I shipped these out to be dumped a while ago. I shared them on BGC Discord but did not post them here. Here is a link to that discord message if you are curious

Edit: Added the files directly. Leaving up the discord link if you are curious about context

So a while back I had a thread of this same name going where I would post ROMs for games and ROM hacks made in China and Taiwan. I took down that thread because early on I was not super knowledgeable about checking them and had some concerns that they might not work right. Some of those I think got reuploaded elsewhere but I am going to be posting what I've got here. These will be raw dumps so you might need a specific emulator to make them work. To start things off, here is seven Sintax games. These include a couple of reskins of their Castlevania title (口袋妖怪绿宝石 and 魔戒战士传说), a couple of German versions of Sintax games that are already preserved (2003 Digital Drachen Blaudiamond and Yinyang Drachen), a Sintax game that is already preserved but with a different title screen (Digit Dinosaur 7 The adventure of devildom), a reskin of BBD's Digimon Adventure 2001 (新石器时代), and a reskin of Zook Hero 3 that kept things like the level select in tact (新疯狂啊给泡泡堂)

A while back I made the claim that the King of Fighters R2 Engine was based off of the Beast Wars game by Takara because it seemed like games using that engine had some compatibility with Beast Wars in terms of save states. Specifically it was a raw dump of Dragon Ball Final Bout using BBD unlicensed copy protection mode in hhugboy that I did this testing on. Here is a save state I had made in Beast Wars that made me think this, this is a save the screen that appears before a fight in Beast Wars, which when loaded in Final Bout would cause a corrupted looking fight sequence to begin (which would then crash after the timer ticked down a bit). I no longer feel confident enough in these findings to keep that assertion on the wiki that KOF R2 uses Beast Wars engine, which is why I removed that from the wiki, but I figured I may as well post why I thought this to begin with. I'll include my save states, as well as the Final Bout ROM I used when testing this out. Sorry for jumping the gun on that one, my bad

Recently I saw a cheating device for the GBC branded as bBd. I was wondering if anyone here knew if this was the same as BBD, just different capitalization. I know that cheating devices are not really the focus of this site, but I figured that if it had ties to a major bootleg/unlicensed developer hat it would be fitting. If it is by BBD, then maybe it has codes for their games already programmed into it. I know that Vast Fame's cheating device, the Firebird, has codes built in for some of their games (though they reused header names at times so I don't know what exact games the codes are for, but whichever one it is, it used the header name Shawu Story). Also, does anyone here have a picture of the Firebird?

I was checking some of my games and comparing them with photos taken by other people and noticed something. There are a bunch of pirate carts of Vast Fame games that look incredibly similar to the actual mainland China releases of their games. When I say pirate cart, I am referring to copies made without ties to the original creator, with the copy protection edited out. When I say mainland China release I mean carts that have custom boot logos and copy protection that prevents emulation of the game's ROM. On Pepper-98's old blog, she showed a picture with a mainland China release of Digimon Crystal 3 and a pirate cart of Rockman DX3. Notice the rectangular black glob on the top left side of Rockman DX3? Yeah that appears on pirate carts that say "GB-A76E" on the back of their circuit board. I'll include some pictures of pirate carts like that one that I own. Notice how one of those looks pretty much identical to Pepper-98's copy of Digimon Crystal 3, except for the different circuit board. Yeah, thank goodness these things are transparent. That's all, watch out for these pirate carts (unless you want deprotected versions of these games), and happy hunting

Also, according to this dinosaur of a thread these pirate carts have a similar circuit board to the actual Vast Fame multicarts, so maybe they do have some sort of a tie to Vast Fame, but that is just speculation.

Another thought: the multicart versions of Vast Fame's games sometimes have the wrong music, most notably in Digimon Pocket. So does the pirate cart of Digimon 3 Crystal shown in my picture. If the two truly are related as speculated in the thread I previously mentioned, then that means that it is possible more deprotected Vast Fame releases were made by these guys. I know for a fact that Super Fighters Alpha 2001, Super Fighters S, Digimon Saphire, and Pokemon Ruby by Vast Fame all had mainland China releases, so they might have deprotected versions as well.

I remember hearing the name "Tian Cai Xiao Zi" used for some odd company that made hacks of Vast Fame games. Is this one of their games? For that matter, does anyone here know what games they released? I think Taizou dumped a couple of Li Cheng versions of their games

On the old site PGC there was a page for rules on the forums, but on this site I can only seem to find the rules for the wiki. Did the rules page get moved or something?
