taizou, BigFred and everyone else who does this!
Warning: it's only to see the strength of the protection.

Wow, everyday :o

Are Sintax games that, like, dumpable now? Can you go through most you have without worrying about coming up dry? =p

I might have to look into sending you my games for dumping someday. Or just buy the same device you have.
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: Robyn on December 15, 2012, 06:10:25 AM
It's the later games that are more likely to dump, earlier games don't work so easily, I think. Well Pocket Monster Carbuncle wouldn't work, so it's just luck.

Sweet dumps. Gotta check out that LOTR one. Lion King it's been awhile but I remember the music in the game ripped off Chrono Trigger's infamous Wind Scene music.
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: taizou on December 20, 2012, 10:00:23 AM
IIRC the music in that game is from Kandume Monsters, so if it rips off Chrono Trigger, Kandume ripped it off first.

Great to see all those games dumped and working :) Good work and thanks a lot!

I believe you could also release all non-working games as well as bonus. It's better to have them out and give emulator authors a chance to get them to work.

It's better to have them out and give emulator authors a chance to get them to work.[/quote]Yeah, possibly - the problem is I don't want to release incomplete or plain bad dumps into the wild, and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a bad dump and a protected/weird mapper/etc one. For example Bynasty Warriors 5, which I released recently - I'd dumped that a long time ago and never been able to get it to work, and it was only recently I realised my original dump was an underdump and I was able to redump it properly. If I'd released the previous dump, people would have just been wasting their time trying to get half a ROM to work. I'll gladly pass along my nonworking dumps to any emulator authors who want to take a look though.

one more~ http://hhug.me/?post=37 (http://hhug.me/?post=37)[/quote]Interesting about the Metal Gear game by Sintax.  I own a cart of this one, and could never get it to run on any of my Game Boys, GB, GBC or GBA.  So I did the logical thing and bought a second copy.  It doesn't play on any of them either.  Am I just getting bad carts (seems possible but a bit strange that it only happens for this one) or is there some sort of special protection that makes it incompatible with many machines?
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: Pepper-98 on March 10, 2013, 08:20:29 AM
My copy works on my Game Boys just fine, in fact that's how I did the game footage on my channel.  Maybe you just need to clean your copies?

Sometimes, Sintax can screw up, and loads of carts are faulty. For example, Taizou got Lion King III, and two carts he bought didn't work. Even SEALED Sintax games can sometimes not work!

Definitely agree with Rob's thoughts that there will most likely always be a working version to find of the Sintax games, even if you have to go through a few dozen duds first.  

The games are rare in their own right though, but like any of this mass-produced stuff, there are surely thousands of copies (or whatever the minimal run would be) of this stuff out there.

Seriously, it's like half the time, Sintax picks a soundtrack that fits the game perfectly (see: almost everything they released with the RPG Maker soundtrack), and the other half, they pick something that's so wrong for the game that it's hilarious.

(I mean, really. A Metal Slug bootleg, and out of all the soundtracks they could have gone with, they went with Lemmings?!)
Huh, seems like the Metal Slug game is possibly even based on the same engine as Pokemon Platinum. Both games do the same fade-to-darkness thing when paused.

A couple more weird findings:

World of Warcraft inexplicably has a "James Bond" title screen buried in its graphics. Perhaps another game that uses the same engine?

Digimon Fighter contains yet another variation on Digimon Amethyst (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JAcy9RfSv4)'s title screen-- "Digit Dinosaur: The adventrue of devildom" (sic!). The subtitle is in the same font as Digimon Amethyst's, but the title screen itself is based on the 2003 Digitmon Sapphire (http://hhug.me/?post=11) variation, complete with Croc. (And no, this isn't an English title screen for the beat-em-up game-- the tile bank that it's in is straight out of the Mario-knockoff platformer.)

Edit: "Digit Dinosaur" may very well be the original title screen for that platformer, possibly - it has "Copyright © Design by BBD" as part of the tiles. Also, the Croc in the "Digit Dinosaur" screen is a more direct copy from the Croc 2 title screen - it was redrawn for Digitmon Sapphire.

World of Warcraft claims in its header to be "AVP". If I recall, there was a still un-dumped Alien vs. Predator game from Sintax-- I have a pretty good idea now of what engine it must use.[/quote]Not only that, but it has an Alien on the Game Over screen - perhaps this is why!

Since the first fixed versions of already-released Li Cheng games had the wrong header (preventing saving in emulators) here are the new fixed versions ~ http://hhug.me/?post=53 (http://hhug.me/?post=53)

That reminds me that I still need to send in the V.Fame 18-in-1 I got a month ago. Hopefully that'll yield some new dumps.

I've played to Shuma Baobei - Chao Mengmeng Fanji Zhan 数码宝贝-超梦梦反击战 (the 'Gameboy Version' of Pocket Monsters for Sega Genesis) and is sad to say this, but the game is so terrible, even more than the Sega Genesis version.

HAIL TAIZOU. At last Vast Fame Multicarts themselves are dumped! :)

Note : As taizou said, multicarts work on hhugboy only. other emulators(BGB, VBA) don't work.

EDIT : I found a serious glitch in 'Rainbow Prince'. In stage 4, the background crashes.
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: taizou on September 05, 2016, 06:42:49 PM
yeah that version of Rainbow Prince is pretty broken. I'm guessing either it was an early version or they didn't properly remove (their own) copy protection.
Title: Handheld Underground dumps thread
Post by: Sink Penol on September 05, 2016, 07:00:01 PM
Additional Glitches found.
 * Rainbow Prince : Well, the background crash glitch was in stage 2, not 4.
 * Story of Lasama(These glitches are not found in standalone dump.)
  - 99 lives in start.(Told in Handheld Underground download page.)
  - Invincible against enemies. You won't die even you touch enemies! However, you still lose a life.
  - When touched by enemies, death sound is looped endlessly until fall to death or clear the stage.
Maybe 'cheat' as copy protection?
These glitches are found both 12 in 1 and 18 in 1.

Also, if Multipack is played in other emulators :
 * In BGB, Shi Kong Xing Shou is playable in 12 in 1 and causes Vast Fame's 'Test sram error'. 18 in 1 is not active with message 'bad file size'.
 * In VBA, Shi Kong Xing Shou is playable both in 12 in 1 and 18 in 1. However, the emulator will crash soon when you play 18 in 1.

PS.
* I played Zook Z via this multipack. Zook Z is much easier than Zook 2, and difficulty and traps are more complicated than Zook 2. In Zook 2, some traps are VERY annoying.
* This version of Vast Digimon Battle(aka Digimon Ruby in GB) reuses Shui Hu Shen Shou's Music(Told by Shamboozle). This one is much easier than Pokemon Pikecho.

I've wondered if Digimon Ruby existed in Chinese since I've never come across it in all my years here. Got a pic of the cart? Wish I could find it CIB still.

I bought that Lord of the Rings brand new sealed years ago. Glad to see it's been dumped finally. I should scan the manual it came with and put it on the wiki sometime.

here's the Ruby cart:

I'm still looking for a copy of Chinese Sapphire to dump too, I tried to buy it off Sky League at one point but either they or the taobao agent fucked up my order and I ended up with some GBC Sintax game instead. (but hey that was undumped too, so at least I got *something*)

After that the only missing VF GBA games I know of are English Rockman & Crystal and that Super Robot Wars game (it has been dumped on some Chinese forum but with partially removed protection or something, I'd rather dump the original and emulate it)

and yeah that'd be cool if you could scan the LOTR manual, I'd like to see that. does it have any credits?

[/quote]What was the Sintax game you got? Was it Zook Hero 3 by any chance? I know Sky League was selling that one and I have been hoping to see it dumped for a while.

nah, they didn't have Zook 3 when I last looked at their store (at least not the cart, they were selling a dump at one point but I'm not paying them for that..). It was some Pokemon game. Emerald I think. The one that's a hack of Emo Cheng DX with Raichu

Thank you so much for the new dumps today, Taizou!
I watched videos about a lot of those games back in early 2015, and I wanted ROM dumps of those, especially SNK vs. CAPCOM, but they weren't dumped yet. Now I can finally play them! The only problem is that I can only play them on hhugboy for now. Also, I noticed that one of the Dragon Ball Z games steals its audio from Mega Man Xtreme, and SNK vs. CAPCOM's music is taken from the Asian NES fighting game Street Heroes by Sachen (there's also apparently a GBC version of it as well which is dumped but I can't get it to work in any emulator).
Now if we could just get the English Zook Z and the rest of those HES and Codemasters NES games (see my recent list of dumped and undumped games in the NES area of the forum) dumped...
