Game Boy / Re: Connection between Game USA and other games

A company with an unknown name (often called NGCA because they sold English-language releases of Vast Fame games with the text "New Game Color Advance" on the box) sold a massive number of games and also put black stamps on their PCBs, so it's probably them

I'm not sure. I have a cart with a similar look with a UK ID, so I think it has to do with where these were sold, but I don't think these normally pop up in the wild in the USA

Oh. Taizou (the person who runs hhug.me) posted how the ID system works for UC multis in the discord. So your multi's ID is "UC-100M01".
The 100 refers to the claimed game count. The M refers to the ROM size (so any multi of theirs with an M after the game count is going to be quite big) and the 01 after the M refers to this multi's number in relation to the others that were released. So it is the first 100 in 1 multi with this ROM size the company made

« on: April 28, 2023, 10:55:50 AM »I dumped the ROM for it off of one of my multicarts and posted it to my ROMs thread. In my experience it appears on Ka Sheng and JY multicarts. I've never seen an equivalent version for Silver though, though there are other translations for the generation 2 pokemon games
I found this one on a Game USA Color Advance cartidge that I got bundled with my GBA a few years ago.
I made a wiki page for it as well because I couldn't find anything about these multicarts on the internet...

That is a sort of well known manufacturer, but they are not Ka Sheng or JY. If I remember right you could sort of tell how much stuff was on these by the ID code since a lot of these lie about their game count, though I don't remember exactly how the trick worked

This is quite interesting. This is Japanese version of Pokemon Gold, not the US/European version BTW.
Oh, so this might be a pre-release translation by whoever pirated this. Was this even a thing back then? - to translate a game for a different region where it hasn't officially been released yet to better sell ones pirated work? Thanks for the info though!

Yes, that was a practice. It happened with quite a few Pokemon titles. I've seen it with Pokemon Green, Pokemon Gold, Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon Fire Red, Pokemon Sapphire, and Pokemon Emerald. There were also fan translations people tried to squeeze out before the official one, and some of those wound up on pirate carts as well

Game Boy / Re: GBS Rips
« on: March 27, 2023, 11:58:00 PM »By the way, I managed to rip Digimon Adventure Pocket into a GBS. Special thanks goes to Ankos for making a dump of the game that I was able to rip from, but from what I heard that dump has bugs in emulators (busted copy protection?). The GBS rip sounds fine, at least to me, though.
Yes, that is the going theory. I sent the ROM to someone more knowledgeable on emulation, so that maybe one day it can be released and emulated without a bunch of bugs. As is it crashes whenever a Digimon faints in battle, so I decided to delist it

Nice. Have you checked Asian Sources Electronics for Supervision stuff? It seems like the sort of magazine that would cover it

Temporarily taking down this game since it appears to have some issues when emulated

« on: March 08, 2023, 09:12:58 PM »Oh, cool. The fact that there are still new Supervision carts being discovered today really impresses meNice. Have you seen this 4 in 1 Supervision cartridge that was discovered recently?
Indeed. Me 'n' the fellow who bought it are in regular contact.

Sintax did a port of Super Mario Bros for the GBC. It went by multiple titles and got a rerelease by NGCA with the ID SM056 stamped on the board (at least on my copy). I don't think the NGCA version has been dumped yet, so I'm posting it here
