Other Pirates / Re: nearly undocumented Sonic Mania PS2 bootlegs
« on: February 22, 2026, 02:49:23 PM »
The Brazilian PS2 scene is incredibly unexplored. Most of research on bootleg games focuses on the older consoles, especially since they have more original games.

Do you remember the exact glitch you were experiencing with the Internet Archive?

Here's a spreadsheet I made to list the music themes as well as common sound effects. This should hopefully help as an analogue or easier reference, since spreadsheets have more space to list more elements. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r17uLgUu_zY8FWqwtXUzlPIoUiEwcRHljLTrKXd1UG8/edit

For individual contributions, a friend once told me the melody for the title theme of Dual Hoopers is the national anthem of some non-European country, but I don't remember which one anymore and the logs for that conversation have been lost.

By the way, BullyBoy works on Nintendulator-NRS.

Famicom/NES dumps / Re: Has Crash 2 for the PVP station ever been dumped?
« on: September 22, 2025, 05:15:25 PM »
I don't think it has been, no. It's not in any ROMset that I know of, and the BGW page with it only uses snapshots of raw footage.

Famicom/NES dumps / Re: Release: 64 in 1 (Dynavision/VirtualStation)

Awesome, now more people can experience this part of gaming history.

120 em 1 não é a ROM em específico do Wi Vision, esse é um multi-cartucho feito pela Waixing que tem mais outras variantes.

Interessante que a ROM do Wi Vision tem a mesma estética do 120 em 1. Conheço bem o comercial do console mas não sabia que ele tinha uma variante do multi-cartucho da Waixing.

No momento não me parece que existe um arquivo da ROM do Wi Vision. Até agora o Discord do fórum não falou sobre o assunto, mas o fórum tem tópicos sobre o console desde 2013. Imagino que se quisessem fazer um arquivo do Wi Vision, até agora não encontraram alguém do Brasil pra fazer o trabalho.

Update: Falei sobre isso no Discord, XanderMax falou que tem um Wi Vision desde uma década já e não fazia ideia que não tem um arquivo da ROM. Esperamos que ele ou outra pessoa com o console contate alguém com capacidade de fazer dumps de ROMs.

Classic Player Deluxe 86 in 1 is a homebrew multicart specifically parodying bootleg ones, made by forgotusername. It's not really a true bootleg. https://archive.org/details/86in1

I'm not sure if Bully Boy is homebrew. It uses a multicart system used by actual bootlegs, but anyone can use that these days. The fact that the name is a credible (if poor) translation of 霸王小子 (Bàwáng Xiǎozi; I would translate it as "Conqueror Kid") doesn't help.

I definitely thought it was odd that a website that managed to survive to this day still uses only HTTP, but I figure maybe it's just a limitation with the host being used. I mean I thought people didn't care about this forum anymore (at first) but there's still posts from NRS in 2024 so

Hey, I'm new here, and I've decided to make a Google Docs page about this topic. You are all free to share any sources that you find. Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18QznVkbPA2fxaArLejM3s2hVOy-Jg4inX1emwKFrBec/edit?usp=sharing
It's probably more accurate to just say Bootleg Games? A lot of them aren't even from China, they're from Taiwan. Also, not all of them are from plug-n-plays; I don't think the Miwi BS9800 is a plug-n-play at least.
