Tabor's Dumps

[tabor62gb]

Ankos has already dumped this but from a KongFeng cart. Mine is from a Ka Sheng cart and is different somehow, again. I can never tell what, but it's there. Probably.

If you want to play this ROM, make sure you use the "NT (Makon) new" compatibility mode in hhugboy.

Shu Ma Bao Long 02 5 (數碼暴龍 02 5)

Another game that's actually been dumped many a time as it's been published by so many companies and yet this one is different again somehow.

Shu Ma Bao Long 3: Shui Jing Ban (數碼暴龍3-水晶版)

[tabor62gb]

A weird one, it's Pokemon Platinum a strange hack of Pokemon Gold. There's a "title screen" before the game starts that then goes to the actual title screen, but devoid of any title or other text. Honestly they could have at least just pasted the title over the official title screen but that's just my opinion.

Developer: ???
Publisher: ???

EDIT: Needed to update the name of the file because I accidentally used the wrong character in the title leading to an inaccurate name. It's not Zi Jin, but rather Bai Jin (as in Platinum). 自 (zi) has one more stroke than 白 (bai), whoops! Sorry about that.

Kou Dai Guai Shou: Bai Jin Shen Shou (口袋怪兽-白金神兽)

[tabor62gb]

This is an interesting one, it's a title screen hack of Pokémon Diamond (or Telefang Power technically). It has the weird pre-title screen title screen that then leads to another blank title screen that simply says "Press Start". It doesn't even have the usual voice line that plays, plus it doesn't require you to switch to "Pokemon Jade/Diamond" compatibility mode in hhugboy. Also very sloppy, why is the title screen so far to the right-side of the screen?

Anyhow, this is my last dump until I get any more stuff in. I do have some multicart menus, but I'll leave those on the Discord for now.

This is a weird one, why is it that the title screen says "Vida Translations" but the naming menu says "HC Translations"? The translation itself is (as far as I can tell at the beginning of the game) just HC's. Not really sure what the deal is here, but I'm sharing it anyways just because it exists. I've definitely seen the "CH" serial on bootlegs before but I'm not really sure who produced them.

Another neat detail is that the Pokemon logo is purple which looks pretty cool. I've seen images (as well as seen it on a multicart I can't get it off of sadly) that the Vida version has the standard yellow logo. So whoever made this recolored the logo, and I think it goes much better with Silver's title screen.

I still hope to find a standalone copy of a Vida Translations Pokemon Silver as well as other various Pokemon "translations".

Pokemon Pocket Monsters: Silver

[tabor62gb]

Yeah, it's just Pokemon Blue. They couldn't even put a space between Green and Version, but I guess that makes this "translation" so unique. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know the GS symbol was only used on the North American releases of Pokemon Gold and Silver dating it's earliest possible release to around 2000. It also hilariously asks you to connect to Yellow to catch all 251 Pokemon (which wouldn't be possible even if it were Gen 2 since Celebi was event only in Japan... I think?). Even if you only consider non-event Gen 1 Pokemon, Ekans, Arbok, and Electabuzz aren't in Blue or Yellow making it impossible without using glitches.

Anyways, we know it's from the Sun/Tian Ren publisher due to the "SD" coding on the front and the fact that it does say "SUN" on the back of the PCB. It's kind of just a lazy title screen hack of Pokemon Blue but, enjoy I guess?

EDIT: Slight correction, I had the wrong palette turned on my Pocket while capturing the title screen. I've replaced the title screen image.

I believe this game (and the next) are undumped. Since they're both very similar to each other as well as Metal Slug 2001, I wonder if they were both built on BBD's Platformer Engine. The game had to be overdumped, then trimmed down to 2MB as it was autodetecting and dumping as 1MB causing it not to run.

Anyways, enjoy!

007 Shui Yu Zheng Feng (007誰與爭鋒)

[tabor62gb]

The game starts off with a cutscene starring what looks like Lara Croft to me. It's a very heavily edited down version of the opening scene from Tomb Raider for the GBC. They cut out some of the color, text, and most of the scene in general. Similar to 007, I had to overdump it to get a working ROM.

Yue Nan Da Zuo Zhan 2 (越南大作戰2)

[tabor62gb]

I thought this ROM was broken, but it turns out I just had to edit the header to fix it. Or at least make it work, for all I know it could break later on haha. I'm no wizard though, I literally just opened this and a working Tian Ren Pokemon hack and just copied over part of the header over which worked. And so here it is, Pokemon FireRed on the Gameboy. I have a few more to share, only one of which worked in the initial dump. I did notice the three games with "2009" on the QA sticker didn't work right away, wonder what changed between 2008 and 2009.

Oh yeah it's just a title screen and translation hack of Red really.

Kou Dai Guai Shou: Huo Hong - Jin Qian Wu Xian Zhong Wen Ban V3.0 586 (口袋怪兽-火红 - 金钱无限中文版 V3.0 586)

[tabor62gb]

I know Blue is better because of fixed glitches and updated stuff but I wonder why they didn't choose to use Pokemon Green as a base for this one given the name. It's not like they stopped using Red. I also think this one has built in cheats for money? I can't quite remember but if there is there must be an action you have to take as simply going to the Trainer card only shows the standard 3000 Pokedollars. Similarly to the previous post, I had to edit the header to make it work.

[tabor62gb]

It's Pokemon GreenLeaf! Nah, it's actually Pokemon LeafGreen but it's actually it's Pokemon Green V1.01 built on top of Pokemon Blue again. Makes sense.

I wonder what V1.0 is like.

Kou Dai Guai Shou: Ye Lu - Zhong Wen Ban - Green V1.01 (口袋怪兽-叶绿 - 中文版 - Green V1.01)

[tabor62gb]

A hack of a hack. Or something. It really bills itself as a Pokemon game in a different way, which is extra misleading because every other similar release by Tian Ren has actually been Pokemon but this was a cool discovery. This also needed a header fix to work. Had to overdump it as well as it kept autodetecting as a 64KB file.
