At the risk of this spiraling out into an e-penis contest, I'd like to have a thread available for people to list the particular carts they own that are currently undumped or not available publicly. I know there's a lot of games I'd like to have more information about that barely exist beyond a blurry auction photo or a foreign language forum post.  

Perhaps those that have the equipment to dump could also post and offer their services. Even if you weren't interested in dumping your cartridge you could provide particular game details to those that are interested.

So fess up you stingy punks... who's holding out?

Upon comparison it looks like all the sprites in the SFEX+@ game are completely original and not used in any other game.

Played some more of these over the weekend.

KoF '99 does have the "hold B bug" where you can't move if you keep punch pressed in. I was under the impression this was only present in Top Fighter (since it's not in '98) so apparently Top Fighter is the using the same exact engine as '98/'99, which might be a tweaked engine of the previous fighters. Anything from '98 on does not use the A button for anything (block or otherwise) and blocking is done by simply pressing back.

Sprite comparisons between the three show that all use the same exact sprites and animations ripped from the same series of games. The only difference I see offhand is that Top Fighter pulled sprites from KoF '94 for Kyo, Jordan, and Ali while '99 got it's fucked up Iori sprite from only God knows where. I can't believe they even included it, it looks so bad.

OT but KoF 2000 on SNES pulls all it's backgrounds and music from existing SNES games, including Final Fight 2 and Fatal Fury.

Samurai Spirits II has a title screen dated '97, as does Soul Blade/Edge, but being that one of the characters from Soul Blade was used in SSII it makes sense that Soul Blade was made prior to SSII, then Samurai Spirits VS Soul Edge came last.

I was always under the impression that the engine used in Soul Blade was just a modified version of the one used in either Tekken 3 Special or VFvT2 (and SSII further modifying it). Both have an almost useless air game and both feature a very strange exaggerated walking movement that makes gameplay a chore.

The link I posted above supposedly has a working crack to overcome the simple protectio (some type of checksum or memory bank check) and will make it work on everything if Babelfish's horrible translation is to be believed.

I really like this game, much moreso that Top Fighter or KoF2k on SNES, and would love to have a version that works on my flash carts or even make a damn repro if I had too.

Is there anyone here fluent enough to register on that forum and check it out? I'd almost pay just for that information.

Dumping it is the easy part, unfortunately defeating the copy protection will be the hard part.

I wasn't sure if it was outdated info or what, but I needed to check on two entries.

Is Lord of the Rings 3 (MD) really undumped? If so I have my cart dumped, the "3" means nothing as it's just slapped onto the artwork and the game remains the same as the original.

Street Fighter EX + @ is listed as undumped, but I've seen images of it before. None of them worked for me, nor have I seen any videos or screenshots, so I didn't know if it had uncracked copy protection or lack of fan interest. If it is truly undumped I can dump mine.

So a while back I bought a group of carts from a seller that included a MD pirate called "Chinese Legend". This was written in English on the top of the cart, with the cart label being a generic Oriental swordsman picture.

The seller turned out to be a total flake and "lost" the games before he could ship. I did get my money back but never managed to get this particular cart. Any idea what game it was? I know pirates sometimes refer to game titles as weird stuff, especially when giving a shoehorned translation from Chinese or Japanese to English.
