Absolutely, I think it's safe to say it's probably impossible for one to compile every single whatever-in-whatever game/system. There's a billion pirate originals, pirate ports, then pirates steal the original from the other pirates, then pirates steal the pirate port of the legit game from the pirates. I think you'd need like 50 people to do this srsly.

Yeah, I kinda want to get it started then open it up to outside contributions so people can just fill in info about stuff they own, I'll never do it all myself. but I keep dicking about with the code to add new features so who knows when that'll be.

Are you going to add this stuff to the BootlegGames Wiki?

Yeah that was the plan - I'll probably write articles on the wiki about some of the more interesting consoles, but I don't think the database as a whole would really work in a wiki format (which is kind of a shame, because it'd be way easier to manage contributions if it did)
also back on the subject of the Overmax, this thing has already eaten through its batteries. Jesus. I wonder if I could track down the AC adapter it uses.

I think as long as the input and output voltage is the same it should work.

Dunno, I didn't measure it in hours. Didn't feel like very long though. Like, for comparison every other Chinese handheld I own is still using its first set of batteries. Even my OneStation which I've had for a few years now.

I still have no idea where to find one like that though, it's not the usual Famiclone adapter.

How many batteries  did it use? 2 or 4?

3. Which is totally an inconvenient number because batteries usually come in multiples of 4. D:

The pirates said, "Who needs convenience?" It's AA batteries I'm guessing right? Or, AAA's?

AAA. I've got some AAA rechargeables kicking around, I'll have to try those. Some of these consoles don't like rechargeable batteries much though.

I'm gonna post a few more impressions of games on here, mainly because I've got something more important to do and I'm procrastinating. These are from the "16 in 1 A" section which consists of Waixing games, or at least games with Waixing's copyright on them. I've seen most of these before on the iSports or youtube videos though.

1. Highway Racing - Road Fighter clone. Pretty much an exact Road Fighter clone, even has the same sound effects.
2. Tank - Battle City clone. Tank moves too slow IMO, otherwise it'd be a decent remake.
3. Shudu - sudoku game. yep.
4. Hitting Mice - you've probably seen this before, that weird game with Donkey Kong (including Donkey Kong music) throwing stones at Jerry to stop him climbing into holes
5. Lawn Purge - obligatory lawn mowing game. OH NO~
6. Kakuro Master - Kakuro game. Dunno how to play this.
7. Edacity Snakes - Snake clone with a Sonic esque title screen
8. Boxes World - Sokoban clone. Pretty good one at that. (you can't really screw up Sokoban but.. one of the other games here nearly manages it)
9. Over Speed Racing - basically another Road Fighter clone but from a pseudo-3D viewpoint
10. Diamond - Arkanoid clone. pretty unremarkable, but decent enough, aside from the annoying "boing" sound effect.
11. Archery - basically just a clone of Track & Field's archery game
12. Bee Fighting - Galaga clone
13. Fish War - kind of a remake of Nice Code's game of the same name, which is basically a hack of their port of Shark Shark for the Intellivision plug & play. No levels or anything though, once your fish is at its biggest you just play for score.
14. Shooting Ballons - as the name (nearly) suggests, balloons float from either side of the screen and you (i'm pretty sure with a sprite ripped from a Pang game) have to shoot them down.
15. MX: Motor Storm - bike racing game. With an intro which isnt in the version on the iSports. This one isn't a Road Fighter clone even though it uses the same sound effects, it's a pretty standard racing game like F-1 Race or something. At least this one has some kind of Mode 7 style effect going on though.
16. Zuma - clone of Zuma. which was a clone of Puzzloop.

Also, worth pointing that in Kakuro the squares in a particular row or column have to add up to the number indicated at the end. Not a very good explanation, but whatever.

Nah, different one. Similar sound effect though.

oh that makes sense. I'm totally too lazy to go back and try it again though.
