Rockman and Crystal
« on: April 16, 2013, 09:29:51 AM »
I've been trying to find Rockman and Crystal for quite some time now, I have been able to get ahold of Rockman DX3 and DX4, but no luck with this one. Could someone direct me to where it might show up again, or could someone please give me the Chinese name?

I've been looking myself, but I haven't found it yet.  Your best bet is to check Chinese sites for it (Ebay as well for an English copy); the game's Chinese is "路克人 ZX4" (translates to Zook Man.)

Yeah, it has copy protection... I did see the blog post (I think) I don't think it said anything we don't know already though. I remember it mostly just talking about the basic enemies and gameplay aspects. I could be wrong.

Thanks for the info, Qiezei. I will keep an eye out for it.

I wish it was easy to find. >_> I have Zook Hero Z, Rockman DX3 but not Rockman & Crystal. It'd be a dream to own it. :D

Yeah, same here. Does anyone know if Digimon Rury or Sapphire had the same programmed copy protection? If so, who cracked them?

AFAIK those were dumped from carts that had the protection already removed.

yeah, I dumped Sapphire and it came from a later print without protection (or at least without very good protection)

Ah, I see. Well, maybe the Chinese version will be dumpable. Thanks for the information.

I think the Chinese version will have copy protection too.  I recall someone trying to dump the Chinese version of Digimon Rury but to no success.  The copies of Rury/Sapphire that were dumped might've been "generic" copies of the game rather than the "official" release (which I have of Sapphire.)

Oh well..... Wait, if that's the case, do you think the title screen hack of Rockman Z called Rockman DX4 would be dumpable? (It was released by Vast Fame, not some random bootlegger, though)

Taizou and Rob/Xanver have tried dumping my V.Fame stuff but they haven't been able to crack the protection.  Li Cheng did release the Chinese and English Zook Z games and the HHUGBoy emulator can supposedly run those even with the protection, so there is hope on that (plus I've got two more V.Fame multis I want him to try out, since he's managed to dump some games from my other two V.Fame multis.)

Oh, speaking of Li Cheng, what boot logo does you game have?  It would show up mainly on OGB/GBC systems (GBA doesn't always show the custom logos.)  I thought at first that it might be a Li Cheng release but the numbering for their releases are DX6 and DX8.

As for the boot logo, it simply says V. Fame, and that confuses me because Li Cheng released Rockman DX3 as well, (I think) and the similar names (like you said) and almost identical cover art lead me to believe it was the same publisher.

Ah, so it is a V.Fame release; just wanted to clarify.  And Li Cheng did release Rockman DX3 (and other Rockman DX games as well) and they have a habit of hacking out copyrights and changing the title screen.
