Am I the only one that finds it weird that most of these pirates are in the American SNES format? There's a lot more Famicom pirates than NES pirates, so I think it'd make more sense for Super Famicom piracy to be a lot more common than SNES piracy.

I guess its down to the popularity of clones more than anything else. Famiclones spread the 60 pin format all over the world, whereas 72 pin games were mostly restricted to countries that saw the official NES (plus Brazil).

but the SNES was rarely ever cloned - its only recently that a few handheld SNES's and multi-system clones have been produced in any great numbers. I guess official US SNESs made inroads into South America but the Euro SNES and Japanese Super Famicom never really took off in the ex USSR and Asia the way Famiclones did there. so most SNES pirates were produced for South America, with the odd SFC format multi or single cart made for Taiwan.

I see what you mean. I'm guessing that Steepler would've probably distributed the SNES (or a clone of it) in Russia had they not gone out of business in 1996. Out of interest, would a Super Famicom pirate work on a PAL SNES?

I think Steepler did distribute the SNES. but it didnt do so well because it was too expensive. Plus Steepler had an official contract with Nintendo for that one so they wouldnt have been selling pirate carts alongside it.

no idea if an SFC pirate would work on a PAL SNES though.. I dunno much about the SNES's lockout system, if its more down to the carts or the console or what.

I found an Adventures of Rookie Cartridge from the SNES central site. It is supposed to be an unlicenced game for the SNES but surprisingly there is no footage of it just this cartridge.

in this page: http://snesorama.us/board/showthread.php?t=35019

There is a full nongoodsnes rom set wich includes two pirate versions of 101 dalmatians. One Says "101 DALMATAS (Peruvian Hack)", and the other says "101 Dalmatas (Unl)". The only problem is that you have to download the complete romset (1,6 GB aprox) to can have this two versions, if i have some time in my home, i'm going to try to download it, or if another good soul want's to download the romset and upload the two games i have no trouble at all   ;)  :lol:

Can't you just download the first part of the romset and do it that way?

oh yeah, the Adventure of Rookie, that comes up every so often - it's not an unlicensed games, its a pirate of Tatakae Genshijin 2: Rookie no Bouken, aka Congo's Caper.

Yeah, but as far as I was aware there was never a dump of that game publically. I assume the dump I got(which game directly from TEG) possibly was a ROM not dumped from cart, while the ones in that torrent might be from a cart someone bought. It's worth checking out since the ROM I got doesn't even work in any emulators, maybe those other two do?

If you've already started downloading the torrent I'd keep at it just to see. Sucks they make you download the whole 1.6gigs rather than separate files, but I guess that reduces the amount of people who don't seed. I hate it when they do that though :p
