Famicom/NES / Re: miscellaNEouS files
« Last post by forgotusername on October 18, 2025, 03:50:03 PM »Here is a decoded copy of the recently dumped "Danz Kara" plug & play by Game Star, alongside extracts of some of its games. The decoding process was relatively simple for the console itself; though some of the "educational computer"-based software contains further encryption (alongside strange compression [?] for two games' CHR data), so I was not able to extract every single game.
This console is a bizarre mishmash of various developers' games, to a level where I can barely even comprehend where some of its contents were sourced from. Of particular note is that two games, Runner and Mole, are originally-developed games by Inventor, which have not surfaced on any other console. The copyright notices were removed in both, so I have included guesswork restorations below. Oddly, the Runner notice was covered up by coding in a row of blank tiles to mask the original notice; so I just zeroed-out that code to display the Inventor credit. Due to the aforementioned CHR issue, Runner has been given an 8K CHR file; I am unsure if this is the intended code structure, but it seems to run fine.
Note that the Smart Millionaire game has a tendency to crash on certain questions; the MAME team states that this is just how the game plays (great quality control), and is not an emulation/dumping issue.
