128-in-1 at goodwill
« on: August 12, 2011, 07:26:30 PM »
I was traveling and goodwill shopping, and just generally looking around. I was surprised to find it. I was wondering how rare it is, and I knew it was a pirate game because of it's claims even on the label. It had Pokemon logos on it and I'm wondering if they were real, not that I'd be going back to it because it was 3 hours away from my house. I had spent lots of time on ToRP and well, yeah. It said "no repeat" on it, but you know how pirates are. I can't find any pictures of it but it was yellow and had box art for Pokemon sapphire and Pokemon emerald on it. Just want to know if anyone has heard of it or seen it. Thanks!

It's most likely a multicart full of ancient NES games running on VisualNES.  I have a multicart like that claiming to have Bomberman Max and Rocket Power, but it was full of the typical fodder like Pooyan and Battle City.

As far as identifying multicarts, they're usually pretty random.  Unless they're something like the Silver Version 12-in-1 Multicart, which is an official multicart full of unlicensed titles, they're usually dime-a-dozen generic bootlegs.  If they promise more than, say, 4 games, they're usually full of small-sized, early games like Pooyan, Bomberman, Battle City, Lode Runner, and Bomb Jack.

It might have a small number of actual GBA games, they usually do. then the rest of the space is filled with NES games. I doubt there'll be anything special on there though.. The Pokemon games might be the real GBA versions or they might just be some of those god awful NES platformer hacks.

I highly doubt that is official in any way. I don't think Nintendo would allow some company to make multicarts using other people's games.

LOL the cartridges that website seels with supposedly no repeats at all include some curious "games", like a joypad test cartridge, a 100000-in-1 multicart (which I wouldn't be surprised if it's just the menu), homebrew games and even something called "WWF Tennis" :P
They even list Lunar Ball and Lunar Pool as different games! That's having no shame XD

someone should call the customer service number. oh, and read the "About Us" thing. It says that multicarts as a market are "largely undeveloped". lol founded in 2000?
"Note: If you were not able to find a specific game that you would like to see on a multicart write to us and we might be able to find a cartridge not listed online that has the games you are looking for." wow i feel so special lol
Who'd want to spend so much on a pile of junk in a GBA cart? In this case, it might be more expensive to buy in bulk, depending on the seller.
Lol read the FAQ

There's a lot more homebrew hacks on them as well. :rolleyes:

yeah homemade NES hacks are pretty common on GBA multicarts. i even have a OneStation cart with "Hash Cookie" on it lol.

and sites like that "gameboy-multicarts.com" are the biggest ripoff merchants going. DS equivalents always seem to pop up in Google ads selling either mass produced DS multicarts for 10 times what they're actually worth, or pre-loaded flash carts with a custom selection of games for 10 times what those are actually worth too. I bought a GBC multicart from a site like that way back before I knew any better, paid like £35 for it and it turned up DOA with a return address to a hotel in Thailand. and the previously helpful site owner mysteriously stopped replying to my emails.

Here's a completely obvious answer. And yeah, if I was looking for gba games, I would want the ones on the box. Apparently not the average buyer though.

Q. Do the cartridges always contain the games on the front box ?

A. No, please click on the product description next to the game to see the full games listing. We do not produce the cartridges and have no control over the boxes. We do not want to mislead our customers so we have written out the full games listing for each game cartridge on the product details page.
Oh yeah. And I just have one question for you guys. Q. Will this work on Nintedo DS?
