So I've got Metal Sonic Overdrive, a great fan-made version of Sonic the Hedgehog by Darkon. It has new levels, music, and graphics. Even has several selectable characters including Kirby and friggin' Somari (Mario)!. $15 USD, several copies available.



These cartridges are brand new. All the components are brand new; cart shell, PCB, ROM chip, nothing is taken from sacced carts or anything. They're tested in a US/JP model 1, a 32X, a Nomad, and some clone systems. The only hiccup is the cart shell. It's a universal notched style shell but it'sa few mm thicker than a normal USA cartridge, about the size of a 32x cart. I don't have a model 2 to try, but in a USA model 1 it's an EXTREMELY tight death grip fit. However, if you use a Game Genie, Action Replay, Mega Key, or any other type of passthrough cartridge it's no problem at all. It also seems to fine in most clone systems since they have oversized cart slots. The game itself works in every system I've tried, it's just the cart shell that's a problem.

If you're interested just drop me a line.

-Thanks!

I don't really know much about Pokemon titles (or Famicom pirates in general) but I thought this might be of interest to some.

I started this project a couple of weeks ago.

This is a hack of Lei Dian Huang: Bi Ka Qiu Chuan Shuo,otherwise known as Pokemon Yellow.

This is an amazingly accurate famicom port of Pokemon Yellow. It's made by the Shenzhen Nanjing, the makers of the Final Fantasy VII and IV famicom ports. It also uses mapper 163. But unlike other games made by this company, this one is of very high quality. In some ways it's even better than the game boy version.

This game was praised for it's high quality, but criticized for the music. But this hack completely replaces the original songs in the game with ones that are more accurate to the original, and less annoying. The original 14 songs were replaced, with more than 20 new songs. Almost all are based on Pokemon R/B/Y, some are based on G/S/C.

This hack also translates many of the game’s menus. Pretty much anything that could be translated without hacking the game’s text system.

Have fun! p://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,14071.html

Copy protections removed by our good friend D4S.

The archives contain both patched and unpatched versions of the games, as well as pictures of the carts and some other information.

Consider this like a Valentine's Day bouquet, only instead of roses it's an a bouquet of unplayable trash. Enjoy!

Aladdin 2000 (Unl) for SNES/SFC

A Bug's Life (Unl) for SNES/SFC

A friend of mine has been looking for Hercules 2 for Mega Drive for some time now. I bought a bunch of unlicensed games this past week and included in them was Hercules, which I bought for him.

Got it in today and the cart itself looks like it's been through hell. There's a chunk missing out of the plastic shell and the label is held on with clear packing tape. It wouldn't boot up at first and I went through about a half-dozen cotton swabs trying to get all the grime off the contacts.

Plug it in and notice a weird title screen...then I notice it's not Hercules 2 but Hercules 1, a hack of this game. I guess I cursed myself because I just happened to update the Hercules 2 entry on the wiki a week or so ago with the information regarding this oddball hack (and why Hercules 2 has a 2 on the end).

Has anyone ever played through this hack? Is anything different other than the title screen? And how in the world did anybody figure this would be an appropriate game to charade as a Hercules game?

Barring Virtua Fighter VS Tekken 2 (or maybe not) did all the one-on-one fighters for Mega Drive use the SMPS engine? And this was the same as the High Seas Havoc sound driver, correct?

What about the platformers? (Mulan, Pocket Monster, Hercules 2, Lion King 2, etc)

And how exactly did the High Seas Havoc sound engine get to be the tool of choice?

I was browsing around the Wiki trying to find some info on these PocketNES GBA pirates I've got that are packaged with one ROM as a standalone game. I identified Super Aladdin II as using the variant of Super Game's Aladdin (Super Aladdin version) and then started looking at this Lion King game.

The game itself is Super Game's Lion King. The only versions of it I have are labeled Mapper 4 and Mapper 128 in the file name, neither of which are this one. This one replaces the Super Game logo on startup with "The Lion King III", then reverts to the regular title screen. I haven't played the game long enough to see if it is a hack of the original mapper 4 or 128, but might sometime soon.

Is this ROM version unique to this pirate, or has the "Lion King III" version been dumped already?

The story of Tengen's team going about defeating the NES lockout chip is well documented, and I've ran across a tidbit or two about Color Dream's efforts. I'm assuming whatever chip Color Dreams designed was used in the Sachen/Bunch Games titles that were produced for the NES. Seems like I ran across some info about Codemasters also.

What about other NES pirates? I don't own any to personally inspect them, so I'm curious how some of the these operate. Although the companies I mentioned above are about the only unlicensed NES cart manufacturers with legit games I've seen quite a few single game and multi-game cartridges in NES shells.

Surely these companies didn't use 60-72 pin converters in each cartridge, did they?

Here is Super Aladdin II which is a single-game PocketNES hack.

It's just like the other single-game hacks I've ran into, only it seems to be a later version since the options screen has some credits listed that aren't in the older versions. Or at least I'm assuming it's that way, maybe it's the other way around.

All of these I've seen are designed the same way; two zooming still pictures and after pressing start it boots to the game. Several of the options originally in PocketNES have been removed. Although the ROM itself doesn't look to be altered I'm interested to find out if there are any other credits or messages hidden in the PockeNES portion that has been altered.

While it's obvious this is a bloated dump since the ROM + emulator do not use nearly that amount of memory I was too lazy to go about trimming it.
