Yes, it fails on real hardware too.

Tuji's music is slower (at the same emulator settings) than Silent Assault by Color Dreams or Sachen. In fact, Tuji's music speed at 60 Hz is like Silent Assault's at 50 Hz. Hm. The character moves differently in the self-playing demo as well.

Previous dump was hacked. This is the original, operates on mapper 136.

Note that no emulator emulates Mapper 136 yet fully (mapper info), so until that happens, the dump will just show a black screen.

Again, unhacked, operates on mapper 79 which is technically supported on all emus, just poorly on fceux & friends.

Baby Boomer is unfortunately both bad and overdumped. The CHR data between bank 0 and 2 is seemingly identical, but with occasional bit errors. I suspect that the dumping hardware detects the CHR ROM size by dumping CHR banks until it detects a repeat, and if banks that should repeat do not repeat because of dirty contacts, they are then dumped twice.

It is? Damn. I didn't compare the rom size with the color dream release, I guess I should have done so. I'm kind of lazy. I've used the mapper 11 script found in the anago script github.

Baby Boomer was redumped. The ROM should be OK now. (Check first post for the new download link, please delete the previous rom if you kept it).

New dumps:

Toobin (Supercom)

->File<-

Zhongguo Majiang (aka Chinese Mahjong, a translation of Hudson Mahjong to chinese)

->File<-

AV Jiu Ji Ma Jiang 2 (Original Ge De release)

->File<-
(Thanks to NewRisingSun for the dumping script)

This is the original release of the game. It operates on an unemulated variant of mapper 116 (codenamed HUANG-2). This rom file is presented with a NES 2.0 header. At the moment, it is only supported in Nintendulator with a custom mapper set.
The known dump operates on mapper 115, it is a later print made by Ka Sheng.

Regarding mapper 116:
NewRisingSun2
 
Mapper 116, submapper 0: Switching to MMC1 mode does nothing. Use this for all games unless mentioned otherwise.
Mapper 116, submapper 1: Switching to MMC1 mode resets the MMC1 register. Use this for Garo Densetsu Special. (FCEUX' source code claims that Somari-P requires this as well, but it does not seem to.)
Mapper 116, submapper 2: MMC1 PRG register shifted by one to the left.[/quote]
(Submapper 2 is the one of interest here)

Code:
 
  Submapper 0: Huang-1, board config "P": most games unless specified otherwise
   Submapper 1: Huang-1, board config "W": Garou Densetsu Special (Gouder release), Somari (W version), Kart Fighter
   Submapper 2: Huang-2: AV Jiuji Majiang II (Gouder release)
   
   Note: Only Garou Densetsu Special (Gouder release) seems to really need "W" board behavior, in order to not crash at the end of a round.

Kkachi-wa Norae Chingu - Hangul: 까치와 노래친구 (Hicom) - Also known as Magpie and Karaoke Friends.

->File<-
Thanks to NewRisingSun for the support!

This is one of the two Korean Karaoke game. Microphone is plugged in the cartridge and the audio is decoded by the cartridge PCB itself. Microphone audio is outputted via the Famicom out in quite good quality. But microphone support is for another day!
It operates on UOROM. For some reason FCEUX won't play it. Works on Nestopia, Nintendulator.

EDIT: Now in NES 2.0 format.

The reason FCEUX won't play it is that FCEUX always assumes bus conflicts, which original Nintendo UOROM boards suffer from, but the Kkachi board does not. One could use a NES 2.0 header and set the submapper to 1, indicating the absence of bus conflicts. Unfortunately, FCEUX ignores submappers, so doing this does not help either.
