Is there any pictures of the cartridges or in-game screenshots? Is the Mario 16 game the caveman ninja hack?

Mario 16 is the Caveman Ninja hack :) Just realised the cart has other Mario hacks on it if you cycle the power. There's also Kung Fu Mario, and another hack from a Japanese game that I don't recognise (Possibly Hook? Not entirely sure.)

Pictures now coming :) If you want pictures from any specific cartridges please ask and I'll take pictures :)

Cool

Bump  :D

I don't think a Zelda 2 cartridge exists, authentic or pirate. Zelda 1's cartridge, CIB (except missing manual), is available here: http://retrogamesjapan.com/shop/fc-nes/legend-zelda-boxed-no-manual-fc-b/ or with the manual here: http://retrogamesjapan.com/shop/fc-nes/legend-zelda-boxed-fc-b/ .

Thanks for the link :)

At the moment I'm trying to hold off of buying games, especially that expensive. It works out a lot better for me to trade something I have for them rather than spending money trying to build the Famicom collection I'd like.

It's a shame if there is no Zelda 2 pirate cartridge, I've heard that there's no Elite for the Famicom too, so I may need to get a NES - Famicom adapter and NES cartridges. I'm leaving Zelda 2 and Elite in my wants for now though in case somebody has them... even cheap aliexpress cartridges would be fine  :D

Oh they exist there just very rare Korean only release. This is mine.

Very interesting! I had no idea such a thing existed. Notice how it has the international name - Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - instead of the Japanese name - The Legend of Zelda 2: Rinku no Bouken. It also appears to have been released the same year or before the official Japanese cart of Zelda 1. Could you provide images of the title screen and (if you have it) the box?

It's the American version but it uses official Nintendo chips. There is a lot of debate about if it's a pirate or official release. These pics of the box aren't mine.

Looks like a pirate to me, for a couple different reasons:

1. It's all in English. The official Zelda 1 cart (though it was Japanese, not Korean) was the NES version, but had Japanese inserted into it.

2. It has TTLP's logo on it, and the "II" looks out of place.

Most likely, someone imported an NES version of Zelda 2 and a SNES version of TTLP (as it was called Triforce of The Gods in Japan), used a printer or something to copy the logo and all the extra text onto the box, and somehow converted 72 pins to 60 without using a converter. I'm not sure if the last part is even possible, but it seems to be the most likely explanation.

Elite was a pal only release and doesn't run right on ntsc systems.

All of my Famiclones are PAL, so being a PAL release isn't a problem - actually finding an Elite cart in the first place is the problem. I don't think Elite was ever a particularly popular NES game, and I'm not sure if it's even been tried running it on a Famiclone.  ???

The NES version of Elite isn't exactly the best port of Elite either, but Elite & FE2 are two of my favourite games, so it'd be a real shame to not have an Elite cart.  :D

That's cool, hadn't thought of that. I have a cart and am patiently waiting for the Retrozone AVS so I can play it here in NA.

You could have someone make a repro on a famicom cart for you. There's no official 60 pin release of Elite so no worries about conflicts there. Should be pretty straightforward.

How much does a custom repro cost? If they're not too expensive, new repros for the Zeldas, Marble Madness, and Elite may be the way to go.

My goal is to have all the games I'd like playable on hardware instead of emulators rather than trying to build an 'original' collection, so the morality of repros debate doesn't worry me too much.

probably $30 or so. donors for that are available and cheap.

Inside uses official ROM chips though, from what I have heard.  Then again, I've seen bootleg games on seemingly official PCBs, so I think sometimes the same factories were making both reals and fakes.

I don't see why it should have Japanese text if it was really an official Korean version. Korean or English yes, but Japanese no.

I mean that since the Japanese Zelda 1 cart had Japanese, the Korean Zelda 2 cart should have Korean. If, that is, it was official, and like I've said, there's a few reasons why I think it's not.

It seems very unlikely for Nintendo to import North American games and use them in Korean cartridges.

are any or all of these still available?

Mario 16, Mario 14, Kung Fu Mario, Super Mario World 9 LOOSE £6.00

Al.

I still have them, they're all on the same cart. I've sent you a PM  :)

Lots more stuff added, pictures added too :)

I am inclined to believe that this is a pirate release, and a pretty brazen one at that. 

First, we have a cart label that takes the exact design of the Zelda 1 cart label, down to the inaccurate copyright date and product code.  Nintendo would not have left something leave the factory like that.  Given that the artwork is on one side of the Zelda 1 label, it would have been easy to past something over it. 

Second, I have seen carts with the proper Nintendo shell and the typical pirate shell.  This suggests a pirate outfit using whatever they could find. 

Third, the manual has Hyundai on it.  We know that Hyundai distributed Nintendo products in Korea.  But Hyundai distributed the Comboy, which was a 72-pin system.  It was not known to distribute Famicom systems or cartridges.  It is known that Hyundai did release both Zelda games in Korea, so the manual could have come from a legitimate Korean Comboy Zelda II or was copied from one.

Fourth, the Link to the Past label and art is very suspicious. 

Fifth, the back label is unlike any Nintendo label and looks cheap.  Nintendo always did their own labels for the Korean Comboy cartridges, why should it have done different here?
