Recently added GBA dumps

[C. V. Reynolds]

Recently DeriLoko3 added a lot of GBA dumps on the DOM. Where did these dumps come from? Are they from legitimate carts? Are they unhacked/unaltered?

[xuom2]

honestly I don't understand what he is doing. he added n64 archives without adding hashes. i think he has to better understand the interface. i sent him a mail.
same question about NDS z142 and z143

[Collecter]

i herd the gbas are in the goodgba set as for who dumped them i dont know, i tried some of the roms and they seem to be test thingys and some are dumped from a gamecube or whatever

Was he who added the dsi bios?
The 2 nintendo 64 roms had no crc and size but were those legir roms which were missing from no-intro and are they needed? -_-

im very confused after all of those new additions

[Hiccup]

maybe some of the GBAs are from dev kit(s) or they are multiboot ROMs.
multiboot ROMs used to have a dat, btw.

same question about NDS z142 and z143

Those 2 games he hexedit the data in the roms at offset 0200 til 0210 with 00.
That data need to be there in clean roms.

[DeriLoko3]

Hi. Let me describe a few things.

1. No, I did not dump those ROMs, which they were not added into DAT-o-MATIC, until now. I do not know who dumped those GBA ROMs and those N64 ROMs. Those ROMs, which they were never-before-seen, are just posted into random gaming websites, which they are not hacking websites. This includes two Zelda ROMs (They are only big-endian). Let me show you the ROM data.

Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask (Europe) (Collector's Edition)

Code: Select all

Size: 33554431
CRC32: 3bed3980
MD5: 7d55045063cb66ca770d7c64f1b77294
SHA-1: 3522e96ad66991ccb7575b98cb97dbd629e240d1

Zelda no Densetsu - Toki no Ocarina (Japan) (Zelda Collection Edition)

Code: Select all

Size: 33554431
CRC32: 87864287
MD5: ddc81d959f170a593708fad73f7589eb
SHA-1: 2e72e5423fa2dacddb8909e33eb87fa63261610a

2. All those GBA ROMs that I added to DAT-o-MATIC are un-hacked and unaltered. This includes the demos and the Advance Play Edition games. Again, they were never-before-seen. To me, those demos must have come from the development kits. Do you know the Yoshi SDK demo? That came from the development kit.

3. The Korean versions of Pokemon - Black Version 2 and Pokemon - White Version 2 are the things that I was supposed to look at. I was looking around the web to see, if there are more copies of those two games, but there is no luck. So, I decided to find another way to make those two games proper, which is to add the DSi data into the two ROMs. I am not sure, if this might help, but I think that using a hex editor might do the trick.

4. You know those two Zelda ROMs that I mentioned. I was only trying to add the big-endian ROM data, not the byte-swapped ROM data, but it did not work.

You may want to look it up on the Old Computer website or the Iso Zone website.

yes pls can a expert look at the 2 n64 roms if we miss them then add them.

[Hiccup]

Its probably best to make a post here if you aren't sure of the origin.

[Collecter]

if somebody manages to dump the whole dsi bios will the bios be added to encrypted dat or both enc and decrypted?
Are the the 4 bios files we got in the decrypted dat now good and will be kept?

[SysopGrace]

What are "Advance Play Edition" games anyways?
Were these released on some other platform?

[C. V. Reynolds]

I still want to know where the "Advance Play" ROMs came from too. Anyone have any idea?

[xuom2]

from revision history: added by DeriLoko3

[C. V. Reynolds]

Yes. :3

But I mean: Where did DeriLoko3 get them from? I haven't seen the device the ROMs were originally contained on.

[xuom2]

his job is adding obscure hacks that we later remove

[chillerecke]

So I recently fixed and properly documented all those "Advanced Play Edition" (what does that even mean) GBA roms; turns out they were obtainable when playing the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. If you wanna take a look search for "Animal Crossing" in the GBA DB. Anyway, there were several NES ROMs in there as well, and I've added the documentation to the FDS/NES databases.

To fix DeriLoki3's "work" completly I'm looking for the files and the source of the two The Legend of Zelda N64 ROMS mentioned earlier.

Edit: Turns out they were both 1 byte underdumps. Thanks @Hiccup
