Famicom Yarou 54
« on: August 14, 2011, 07:44:05 PM »
Well, the Famicom Yarou 54 cart CaH4e3 has is finally dumped: http://cah4e3.shedevr.org.ru/dumping/2011/Famicom_Yarou_54_(Unl)%5B!%5D.rar
As expected it has just hacks of old games plus some of Nice Code junk, but some of them were undumped until now so yay :D Some things I noted about this ROM:

* "TNT" (The Bomberman hack) lacks the Continue option that is present on the Arcade Action version. They took it off so nobody can see the end? In any case this is one of the few Inventor hacks that can actually be played without feeling nausea, as the new graphics don't look that bad.
* We finally have a version of the Ninja Hattori-Kun with correct colours, which make us see the main character looks nothing like a Tiny Toon XD
* Why do all the SMB hacks have that fucking awful music?  >_>
* The "Lido" hack of Clu Clu Land was undumped until now. It looks weird but at least they didn't ruin the music.
* Why the pirates used "Gobang" (the clumsily translated version of Gomoku Narabe) if another of the Famicom Yarou carts uses the original version but with an alternate title screen? Weird.
* Finally, I'm surprised the hack of Othello ("Chess"... yeah, sure) was made using the NES version of the game (which has an additional copyright screen which was replaced by just the word "Presents"). Obviously the music is awful but that is expected of these hacks :P

If I remember correctly, there's actually a series of videos of this 54-in-1 on Nico Nico Douga. Anyway, I noticed a few things myself:
- The graphics in Diamond are different to the other versions for no discernible reason.
- Awful Rushing has a very appropriate title.
- Apparently, the version of Russia that has half-decent music is much rarer than the other versions.
- Levin Action is probably one of the few decent hacks on there.
- The PRG data for Hassle appears twice in a row at the start of the file for no apparent reason. The Arcade Action II does the same thing and this is also the case for several of the games on the Korean 105-in-1. :huh:

[/quote]Oh yeah I forgot about that :P Now the game has even less sense. Is they weren't so lazy at least they would change the name to "Flower". And I would love to see that alternate version of Strange Pop Pop / Magic Bubble / Russia / whatever dumped, just for the music it has :P

Just noticed something else, I think the font on the menu is taken from an old DOS OS or something.

I found something slightly odd in the ROM, Bubble and Strafe use the same CHR bank, much like a lot of Action 52's games.

Yeah, I'm guessing they only included those games so that the 54-in-1 wouldn't have any repeats. If it was for copyright infringement, they wouldn't include the awful hacks in the first place. :P

i just found the menu text in the rom, it has one game listed that isn't on here, "Bounce Ball" - maybe its still hidden in the rom somewhere? also there are titles for a bunch of other variant menus like 25 in 1, 29 in 1, 76000 in 1, 9999999 in 1 & 76 in 1 (but only 76 in 1 is with the 54 in 1 title, the rest are further up)

99999999 in 1? That's a lot of crappy games! Although, is there really that many?

I checked, I'm pretty sure there's only one set of Pinball data (the game it's hacked from) and that's for Hoodle.

http://upwap.ru/1680403 - ripped games from multicart.[/quote]Thanks. :thumb: I must point out, though, that I'm pretty sure those games are less than 64K.

The method that I use when ripping games from multicarts easier and faster, but obtained overdumps.
