SALE: Chinese 245 IN 1 Multi-Cartridge (Virtually no repeat + Game List)

[MS-DOS4]

Hrm... Are there any other hacks on this card other than Giabbit? Or was Giabbit considered unique enough from Super Mario Bros to be included anyway? It would be interesting if someone did a review of the games in this card. I'd volunteer myself since it seems to have lots of interesting items on it, unfortunately real-life is pretty busy for me.

Hmm... I could give it a go. I suck at commentaries, but I might be able to just play the games and record them. Is that something you'd be looking for?

[Trenton_net]

Nah. I'm sure people would appreciate it, but I was thinking much more simpler. Something like what Cheetahmen was mentioning, provided it's confirmed and not speculative (ie. not just looking at the game list names and assuming).

EDIT: I think the games list is out of order compared to how it's sorted on the cart, but it should be all there (245 games).

BTW, I'd like to know what "FMG Pirate" is.

From what I know, FMG is a company that pirated games in the 90s. There are a lot of FDS games that are cart to disk ports created by them.

I'm aware of that, I'm just wondering what the game itself is.

Although this may be a really cool collection of games, be warned that it may not actually work in a real Famicom.  It'd be nice if you included something like this whenever you make a thread.  This does look pretty nice though, and if I didn't already have a Powerpak, I may have tried my luck with this.

why might this cart not work in the famicom?  I was wanting to purchase this cart, but if it doesnt work in a famicom....?  Can I use a converter to play this cart on my top loader nes in america?

[macmoose]

Yeesh. People are just letting FUD and speculation take over. So far no one has said anything about Trent's carts and he's probably sold loads. The only person who had any problems was MS-DOS4 and he admits it was likely his converter causing the issue as without it it works fine. Yo Trent, how many do you have left?

[Trenton_net]

@Chris Leach: Hrm... Well, I've sold many of these recently, as well as previously, and I've had zero legit problems from people. That is, once people eliminate cheap clones, converters, etc, everything works just perfect. If you do have a problem, it will probably be a defective cart (Rare since we test all carts before shipping and pack fairly well). In such case, just send it back and I'll replace it for you. (^_^);

@Macmoose: I don't know off hand, but probably a few left. I suspect that if people who are sitting on the fence (worried about defects and such) went and got what they were wanting, there would be little to non left in stock.

UPDATE: About 5-7 or so left. I made sure to pick up a lot of these since people seemed interested in it.

Be aware - Cart DOES NOT WORK on Sharp Twin Famicom..

This is actually perhaps the first genuine incompatibility issue that's been reported with this cartridge (barring the very slim chance it was damaged during shipping). Given all the compatibility talk, I would like to mention that the main post has already been updated with a blurb mentioning the question of compatibility (to err on the side of caution) as recommended.

@Actraiser: Thanks for the notice. Just as a reminder (given your initial concerns), as I mentioned before purchase as well as after purchase, if the cartridge does not work on your machine you can simply return the game for a full refund should you not wish to keep it.

[Xious]

Please put me down for one and P.M me with an invoice (with P&P).

I'll also do a full compatibility test across a range of systems and report my findings.

If you can put aside an extra one for me as well, pending my investigation, I'd appreciate it. If it works on a normal FC, there is no reason it shouldn't work on a Sharp Twin, so it'll be good to test it out.

For the record, several Chinese games (from different sources) that I own do not work on legit hardware, which is why I'm concerned... Otherwise, I'd've ordered two right from the gate.

I'm also willng to document all the games on it, as I've done in the past.

[franky]

I've done some testing now, and I cannot get it to work on my AV Famicom, all graphics show up garbled. It does work perfectly on my Retro Duo, though.

[NintendoKing]

So essentially its garbled on AV Famicom and also Twin Famicom but works on clones. So does it work on a original Famicom?

If it doesn't work on an AV Famicom, then I really doubt it.

@Cheetahmen - I hate when games only work on clones. Very upsetting.

Same here. My copy of The General's Son has the same problem.
