I saw this 150 in 1 with all Rockmans, Lickle, and other stuff. Wonder if it works on normal Famicom/NES hardware. Too bad a bunch of it is just the same from the 400/198 in 1 carts. On the other hand, no NiceCode garbage! Yay!

I understand the appeal of themed compilations.

But in a post-Everdrive world, what is the appeal in these 150-in-1s and 400-in-1s?

That one is pretty nice for a pirate cart, a replaceable battery and no epoxy.

I can understand the appeal of the 400 (non repeat) in 1 cartridge, which has a wide variety of great games on it.  The price is right, and in many ways it feels a bit more authentic than the Everdrive (something I have yet rarely use).

Likewise, I can understand the appeal of the older multicarts, and the themed carts.  Themed carts provide you with a one-cart experience with your favorite series, and the older multis offer nostalgia (and sometimes great games as well), and also have some history behind them.

Regarding the Aliexpress stuff, a lot of it I don't understand the appeal, but a lot seem to like it so...

For me, these kind of carts used to terrify me for some reason. I got my first 52 in 1 back in 1998 and was fine with it for awhile, until...

One night in the dark, I was looking through a guy's list of games on a multicart somewhere on the web (which I thought was text-only), until I reached the picture at the bottom of a huge image of his cart that had Pac-Man on it and it scared the living daylights out of me, and haven't been able to look at Pac-Man since without reminding me of that night. it's kind of hard to play the new Smash Bros. without directly looking at him  ;)

But now, they don't bother me anymore (except for that Pac-Man image). I find it that they are really cheap and provide some kind of strange therapy for me.

Well, I bought that 150 in 1, so we'll see what it's like when I get it!

Is Mickey 3 the one where you throw balloons at enemies or something else?

I got the 150 in 1 today. Rockman 1-6 work and sound perfect. Rockboard is also included and is the translated version! A few games are PAL format like TMNT: Touranment Fighters and Mario 2.

A few games that I had problems with on the 400 and 198 in 1 work great here! Solbrain and Ninja Gaiden 1 aren't corrupted, Spartan X plays fine, and Panic Restaurant doesn't have the stage clear glitch!

1942 still glitches bad, but works fine on my 84 in 1 Power Joy cart.

I'm just glad to have stuff like Lickle, Dragon Fighter, and Flintstones 2! Now if they removed some of the garbage games and added Ducktales 2, I'd be all set!

overall quality is, well it's a newer pirate so they are light and the plastic is very cheap

the 14 in 1 cart is super light and literally took no force to open the pcb was ok I guess

I don't buy, sell or trade at moment.
But my question is how hackers at that time were able to hack those games?(c)krzy

Here's the list of games from the 150-in-1. Sure they already have a list, but not if the game is NTSC or PAL.

Menu plays Dragon Fighter Stage 1 music during and after a one screen intro with a Sonic drawing and some Chinese text.

Also the menu has a screenshot for each game! How thoughtful!

Other than the PAL games (which work fine, just that sped up music annoys me), the only one that doesn't work right is 1942. Felix the Cat has some slight garbage graphic data in the upper tiers of each level, but it isn't that bad and only 2 tiles vertically. I think Kirby was an experiment, because it also has strange colors here and there. But I already own it, so no big deal. Just be sure to hold down reset and power if playing it to keep your file!

Hi, sorry to bump the thread, I need some help :)

I just got a 150-in-1 multicart from ebay and it has the exact same list of games that DDCecil's has above.

It's a red cart called Super Game 150 in 1: ebay listing (I haven't opened it up yet so I don't know if it has the battery save for Kirby or not.)

Thing is - it's not working on my Famicom at all. I just get a blank screen.

I read here that some of these carts don't work on a real Famicom and that "However this is due to a problem with the PCB design and it can be modified to work.".

Do you guys know anything else I can try? Know anything about this supposed PCB modification? The power adapter I was using at first was less than 850mA and, I figured that was probably the reason the 150 wouldn't boot (even though real Fami carts are fine). But now I've got a 1.2A adapter and still getting a blank screen.

I don't want to open it up because I'll probably damage it and be unable to return it - have never attempted opening a Famicom cart before. But then again, I'm wondering how much cost and hassle it will be to return and if it's worth it.

Thanks.

Hefty price tag.  :o

Nevertheless - try to slightly pull up the cartridge. Don't insert it all the way down. If you get scrambled graphics try again. If that won't help, try this:

Your cart should look like this after the mod: http://jensma.de/pirates/img/gb/lYEa6emIe5bvDCLCxptB.jpg

Yeah I felt sick when I saw I could have got a better one cheaper on the links above. Ah well.

That mod looks pretty easy! Cheers for the pics.

I prised gently at the cart and it basically fell into two pieces without any effort or damage.




Glue everywhere, I guess this is one of the crappy ones. Might order the one linked here instead.

Not sure which pin to bridge, or even if that's my issue.
I did try inserting it halfway, pushing it about, can't get any display at all, had it a week now and tried it a hundred times.

jensma

Mhh, bad luck - it seems the bridge already exists. The pin is at least somehow connected to the TC55V2001. Last tip I got is cleaning the pcb :(
