Wow, really? I'll admit, despite playing bootleg stuff for over 20 years now, I still don't know the inner workings of the hardwareses. That seems like a pretty peculiar task, considering none of the games I've ever played on an NES emulator has been like this before.

It looks like hot garb but at least Conde got a nifty "alternate costume" out of it!

Whatchoo doin' there, Momotarō?

Alright, so recently I started going through the Inventor catalog, and for some reason, when I get to the second Conte Enegy (the Championship Lode Runner hack), I get colors like the attached image. I actually have the ROM from three different places 'cause I'm dumb and kept forgetting I had it, and they all do the same. Every other game I've played of theirs looks "fine", and I've tried 4 different emulators (VirtuaNES, NintendulaterNRS, FCEU, and NESTopia). I also swear I have seen this one (again, specifically the CLR hack) with "normal" colors reflecting the other Conte Enegy game. So is there something wrong with the ROMs or my settings, or is it supposed to look like that?

Can you believe it's been over 3 years and I still can't figure this mess out? Am I that stupid?

I know this is an old-ass topic, but I've been pondering this for some time now.

Who retains the "rights" to the original characters, programming, etc. after a pirate company goes under. Or are there no "rights" and it's all wild wild... er... east?

Like if you wanted to make a game with Hummer, Q-Boy, and Jacky Lucky and sell it on Steam, how bad would your ass get fried? Would anybody even give a shit?

Heyyy someone here speaks my language!

I know some Lexibook setups have "Blazing Fighter" and "Sword Soul". I also have a fighter on one of my devices but I forget what it was/was called. It's essentially a bunch of Pocket Fighter recolors and edits lmao

I'll dig that one up and let you know.

I am very glad you were able to confirm a solo release for Cross High! Thanks so much!

Merry Christmas to you too!

Eh! I tried. Those characters sure could use more exposure!
