That mysterious Aladdin 2 cart

[MLX]

Otherwise if he has nothing to test it, you could ask him to throw the cart for free or half the price, etc.

I'm starting to think the games won't work on anything else but GBA/SP because it has no proper header. The DS seems to search for the header, in case you have a game or an expansion pack. That's what could be the problem we're having. As for clones, that's probably because they don't have the same BIOS.. I think.

(Reason I know about the DS thing is because I had a 'DS Fire Link' thing which had an expansion GBA cart to transfer over stuff. Also, I think it's how PassMe works.)

Wrote this guy a message regarding that, not so long ago.

Also, why on Mars he keeps delaying the end of Recca's auction again and again and again? :pandamad:

[brightentayle]

Recca and Ristar SWAGGED.

Also, it appears he has tested the Aladdin 2 cart on both original GBA and GBA SP.

Well, we'll never see any footage of Aladdin 2 then. (but who knows? Maybe another will appear somewhere.)

Well, my Digimon Rury and Sapphire carts died for no reason a while ago, so it's probably just pirates not knowing the GBA well enough.

...Fair enough, even though the Digimon ones are Vast Fame. http://www.gameyea.com/aladdin-2-nintendo-gameboy_p1100.html Oh yeah, here's Aladdin 2 on a US site.

Another update. So, it's still unclear whether he really sent the carts or not, but that's not what I was going to talk about.

After RobGBA got his Donkey Kong 2 cart, he, reportedly, couldn't make it work until he resetted his GBA several times. Well, it seems to me that the seller got stuck into a similar situation, so that's why he thought it was out of order... Yay.

So, the hunt is still on, considering I've missed my chance to rope it out.

[Picrodus]

Well it has turned up again. Just in a place I believe we can't reach.

hmmmm the Super Contra 7 next to it looks interesting as well - its kinda hard to make out but it looks like it says "Jump Technology", which was one of Sintax's aliases..

[Picrodus]

Yeah it does have ACT written on it too. Something I have seen on a lot of sintax's platformers.
