Recently I sent some cartridges out fellow BGC member Azathoth to be dumped. Some carts yielded ROMs that did not work in emulators during testing, but one of Azathoth's contacts (Eke) was able to crack some of them. Here is a list of what is included and some notes on them regarding any potential issues they may have

1. Rockman X3: This was dumped from an original Taiwan cart of the game. Specifically the release that says "Rockman X3" on the sticker, not the X3X3X3X3 release. Dumps of this game already exist but which release of the game they came from is unknown. They are suspected of having originated from a multicart but this is unconfirmed. More details on this can be found on BGW. Cracked by Eke as the raw dump does not work in emulators. As always, cracked versions may have inaccuracies to how the game plays on cartridge

2. Sun Green Sichuan Mahjong: Previously undumped. Cracked by Eke as the raw dump does not work in emulators. As always, cracked versions may have inaccuracies to how the game plays on cartridge

3/4. Dance 2000 Volumes  1 and 4: Games intended for use with a dance mat accessory by BBD (same one that made GBC games). None of the four volumes of this were dumped previously. This game however requires the usage of a non-standard controller, so while the game works in emulators, there is no way to play it because emulators don't have support for the dance mat

5/6. NewStar Basic and English Professor: Education software designed around usage of a keyboard controller. Some emulators may support controller options for these but most do not

7. Top Gear 2: A while ago on Taobao I encountered a listing for a Top Gear 2 cartridge. It had the Glorysun logo and the text Shaking on the sticker. The listing specified that it came from the capital, or in other words, Beijing (where Glorysun is from). There is documentation of a "Shaking" controller by Glorysun, so it may be possible that this cart was intended for use with that controller. As far as I can tell though the game appears to just work normally
