Famicom/NES / Re: miscellaNEouS files
« Last post by May_Morals on December 11, 2025, 12:06:21 PM »
here is another notable game from the a6plus retro arcade.
This one is yet another version of Mitashi's International Cricket, which is basically an Nes port of Brian Lara Cricket.
That specific version is based on the Waixing version, however it does carry it's own specialties:
-The Title Music is quite altered.
-The Background building at the coin toss has been replaced
-The Cricket Referee ingame is wearing earmuffs instead of a Hat

Pretty fascinating, how several companies distribute their own version of this ridiculously outlandish port of an Mega Drive game with quite some differences: Waixing, Cubetac and even an fanmade one, That hidden Gem has some unpredicted reputation.

Famicom/NES / Question about the Retro Arcade FC A6 Plus' SD Card Feature.
« Last post by May_Morals on December 08, 2025, 01:16:43 PM »
Thank you for providing it. I managed to identify every Famicom/NES ROM within the code (sifting through loads of junk data), mainly done by just searching for common .nes file sizes (e.g. 25k, 41k). Games of particular note include the following:

*Three uncommon Inventor hacks: Air Raider, Dream Rapid, and a variant of Rush Hour featuring motorcycles (whereas the prior known version uses cars). The early version of Boat Race mentioned a few posts back is also present here in working order.
*Anger Bird, Khresna, and Upin & Ipin Adventure 3, three hacks which are affiliated with the "Play Vision Portable" systems.
*The 8-bit version of Waixing's Explorer (AFAIK, the last remaining undumped VT02 game in the set), as well as an MMC3-based version of Tank. Unfortunately, both ROMs do not run standalone; I assume this is initialization-related, though I could not determine a fix at a cursory glance.

Some additional technical notes that I found interesting:

*As mentioned in MAME's notes, remnants of what appears to be a Linux system are scattered across the SD card; with the NES ROMs haphazardly thrown in alongside the Linux data.
*Every ROM contains space for an iNES header, though in some cases it is overwritten with other data, presumably used by the VT02 menu system.
*Some of the games are duplicated multiple times across the SD card contents. While some duplicates are merely unaltered ROMs, others seem to be in varying states of removing the games' copyright information.
*All of the games are either NROM or MMC3, without support for CHR-RAM; which is to be expected of a VT02 console, but still a bit jarring given its SD card compatibility. There are quite a few MMC3 conversions on here as a result, including some games that are not commonly converted (e.g. Kero Kero Keroppi 1, Tetsuwan Adam).
*The ROM of Fish War features a Nature Color Game copyright, but it was blanked out via PRG (because of course it was). I did attempt to restore the notice, but it required more guesswork than usual...
*The ROM of Bolt Action is massively overdumped, and inexplicably, appears to have overwritten the data of "Mechanical Invader", a Nice Code game that is almost completely undocumented. The CHR is largely intact, though no portions of the PRG are present.

I have attached the most notable games below. I will likely compile the mapper hacks at a later date; if not a full release of the extracted contents. (Also note that with all of that, I still have no idea what "Video Player" was supposed to be...)
I have ordered this A6 Plus mini arcade machine recently. i tried it out without the SD Card and it turns out, that, there is a list with some built in games.  However, if you insert any other SD CArd in, it tells you something about a path Error. Does anyone know, how i should call the path for my own games? I presume it would be "WMGame" but there may be another.

Pirated Work / Re: Custom Multis

Here's a 4-in-1 multicart I made to test I-CHR which is a tool to convert PNGs into CHRs. I've used I-CHR on SF-1010 before, but this is the first time I used with a non-emulator screenshot (in this case, the LoveLive Days art of Ren Hazuki from LoveLive Superstar which I found on LoveLive Wiki). The convertion process is not that straightforward - I have to reduce the color in Paint.net and change the palette within NES palette limitations for the best results. The end result is cool regardless. (Also I used a self-modified version of Sonic 3 Special Stage music from Famistudio's examples, of which I removed Namco 163 expansion audio. )

A few more fixes for some shoddily-coded Nice Code games:
*Coast Guard (a Canyon Bomber hack) appears to have had some graphic tiles shifted during development, which was not corrected via code; resulting in the life icon not displaying, and the "Time Over" and "Game Over" text displaying incorrect tiles. I have attached corrected versions below for both copyright revisioins.
*Fated Pirate has its music played back terribly; restarting the main audio channel when beginning a game, while continuing to play the backing tracks (resulting in greatly unsynced music). To fix this, I simply zeroed-out the code that restarts the main sound channel. I also applied this fix to the "Corsair" variant, which features different (and slightly more intuitive) control mapping.

Also, attached is what I've got so far for a combined ROM, which a probably-bad header.
