Update 2020-09-17: Now that Krzysiobal has analyzed 大話三國's circuit board, it turns out that the bank order should be different after all.
大話三國.nes and NintendulatorNRS were updated accordingly.

You heard right: Mega Soft dumps. With some others that lacks the Soft part.

大話三國 (Dahua Sanguo)

We have a completely new undumped game. But before you hyperventilate out of sheer excitement, keep in mind that the game was developed by Mars Productions and published by Yancheng. 大話三國 (Dahua Sanguo) is a turn-based strategy game. It plays like Fire Emblem on the NES, except that enemy troops look exactly like player troops unless they are active. The music is probably the worst you will ever hear on the NES/Famicom, even after factoring in The Terminator. As if that were not enough, any time that a message window or character portrait opens, the current song is restarted from the beginning, to make sure you hear the same two seconds again, again, again, and again. You have been warned.

The game comes is provided as an unmodified ROM file for NintendulatorNRS as well as mapper hacks for the very-similar-but-not-quite-the-same mapper 164, which is supported by better PC emulators, as well as for mapper 241, which even most flashcarts will support. Note that the game saves to EEPROM rather than battery-backed RAM, which only NintendulatorNRS emulates at this time.

夢工場: ドキドキ Panic (Doki Doki Panic, Kaiser version)

We released Kaiser's cartridge conversion of this FDS game almost two years ago here, dumped via Kazzo back then to suit the already-existing emulation code of FCEUX. A collector has now desoldered the mask ROM and read it out directly, showing that the bank order was incorrect in the previous dump. This new dump has the advantage of being 100% faithful to the actual mask ROM content, and the disadvantage of not running in FCEUX and Nestopia Plus anymore, only in NintendulatorNRS so far. Tough luck.

もえろ TwinBee꞉ Cinnamon 博士を救え! (Moero TwinBee: Cinnamon Hakase wo Sukue!, Whirlwind Manu LG25 version)

Another FDS-to-cartridge conversion, manufactured by NTDEC. This conversion is well-done, preserving even the ending. It actually is slightly better than Konami's official "Stinger" U.S. and Japanese cartridge re-release in one aspect: vertically-scrolling stages have no garbage tiles at the bottom of the screen because unlike Konami's official cartridge ports, this bootleg conversion has selectable nametable mirroring.

Bookyman (Mega Soft)

You have seen this game a thousand times probably, but not with its "original" Mega Soft copyright. This cartridge was sold in Brazil by CCE.

Destroyer (Mega Soft)

Another game that has already been dumped in various forms, but again not with its "original" Mega Soft copyright.

Credits to famiac for dumping Moero TwinBee and Doki Doki Panic's mask ROM, fcgamer for Bookyman and NewRisingSun for the emulation.
