BootlegGames Wiki

DVS Electronic Co. was a publisher of SNES games and manufacturer of accessories.

The likely identity of this company is 生存實業有限公司 Shengcun Industry Co., based in New Taipei City, Taiwan, who owned the trademarks on "DVS"[2], its disc logo[3] and 'Game Genius'[4].

SNES games[]

Many of the SNES games credited to DVS appear to be based on unlicensed games released for the Sega Mega Drive, but DVS is not known to have published for that system.

Credited[]

Name Console Released Description Cartridge No.
A Bug's Life SNES 2000(?) The box and cartridge for what is presumably the original (South American) SNES release credit DVS. A Mega Drive version also exists, which was published by Unite Lucky Technology under their X Boy brand name.
Ayrton Senna F1 Racing SNES 1996? The DVS logo can be found on later reprints of the cartridge (although no info about DVS can be found in the ROM).
Digimon Adventure SNES 1999 - early 2000s Also known as Digimon on the box and cartridge label of the original release. A Game Boy Advance port of this game would be developed by Sintax and released as Digimon 3 - this port would eventually be the basis for numerous low-quality reskinned variants based on different intellectual property, some of which have gained infamy in online gaming spaces.
The King of Fighters '98 SNES Credited on the title screen. Based on the unlicensed Mega Drive game of the same name.
The King of Fighters 2000 SNES 2000(?) Credited on the title screen.
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Gold 2000 SNES 2000? SNES version of a bootleg Mega Drive port of the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 game Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. The back of the cartridge PCB for the original release (going under the name Mortal 2000 Kombat) has a sticker with DVS' logo printed on it. The company is otherwise uncredited on the cartridge label and in-game.
Pocket Monster SNES Credited on packaging and cartridges of original releases and on the game's title screen. A Mega Drive version also exists, which was published by Ka Sheng.
Soul Edge VS Samurai SNES Credited on the title screen. Connected to the unlicensed Mega Drive game Soul Edge VS Samurai Spirits.

Unconfirmed[]

Squirrel SNES SNES port of Gamtec's Squirrel King for Sega Mega Drive.
Pokémon Gold Silver SNES 1999 or later A simplified Game Boy Color port of this game, titled Pocket Monsters Crystal, would be developed by BBD and published by SKOB in the year 2000, which uses versions of sprites from Pokémon Gold Silver (notably for Chikorita) with less color fidelity.
Street Fighter EX + Alpha SNES
Tekken 2 SNES 1996/1997 (undetermined)

"Game Genius" products[]

DVS is credited, with the same logo found on its SNES games, on the "GameGenius V5.0" cheat disc for the PlayStation.[5]

A number of other products were released under the "Game Genius" name, such as Game Boy flash carts, albeit without explicit credit to DVS.[6]
