Today we've got a meet-up of ROMs from three vastly different Taiwanese companies. Kaiser, Bit Corp., and... an unamed one that may, or may not, have been J.Y. Company.

If we choose the chronological order, Kaiser takes the lead:
Yume Koujou - Doki Doki Panic

Unlike the readily available FDS port which likely originates from Whirlwind Manu, Kaiser's retains the last cutscene as well as the staff roll.
On top of that, Kaiser's give you the ability to start from any level, as if one had beaten the FDS release with all the characters.
Note: one must press start for about one second to pass the title screen.

Next up is BIT Corp. with their most popular 4-in-1 multicart:
4-in-1 (4602)

Mr. Mary 2 had been extracted and made available as a ROM for years. But let's be honest, it's just not as good without the rest of the games that came on that particular cartridge. So here we are. The cartridges use physical switches to select the game. A dialog box will present you the choices.

And lastly, the one from an unknown publisher:
Super Fighter III

This is the original release of the game. The available dumps on the net are mapper hacks which will fail to pass the included tests left by the developers.

Here's one more dump which I was supposed to include in the previous wave. It's a 5-in-1 (and alternatively a 20-in-1) made by the same developer(s) as Super Fighter III. It contains their four lightgun titles with the addition of Elfland. This cartridge predates the more known one featuring those lightgun games and so seems to be the first release of those games.

5-in-1 1993 Copyright



The two menus can be selected with DIP switches. The 20-in-1 menu adds repeats

The current version of NintendulatorNRS will run this ROM. Refer to this post to obtain it.

Here's a small new batch for this first part of April.

Earthworm Jim 2 (Super Game)

An alternate dump. There are some differences in both the PRG and CHR.

Go! Benny! (Mega Soft)

This is the version found on the single cartridge release of Go! Benny!. Copyrighted to Mega Soft rather than ASDER or NTDEC.
This cartridge was kindly provided by joanna88 to krzysiobal for archival. Thanks to both of them!

Ping Pong

Again but this time it's properly ripped with the sound samples. It will run on both EmuVT and NintendulatorNRS. This game requires some of the VT features, hence why it's presented in the .bin format.

1997 Super HIK 18-in-1 (JY-101)

Yet another J.Y. multicart with the ID in the hundreads. They are quite rare so it's good to cross them off the undumped list. This cartridge has 4 different menus, which can be selected with DIP switches. They each correspond to the consecutives IDs: JY-102, JY-103, JY-104.

Four new dumps today, three J.Y. multicarts and one TXC Micro Genius multicart.
Some J.Y. X-in-1 were poorly manufactured and produced in low quantities, so it's worth trying to preserve them.

1996 Soccer 7-in-1 (JY-014B)

An updated version of 1995 Soccer 6-in-1 (JY-014) which adds a seven entry to the list. A repeat on top of that. Two revisions exist, one retains a Tecmo copyright while the later removes it. They can be differantiated from the cover. The early one having a gold border and the later lacking it.

1997 Super HIK 4-in-1 (JY-099)

A nice 4-in-1 featuring games rarely seen on multicarts. Beware of the typos on the selection screen.

1997 Super 9-in-1 (JY-109)

Another updated version of one of their older multicart known as 1994 Super 8-in-1. The added entry being again a repeat.

2-in-1 Uzi Lightgun

This cartridge was apparently often bundled with the Micro Genius lightguns. It was eventually replaced by Strike Wolf as it wasn't infriging copyrights.
To use the Bandai Hyper Shot for Space Shadow, one has to setup a third controller in the Nintendulator Input menu then needs to use that third controller's Select and Start. Up to walk ahead and B to throw a grenade. This cartridge was dumped by CaH4e3.

January was a busy month. It can be summarized with the classic sentence The more you dig the more you find, pretty much. That's quite vague I know. But you may understand if you keep reading.

So here we have eleven new dumps, presented in alphabetical order.

1997 Super HIK 4-in-1 (JY-095)

1997 Super HIK 4-in-1 (JY-096)

Here are two J.Y. Company multicarts which feature licensed games. They use yet another derivate of the J.Y. ASIC and so have been assigned to mapper 295 (NES2.0).

AV Big Chance

A Taiwanese release of a game known as AV Pachislot (Hacker International, Japan) and Hot Slot (Panesian, U.S.). The data is vastly different from the Hacker release and so suggests that this was recompiled from the original source code rather than hacked from the Hacker release. There's a chance this actually come from Idea-Tek or C&E as the overall PCB design matches. And lastly the capital I in the copyright back this theory as well.

블랙 드래곤 (Black Dragon)

Haitai release of the Color Dreams' Challenge of the Dragon. Like the others: licensed and manufactured by Daou, published by Haitai under the Supercom brand.

少林武者 (Chinese Kungfu)

The previous dump sometime selects the wrong CHR banks during gameplay. Some banks are also duplicated. So here is a good dump of Joy Van's last game. The self-running demo will not work properly on emulators that initialise the RAM to FFh.

Colorful Dragon

Original release of Colorful Dragon on mapper 79. The known dump was likely hacked to CNROM, as it does not support bus conflicts.

盜帥 (Daoshuai - Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu)

The common dump is a mapper 3 hack. So here we have the original version of the game.

Elfland

A single cartridge release of Elfland with the Tiptop logo removed and the copyright updated from 1992 to 1993. Was the 1992 release only seen on a multicart…?

Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!

A redump of the J.Y. mapper hack of Mike Tyson's Punch Out. The previous dump have issues with Von Kaiser graphics.

戰國四川省 (Zhan Guo Si Chuan Sheng - Tiles of Fate)

The common dump was likely modified to work on mapper 132 which is a close but not accurate match of what the game needs to work. Here's the original version which operate on mapper 173. Also included is the C&E release which operate on CNROM.
