Arcade Action II 101 in 1

Just wondering, where does Maxzhou88 get these hacks from anyway? Other Famiclones that happen to contain them?

(BTW, I'd like to see him dump that 1000-in-1 PVP Station cart)

Edit: Gah, it just dawned on me... the PVP Station Light has got to be from the same manufacturer as the GB Station Light. Interesting that the former included pirated versions of legit games, while the latter was entirely Nice Code stuff... and the former's menu also uses Nice Code's fonts... hm.

I'm pretty sure Nanjing is behind that whole series - they're all on their site here.

one of the earliest was a OneStation lookalike called the "Digital Dragon system" with Nice Code games built in and a generic multicart bundled, but they seem to have abandoned the Nice Code stuff entirely now. They all take the same type of carts (same as the FC-3000/OneStation Elite I think - just miniaturised famicom carts) but I've never seen anywhere that actually sells additional carts separately since the FC-3000 itself went out of production.

there's also this one, the "NJ Pocket" which kind of gives the game away. although that one's 16-bit and it doesn't have a cart slot.

Funny how early on they used "legal" (sort of) games so that they wouldn't get sued by the developers of the games, and for whatever reason decided to use Famicom games instead. Maybe they realised that Nice Code's games flat-out suck or they figured that they already ripped off other video game companies by porting their games to the Famicom. A bit odd that they never used Dragon Co's games on them if you ask me.

I managed to get the 3 balloons on the City Connection hack to pass the level, and see the result:

Now the cars are some sort of beheaded armadillos and the scenario is a glitched Holland. Nice. And now I will stop commenting on this post, don't worry

I'm guessing they weren't counting on anyone passing the New York level then. BTW, what did the intermission screen look like?

[Ninja-Kun]

I don't know, it doesn't shows the intermission with the girl when you warp to another level by catching the 3 balloons. =/
I managed to pass the first level without cheating and here it is: http://i.imgur.com/uu4CU.png
I wouldn't be surprised of the glitches are caused not because of the shitty hack but because they used a bad dump of the game. The version of City Connection included on the Y2K 64-in-1 shows the same glitch even if the game is not hacked (aside of the removal of the copyright notice)

Apparently that intermission glitch is down to multicart makers omitting one of the CHR banks to save space. but yeah, that second level clearly wasn't meant to be seen.. hell if they didn't realise they were breaking the core gameplay mechanic, they probably didn't even realise the game has more than one level. X Racing (the Zippy Race hack)'s graphics are also similarly broken in the behind-view sections.

Supervision's multicarts have both CHR banks and yet the graphics still glitch up. Looking through the ROM of this multicart though, it does look as though they did omit the other CHR bank. Van-1 (and presumably Scoring) has the same problem.
