Here's another 14-in-1 taking inspiration on the Plug 'n Play systems' menu. I've extracted Hudson Soft's Doraemon from a Mapper 45 multicart to use it here. I also restored copyright because why not. Keep in mind that this Doraemon is not hacked into MMC3 (it's impossible btw), but rather modified to treat each bank as a separate NROM in Mapper 45 to replicate GNROM's bankswitching method. To use it in your own Mapper 45 cart, put it in the start of the ROM to make it function properly.

I was always confused by that Doraemon ROM (assuming it as some sort of broken MMC3 derivative), it's good to know how it actually works. I do wonder if, by that logic, it would be possible to convert the three Doraemon levels into separate NROM files (assuming they're confined to 32k chunks of data). I feel like it could take more effort than it's worth, though it could be a funky way around multicart compatibility.

Regarding the CHR-RAM conversions discussed earlier, there are a number of bootleg Contra ports utilizing CHR-ROM, mainly for plug & plays. The only other two bootleg CHR-ROM ports that I've come across are for DuckTales and The Little Mermaid, as well as Inventor's advanced hacks of Rad Racer and 1943 (F-22) if those count. I've attached one of the better Contra conversions below.

Introducing: Video Syntek Tetris Classic Player 7-in-1! The menu is a parody of one of the Tetris Plug 'n Plays. Since NES have fewer palettes than VT369, I have to recreate the menu by hand and ditch the actual Tetris logo (because it looks ugly under NES palette limitations). I initially considered to use the Shiru version for this but I choose Tetris 2 + Bombliss instead because it contains more modes and will save up more CHR-ROM spaces. The Tetris theme arrangement comes from one of the sample songs of Famistudio and is extended by me (the original arrangement only contains the first quarter of Tetris theme). I also attached the FMS file here. This is also my first time to use my Video Syntek branding on my custom multicarts. The branding will be used for my other Plug 'n Play parodies in the future.

I ran out of ideas and decided to retake my Natsume Collection I did last year. I didn't know Palamedes 1&2 were made by Natsume until very lately, so I put them here to pad up the empty space before the menu.

A multicart about cars. I covered the opening of the Haruhi anime (2009 version) for this menu.

(QUICK UPDATE: Fixed audio looping problems on the menu. )
