Undumped alternate versions of dumped games[]
Name | Company | Year | Links | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Al Basha's Adventures | Unknown | Unknown | [23] | Arabic hack of Super Mario Bros., only known to exist on a single 7-in-1 multicart. |
Asder PC-95 | NTDEC | 1995 | [24] |
Arabic, Polish, Korean and Thai versions are dumped. Translations in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are known to exist and are undumped. The Italian version, bundled with the Genius Star famiclone, is rebranded as Watary PC-99. |
Atari Famiclone ports | Nice Code Software | 2000s | Seen on various licensed plug & play systems. The majority of these games are now dumped, but there are a handful that are not:
| |
Bao Xiao San Guo (Jacks in Tri-Empire) | Waixing | 1996 | [28] |
Traditional Chinese version with older Waixing logo undumped. There is a restoration hack ROM file that is floating around, which may confuse people into believing that this version is already dumped. |
Colosoftware Famiclone ports | Unknown | [30] | Found on licensed plug 'n plays. Three of the five games are dumped with removed copyright information. | |
Desert Storm | Waixing | 1996 |
The available dump comes from a digital download and has likely been modified, as most others from that source have been. | |
F-15 City War | Idea-Tek | 1989 | Idea-Tek, AVE and Gluk Video versions are dumped (Mappers 173/79/36), but the TXC re-release (MGC-006) is not (should use Mapper 132, judging by other TXC re-releases). There is also an Australian HES release, although it is most likely identical to one of the AVE ROM versions. | |
F-22 | Inventor | 1997 | Several hacked versions have been dumped, but the original release from Shanghai Paradise is undumped. It is theorized that it may feature text in the (awfully-animated) introduction cutscene. | |
JP Ronny | NTDEC | 1993 | Single cart release of JP Ronny, credits NTDEC instead of ASDER. | |
King Fishing | Hummer Team | 2001-2002 | A bootleg fishing rod plug & play based off of Sega Bass Fishing. This game has been confirmed to release in 3 variations; the Apollo release, Excalibur release, and a version with no title card (Tsukuda release); the Tsukuda version has been dumped. It appears that the Tsukuda and Excalibur releases are identical, with the only differences (Excalibur logo, measurement system) being toggleable through an expansion controller. The Apollo version is more feature-complete and has not been dumped. | |
Magic Cube | Kuk Je Academy, Sachen | 1991 | Features an alternate opening screen and possibly more? May not exist. | |
靈界護法 (Língjiè Hùfǎ, ES-1099) | Waixing | 1996 | [31] | The existing dump is a downloadable version from Waixing, yet crashes when entering the third level. One user has confirmed that one of several cartridge versions of the game suffers from the same problem. Therefore, a different version of the game, one that does not crash on the third level, needs to be dumped. Given that the existing Mapper 4 version retains a write of $02 to $5000, that version will likely be for Mapper 249. |
Maxi 15 Pre-Sachen release (Australia) | AVE | 1991 | [32] | The only known version of this is based on the US revision with Sachen games replaced. However, another version with them present is thought to exist, but is unconfirmed. |
Monkey King | Inventor | 1997? | Waixing's hacked version has been dumped (or rather, decrypted from their downloadable NES versions), but the original release from Shanghai Paradise is undumped. | |
Puzzle | Idea-Tek | 1989-1990 | Idea-Tek and AVE versions are dumped (Mappers 173 and 79), but the TXC re-release (MGC-007) is not (should use Mapper 132, judging by other TXC re-releases). | |
Street Hero | Daou Infosys | 1992 | [33] | Unreleased english translation of The General's Son. |
Subor x McDonald's | Subor | 2022 | [34] | A 3-in-1 cartridge featuring McDonald's-themed ROM hacks. |
Subor x Toyota | Subor | 2022 | [35] | A 300-in-1 cartridge featuring a Toyota-themed hack of Adventure Island II. |
Tagin' Dragon | Sachen | 1990 | [36] | The dumped versions are the Sachen release titled Colorful Dragon and the Bunch Games release titled Tagin' Dragon, but as this this video shows, there must be a Sachen version titled Tagin' Dragon as well that is not dumped. It will likely be on a 72-pin cartridge. |
The Centenary of Mao Zedong's Birthday (毛澤東誕辰一百週年紀念) | Unknown | 1993? | [37] | Unofficial hack of World Hero(Super Fighter III hack). Despite being developed in China, the text on the cartridge is in Traditional Chinese instead of Simplified Chinese. Dumped, but not shared. |
The Lion King 7: Timon & Pumbaa | Dragon Co. | 199? | [39] | Lion King V: Timon & Pumbaa hack that changes number 5 to number 7 on the title screen and starts from another level. |
Redump needed[]
Some games have already been dumped, but the current ROM images have been identified either as being hacked or as being corrupt in some way, necessitating them being dumped again.
Name | Company | Year | Links | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Dance Y2K | Hummer Team | 1999-2000 | Originally developed for an unreleased (?) "Hot Dance 3-in-1" multicart by ABABSoft, which also included Dragon Running and War of Strike Mouse. Available dump seems to have been created by altering one byte of code in the "Power Joy" versions of Dragon Running/War of Strike Mouse; however, the ROM lacks music, suggesting it is incomplete. | |
爆笑三國 (Bàoxiào Sānguó, ES-1005; rectangular upright box only) | Waixing | 1997 | [40] | All available dumps that display a copyright registration number of 970261 and a static logo have all been hacked for Mapper 15. The game originally ran on Mapper 227 (Waixing FW01 PCB). Note that the earlier version with the animated logo is completely undumped, see above. |
大話西游 (Dàhuà Xīyóu a.k.a. Westward Journey, G-004) | Union Bond/Mars Productions | 2001 | The available dump has been hacked for Mapper 15. The game originally ran on Mapper 164, can no longer save, and freezes when displaying the notebook. A restoration hack has been posted to BGC that attempts to restore the original Mapper 164 code, but that does not remove the necessity for a proper redump. | |
靈界護法 - Shock (Língjiè Hùfǎ , ES-1099; rectangular upright box only) | Waixing | 1996 | All available dumps crash after finishing level 2/on entering level 3. It has been reported that this is bug was introduced by Waixing themselves in the course of some re-release, so the earlier the cartridge that is used for redumping is, the better. | |
梦幻之星 IV (Mènghuàn zhī Xīng IV a.k.a. Phantasy Star IV, ES-1006; rectangular upright box only) | Waixing | 1996 | The available dump is from a mid-2000s re-release using the Waixing FS005 PCB (Mapper 176). The game ran originally on Mapper 227 (Waixing FW01 PCB). | |
三國志: 雄霸天下 (Sānguózhì: Xióngbà tiānxià, ES-1057; rectangular upright box only) | Waixing | 1998 | The available dumps all come from mid-2000s re-releases that were modified to use the Waixing FS005 PCB (Mapper 176). | |
神密金三角 (Shénmì Jīnsānjiǎo, ES-1018; square box only) | Waixing | Mid-2005s | The available dumps have been hacked for Mapper 4 and can no longer save. This version of the game originally ran on Mapper 176 (Waixing FS005 PCB). A restoration hack exists that attempts to restore the original Mapper 176 code, but that does not remove the necessity for a proper redump. Note that the original 1996 release, entitled 東方的傳說 Dōngfāng de Chuánshuō, does not need to be redumped. | |
外星戰士2 (Wàixīng Zhànshì 2, rectangular upright box only) | Waixing | 1996 | [41] | The available dumps have been hacked for Mapper 15. The game originally ran on Mapper 227 (Waixing FW01 PCB). |
岳飛傳 (Yuèfēi Zhuàn, G-006) | Union Bond/Mars Productions | 2001 | The available dump has been hacked for Mapper 15. The game originally ran on Mapper 164, can no longer save, and freezes when displaying the notebook. A restoration hack exists that attempts to restore the original Mapper 164 code, but that does not remove the necessity for a proper redump. | |
西楚霸王 (Xī Chǔ Bàwáng, ES-1066; rectangular upright box only) | Waixing | 1998 | The available dumps all come from mid-2000s re-releases that were modified to use the Waixing FS005 PCB (Mapper 176). | |
櫻桃小丸子 (Yīngtáo Xiǎo Wánzi a.k.a. Chibi Markuko-chan, G-005) | Union Bond/Mars Productions | 2001 | The available dump uses the correct Mapper 164, but has an exorbitant amount of NOP instructions in its bankswitching code, suggesting some kind of hack. |

The English version (titled Digimon Adventure Pocket) currently remains undumped, but a dump of it was released publicly for a short while in 2023 before being removed once it was discovered the current emulation of its copy protection in supported emulators introduced bugs into the game. The Taiwanese release uses a different subtitle in its in-game title and remains undumped.

A hack of Nettou King of Fighters '96 with additional characters from Nettou King of Fighters '95 believed to have been worked on by people related to Vast Fame due to graphics from this hack being buried in the ROM data of their fighting games. A cracked version of the final release by "GYY" is the common ROM for this game. A later revision of the game ripped from a multicart is also dumped. The original copy protected release is believed to look like this.

Magic Ball (魔法球) | Gowin | 1993 | Mono only. A cracked version by "GYY" is the common ROM for this game. A version of Magic Ball ripped from a Vast Fame multicart as well as an official reprint of the game by Gowin have also been dumped.

A version of the game ripped from a Vast Fame multicart has also been dumped. Another English release (the first one was in 1993) exists as well and was advertised on Gowin's website, but whether the game itself differs in that release is unknown. |

A version of Prince YehRude ripped from a Vast Fame multicart as well as an official reprint of the game by Gowin have also been dumped.

Rock Hero Legend 3 / Zook Hero 3 / Super Rockman A.K.A. 路克英雄傳3 (Taiwan release and in-game name), SUPER洛克人 (Mainland China release) |
Sintax | 200? | A Mega Man clone developed by Sintax. Its Taiwanese name shares a similar Chinese name to a series of Mega Man clone games, Zook Hero, by Vast Fame. Currently, it has very little public documentation online in part due to the extreme rarity of both the Taiwanese and mainland releases of the game. The Taiwanese release in particular was reportedly sold as a limited edition, likely making it even rarer. The game has been dumped by a Chinese ROM dumping group, but has not been shared publicly. Two games that are reskins or hacks of this game, New Crazy Arcade (新瘋狂阿給 泡泡堂) and Metal Slug X (越南戰役X: 深入敵後), have been dumped. From the little information that can be gathered on this game (namely, four screenshots of the game that can be found here), Zook Hero 3 had a level select with multiple original bosses and mimics the HUD from Zook Hero 2. It also not only used an edited cutscene portrait of X from the Game Boy Color game Mega Man Xtreme (Rockman X: Cyber Mission in Japan) to represent Zook, but also used an unedited portrait of Iris from the sequel, Mega Man Xtreme 2 (Rockman X2: Soul Eraser in Japan) in a menu screen, suggesting that Sintax was attempting to tie their game into the Mega Man X universe. | |
Sheng Shou Wu Yu - Shen Long Chuan Shuo / Sheng Shou Wu Yu (聖獸物語-神龍傳說) | Vast Fame | 2001 | [90] | A version ripped from a multicart is dumped. The original Taiwanese single cart release remains undumped. |

Shui Hu Shen Shou (水滸神獸) | Vast Fame | 2001 | [92] | The Li Cheng version and a version ripped from a multicart are dumped. A 2002 mainland Chinese release by Kongfeng/Gangfeng is known to exist and is likely dumped on the Chinese speaking internet (The Kongfeng release is identical to the Vast Fame releases, but the ROM data is slightly different from the multicart rip). A release by Waixing in 2003 going by the name 天导108星 is known to exist, and it is currently unknown if it is dumped. The original Taiwanese single cart release remains undumped. |
Story of Lasama (拉薩瑪傳奇) | Gowin | 1993 | [93] | Mono only. The currently available ROMs are from a dump of a later print of this game.

A prerelease build of this game with a level select was found on and ripped from a Vast Fame multicart. |

Photo Hunter | UFO Soft/SuperUFO | 2000 | [152] [153] | Bundled with a mouse that can be used as a PlayStation Mouse for other games, and for the game itself only (determined by a switch in the bottom). Includes three discs with various pictures, the third of which contains images from Pokemon series. Not mentioned on Redump's undumped games list. Discs might have been also sold separately? |
Crazy Hit Disc 1 | UFO Soft/SuperUFO | 2000 | Disc 2 (Crazy Hit 2 on title screen) was bootlegged seperately from it's peripheral, hence the known dumps (may be a reason for redump?); Disc 1 remains missing. Of note that neither games are listed on Redump's missing games list. | |
Taiwan Mahjong Shoubu Qu - Taiwan Mahjong Episode I | Unknown | [154] | Taiwanese Mahjong game, mentioned in Redump's undumped PlayStation Asian games list. | |
Refrain -Ano Yuki no Mukougawa- (Refrain ~あの雪の向こう側~) | Denpa no Kandzume (電波の缶詰) | 2000 | [155] [156] (NSFW warning for second link) | Doujin visual novel originally sold at Summer Comiket 59 (2000). Mentioned in Redump's undumped PlayStation Asian list, but contrary to Redump's listing, it appears to be a "clean" visual novel, based on the lack of R-18 tag in the dumbo001's blog. |
redump.org's missing games list also lists several hentai games released for the system, namely the Hi Kounin series (developed by FSA), Kusairo no Hitomi (developed by Circle RGB, also known as Fushoku no Hitomi; romanization disputed), and Shizuku. Additional documentation of Japanese unlicensed PlayStation titles are mentioned on this compatibility list.

[157] | Port from the Sega Saturn version, mentioned in Redump's undumped PlayStation Asian games list. Apparently has English unlicensed disclaimer at startup. There is a dispute if this is multi-disc or not; Redump and dumbo001 (see Refrain listing above) lists two discs but a floating dump (not submitted to them, as it does not appear to be dumped to their standards) apparently is single disc only. Known to have been sold with the title "Game Girls" in Indonesia. |

GTA: San Andreas (partial Indonesian translation) | Unknown translators | 2004-2005? | A number of character hacks of the game sold in Indonesia appears to be based on the partial translation released around the game's original release; however, the original translation dump without any character hacks appears to be missing. It is possible to reconstruct it by porting the AMERICAN.GXT file from some of the character hacks and then putting it in the unmodified disc image. Not all mission subtitles and system messages are translated. |
