Inventor was a Chinese developer of various original games and hacks, believed to be responsible for the majority of hacks found on Famiclones dating from 2000 onwards, such as the Arcade Action II. Its original games often use the Sunsoft sound engine.
Although Inventor itself is believed to no longer exist, many of its games and hacks appear to have passed to other companies, including Waixing, Cube Technology and Nice Code. Macro winners is just a english version of the company.
Other names used by Inventor or related companies include Shanghai Paradise & BBG, although BBG is essentially the same as jungletac software corporation.
Original games
These games, if dumped, can usually be identified by a Shanghai Paradise logo found in the game tiles, although it is rarely displayed. Because the games were published in china only.

A combined game pack with Street Dance and Hit Mouse also came bundled with certain third-party dance pads. The PCM sampled music was composed by vast fame.[1]
