Posting here instead of a blog update because there's not much interesting stuff in my latest Taobao package.  (Warning: image is pretty big)

Spoiler: click to toggle


Top left to bottom right:

-Shui Hu Shen Shou: An official copy of the game, as it boots up with the "V.FAME" logo.  The only difference I've found so far is that the intro plays each screen a tad bit longer, so you can hear the entire first loop of the intro song.  Everything else seems the same.

-Pokemon Game #1: Winsen release of Pokemon Blue that has trouble booting up.  This piece of crap boots with "Niutoude".

-Harry Potter Game #1: A not-so-special bootleg of Harry Potter 3 by Winsen that boots with "Nintendo".  Dunno why that is, but whatever.  I have no idea what that logo under the "RPG" text is from.  Same as ROM.

-Harry Potter Game #2: Despite the label it's actually...the English release of Pokemon Red.  Wait, what?  (Boots with "Nintendo", by the way.)

-Pokemon Game #2: A Chinese hack of the second Pokemon Trading Card game released only in Japan.  Yet another Winsen release and it boots with "Niutoude".  Also has that logo from the first Harry Potter game, though it's barely legible.

-Next Four Games: Nothing special at all.  Jungle Book's board doesn't like sitting still, which is a pain.  Gotta love Konamiball Konamic Basket, though.

-Labeless Game #1: Atlus' Last Bible game in Chinese.  Boots with "Nintendo".

-Labeless Game #2: Weird multicart called "Color 1 in 1" (yes, really) with an e-mail to "logroom@263.net" and has three options: NV-RAM TEST, which does nothing but bring you to the menu again, with CONTINUE GR 1 N and POKEMON GREEN bringing you to a Chinese hack of the English release of Pokemon Blue.  Bottom of the screen says "GZ.GD 2001".

I nearly bought that cart once, thinking it might be the original release of Harry Potter 3. I guess someone somewhere got the labels mixed up.

Don't know how I had not discovered this till now, since it was last updated in 2006, but... Macro Winners' video blog! (Hosted on Xanga, of all places.) Features gameplay clips of various consoles that they've made!

Apparently Waixing's Super Contra 7 (which is, of course, on an all-Waixing-developed plug-n-play) is now "Xtreme Robot".  :unsure: And a score of zero in soccer is now pronounced "love". :lol:

Also, who the hell would do an English test on a dance mat? O_o

OK, I'm definitely losing my eyesight. I was staring straight at the TV screen in the clip and didn't even notice the loud-and-clear DJ Jungle logo. :lol:

And yeah, that English test... is it like English comprehension whack-a-mole or something?

Great, yet another Contra pirate and BS.

Time to update the blog... and take an entire bottle of Prozac :P

Not quite. In-game graphics are different, too, kind of similar to Super Fight I.

While YouTube-surfing, I found evidence that, in addition to the Sintax original and the hack of VFame's Devil Land that have been mentioned here in the past, there is a third Lord of the Rings pirate for GBC.

That's the good news. The bad news: it's by Yong Yong.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOV6MPoTGEg[/quote]On the plus side, at least that's one game I wouldn't bother wasting my money on. :P It's one thing when a developer makes really bad games, it's a lot worse when they're as prolific as those Power Joy clones. >_>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOV6MPoTGEg[/quote]Ey, a crappy hack of Pokemon Sapphire, which is a hack of Mewtwo Strikes Back, and the main character's sprite looks like an edit of Taichi from my Digimon Diamond game, judging by the animation.  :pandaaway:   Don't stop the half-assery, Yong Yong!

The sad thing is that their games can't even be considered special, since they're lazily designed and that they're a dime a dozen on Taobao.  >_>
