2000-present / Re: Nice Code "Go Retro Portable" copyright restorations
« Last post by forgotusername on February 27, 2024, 03:26:33 PM »In some Nice Code titles, the copyright byline is specially fit for one string to appear in that area. I found that two games, Bomberman 2002 and Jungly Guy, have their blanked-out areas fit to read "© Dongxin Soft" and "© Power Joy Ltd", respectively; the order the text appears in the CHR data also indicates this. Interestingly, all further variants of Bomberman 2002 have no logical space for a copyright notice whatsoever; as is the case for Tactful, another variant of Jungly Guy. Restorations of both games attached below.

2000-present / Re: Nice Code "Go Retro Portable" copyright restorations
« Last post by forgotusername on February 27, 2024, 12:34:37 PM »Here are restorations of some of the "Qi Sheng Long" variants of Nice Code games. These releases never had copyright notices originally; however, a few games in this library originally had two-player modes, which were removed in the currently dumped revisions. Additionally, two games had extended titles: "Indreak" was originally called "Indreak in the Conduit", and "The Worms" was originally called "The Training Camp of Worms". I'm not sure exactly why the titles were simplified, though data for the original logos still exist in the ROM.
In total, I have restored seven of the Qi Sheng Long games: including the aforementioned Indreak in the Conduit and The Training Camp of Worms, alongside Bear vs. Thief, Cool Baby, Doll, Fairy, and Monster Ball. "Bubbles Puzzle" also has a two player variant, though I was unable to restore that one. I used footage of the Japanese "FC Home 88" console as reference.

« Last post by Ankos on February 26, 2024, 10:35:14 PM »Yeah, I have no idea why they decided to use go with that soundtrack. That game is actually a reskin of the (currently undumped) Zook Hero 3 by Sintax (apparently they had some behind the scenes ties to Vast Fame). They must've been out of their minds when making that one since it is kinda nuts. Megaman 1 spikes, really strong knockback, a glitch that eats your jump if you press the d-pad and jump at the same time, super bulky enemies, no continues, etc.
Their favorite music to borrow is from some Lemmings game. It's alright, but they often try and come up with something better for their fancier titles

I dumped my copy and posted it in this thread. You might not have noticed because I used the Chinese name for it, 口袋妖怪绿宝石
Thanks. Ive been looking for that for a few days. I know it's just a rehash of the same CastleVania game Sintax uses for everything, level layout and all, but if I'm gonna play Sintax CastleVania any way, I wanna play it as fatass Gold/Crystal Raichu. X3
Also, I found a Mega Man-like game in that pack, and of all the games they could have possibly stolen music from, why on god's green Earth did they rip from Thinking Rabbit's Mega Man 2? I mean, usually they pull from games with good soundtracks like CastleVania 2: Belmont's Revenge, Pokemon Pinball, maybe RPG Maker GB (like in Digimon Fight) or King Of Fighters 95 (like in Final Fantasy: Fantasy Wars X). But Mega Man 2 for the game boy? A soundtrack that's hated by most people? Seriously? Not Mega Man 1,3, 4 or 5, but the high-pitched, grating soundtrack from 2?
