We need friends with the ability to help analyze this circuit board, thank you!

I have already emulated it in NintendulatorNRS, but the common dump (PRG-ROM CRC32 191F7D5E) is hacked and no longer has working ADPCM sound, so I need an unhacked dump to verify and possibly correct my emulation. Please post one if you can.

Currently, this is the only cartridge available, and it's probably the only one in existence.
However, the PROM data chip is damaged, and the PROM data cannot be retrieved.
Very regrettable!
This PROM data  (PRG-ROM CRC32 191F7D5E)  was dumped by TPU back in 2006 and should be unaltered.
Why would you say it has been modified?
 ??? ??? ???

The cartridge shown in the image above is the very one that TPU used back then to dump the PROM data!

Because the code that writes to the ADPCM chip has been NOP'ed out and cannot function. It has been NOP'ed out because the game would otherwise not run in emulators, because it would have waited for the ADPCM chip's "READY" signal. And with all due respect, but tpu is known for modifying dumps, including leaving his signature in the PRG-ROM data of other games. (The attached example, 爆笑三國 - Jacks in Tri-Empire, was hacked from its original mapper 227 to mapper 15 by him, as well. We still don't have an actual mapper 227 dump of that game, either. :( )

Oh, I see! Let me check.
 I think I have some of the original data, but it's incomplete—probably only 512K or 1024K.

About the "Bao Xiao San Guo"----
Back in 2007, I dumped what should be the same game cartridge. However, it was likely a version with a modified game title, not the original release.

I don't have a PRG-ROM CRC32 F0C73FA7, either, so it would be useful, so please post it. :)
This is possibly a bootleg from 振华.

I can't upload attachments here, so I wanted to send the files to your email and have you publish them.
Also, I found the first 512K of raw data for NJ033 and planned to send that along.
But never mind, I apologize for the disturbance!
再见!!!

You cannot upload any attachments here? You have uploaded several attachments to your posts in this thread already. These attachments were far larger than any NES .ROM file. Something is not right here.

The only difference between the two data files is in these 29 bytes.

Excellent! Thank you. I have updated my emulator build to support expansion audio using the correct, attached dump. I have also attached a video file for demonstration purposes.
