Hi Everyone,
You know the drill... More parts of the collection to sell direct from China. To the best of my knowledge, this title has never been dumped so the only way to play is with a real cartrige.

GENERAL CAUTION: All stock was purchased directly from the store(s) as new. However, we are talking China (Black market) new. That means each unit was probably assembled by hand and imperfections or defects on the case, cartridge, label, and product should be expected. Also note that Chinese sellers tend to talk out of their ass. That means, what they bill as "new", could very well be display models, test units, or whatnot (Sometimes existing save games are present). Unfortunately due to the nature of these items, it can't be helped.
So with that caution aside, although all items were purchased from a store, I will bill these as USED to be safe. They have only been played once by myself to verify they boot/work and that's it. Otherwise, they have been sitting in a box since the day they were purchased. Also, I would mention that due to the age of these products, the batteries for save games might not still hold charge.
Asking:
$39 (No serious manufacture defects outside of manual labor imperfections)
$19 (Some manufacture defects that are more than simple manual labor imperfections - in many cases, this just means a corner of the box is a bit bent, but can also mean more serious cosmetic problems)
Shipping for 1 unit is roughly $10-$12 depending on your location. Payment can be made by PayPal. Unfortunately, due to the nature of these items they are all sold as-is. In addition, to be fair to all users, I cannot mix and match products for quality. All items will be distributed randomly as originally packed.
Thanks Everyone!
NOTE: I will no longer hold items for people. Since there are many people interested in these products, I cannot wait months for payment. Please pay promptly or your item may be sold to the next person in line.
Wow, thats amazing!
I have never heard of such a game.
You have some of the coolest chinese original games I have seen.
just like his Pokemon games for the FC, like the pokemon games was for GameBoy color, but the Companies in china mad the exaclty same thing for the FC!
same with this game, it was for SNES/ GBA, but the chinese company created the exacly same thing for the FC, which it's incritible!
Is it one of those super-de-duper text based RPG's or can English players play without a guide?
I just spent all my money on atari.... Why lord? Why would you do this to me? I need some cash, quick.
Well I didn't play the game in any great length, but picture Zelda: Link to the Past for the SNES and then picture playing that game in Chinese. Could you make due? Perhaps. It all depends. But its not as brutal as playing Final Fantasy or anything like that.
I like how the boxart has absolutely nothing to do with Zelda. :D
Ya, unless you read Chinese and know what it translates to in English (You need video game vocabulary) you'd never guess it. What a big kick in the teeth it would be if you saw it for a deal but passed it up because you didn't realize what it was.(^_^);
Update: All sold out. Thanks everyone!
Wow, in 2 days? Was the entire stock in your picture?
No, there were a few users who deduced these were going on sale, inquired, and placed orders ahead of time which reduced the stock available to the general public. But these are hardcore collectors who really do their homework and make repeat purchases.
As for the game, I suspect my cousin might have more cases of these he didn't find yet. Given the nature of this title, I would think stashing away a bit more than usual wouldn't be out of the question.
Well, be sure to let us know if you get more units!
AMAZING but I'm sure it sounds like crap like those other China pirates, remember Somari anyone?
One thing Chinese pirates aren't known for is their "music" -- if you can call it that. In addition to Somari, the Chinese Pokemon games, while very fun, are generally played with the volume turned off. :P
I think all the hacks play real bad (including SMW) but I like them for the very nature of attempting and showing what a back port MAY have been like.
I've got two of these coming that I'll be selling if anyone wants them, just so you know. I'm surprised it sold out so fast :o
Do you mean, you bought 2 from Trenton just to resell for more? Or will you be matching his price?

No, not two from him. That'd be pointless to buy them form him only to sell for the same price :P You'll see when I set up the thread, I'm HOPING that package is coming today, I was gone for a few hours and honestly have no idea if the mailman passed this block already or not while I was gone...
BTW whoever ends up with a copy of this game should make gameplay videos for those who don't have it. Who knows when this will ever be dumped and it's a really interesting game :)

Oh my god, how could I have forgotten?
I plan on dumping it by the way, soon as I get a copyNES. Maybe then we can fix and re burn it eventually!
Fix? What's there to fix?
I think he might mean like what happened with the FF7 port, a group of people tried to fix up things and polish the game to be a better representation of what it was trying to be.
I'd be curious to know how long the game is. I doubt they ported the entire thing.
hmm this is interesting. I would like to see you make videos on youtube for it.
I dunno, I've read some Chinese guides for it and it seems to go all the way to the darkworld or whatever that section of the game is called.
oh man that would be awesome. I have played through Zelda 3 a lot of times! I would probably know what to do anyways har har har....
Do the guides stop at a particular part (like you mentioned a glitch or something) or does it go all the way. Does it mention if they are using an emulator or a real cart to confirm?
PS: Can you read Chinese? Perhaps if you post the guild I can see how far it goes.

I will if there's a way I can record straight from my analog TV. :P
I already can do sound plugging the AV from my NES straight to my laptop.
I received my copy ;D I've played it for about 15 minutes during my lunch break and I was very impressed. The graphics are very good for a NES game and the controls are not too bad. However, the music is not the best aspect of the game. It has nothing to do with zelda's music. The items are not exactly where you find them in the SNES game. I got a bottle in the basement of the castle. I need to figure out how to save. When you die, you get a big game over screen and the game get stuck there.

No! >:( You spoiled it for me. Why? :(
Why? :'(
I'm glad it arrived ok. If you could kindly update the feedback thread, it would be sincerely appreciated!
Freeze at the game over screen? Are you running a clone or a real Famicom? Because I don't think the development teams were given real Famicoms to use :-) They probably developed the product running on an edutainment machine their company makes.
Anyways, Zelda is old news. Time to bring out the next title!

You MUST make a video for us! :)
He's right, I have the same problem. I gotta play more to figure out how to save, but if you have a save you can just reset and continue anyway. Still odd they didn't fix that.
I think the manual covers saving. I'll have to take a look if I get a chance.
Nope, I just went through the whole manual a few times. I don't see a word about saving anywhere ::) I'll get back to playing it now and see if I can figure it out. I notice there's a mini FAQ up to the first dungeon in the back of the manual :)
I figured out how to save, push start to display the menu and choose the option in the bottom right corner. When you load, you'll continue where you saved. Now, I'm stuck at the eastern palace boss. How the hell do you kill the 4 knights? They turn in circle, but the sword, arrows or bombs don't seem to hurt them.
I'm stuck in the same area. I went all over the dungeon and didn't find anything uncovered. I know it's possible to get further in game though since I see people on the official Waixing board asking for help at Death Mountain, which is much further in game.
If anyone is playing this let us know if you figure it out!
I still haven't passed the eastern palace, but it's possible to beat Agahnim in the castle. He takes tons of hits but he's not too hard. The problem is once he's beat, you go to the dark world as a rabbit. I played for about an hour but couldn't find a way to get back to link. The rabbit can't attack. In the SNES version, you need the orb (found in tower on top of the mountain) to play as link in the dark world. I think it could be a problem with the Waixing version. In the SNES version you need the master sword to enter in the castle where Agahnim is hidden.
Sounds like a mistake on their part for letting you get ahead in the game when you shouldn't.
I think I might try(and use my not so great Chinese) posting on Waixing's board and asking how you beat the boss in the eastern dungeon. Someone must know...
Isn't there some Chinese guide you guys were talking about? If you post it, it probably tells you.
Not that I know of. As I've pointed out, some people have asked questions on the Waixing board, but no one's made a comprehensive guide covering the whole game as far as I know yet.

What guides? Sounds like you looked at some FAQs or something. I guess you really mean just some discussions about the game :-)
Heh, well basically yeah. Posts that discuss one specific problem in the game. More specifically, here:
http://www.waixing.com.cn:8080/dzbbs/thread-3237-1-1.html
Edit: Tried posting to ask for help on their Zelda board but they don't allow people who registered within the first 24 hrs to post :/
Sounds more like one guy talking and no one else offering anything helpful. Some discussion :P
The guy's pissed no one else has played it and someone else is complaining it's too expensive ;D
I know. Its a hoot! :P
I finally beat the first dungeon boss. You simply have to hit the boss 2-3 minutes and each of the 4 knights will eventually die. The last knight will come after link but he only takes 5 hits. You don't see the pendant after you beat it, so don't do like me and leave the room and come back to kill it again. The pendant will appear in the menu. The only bad part is that you need to get out of the palace unlike the SNES version which takes you out to the exit. I think it's a Waixing programming error to be able to kill Agahnim before you get the orb. I found the orb and I entered the dark world as link after I beat the boss.
They sure didn't make that obvious! ::) I'll have to get it out again and try that. If I end up selling both my copies I'll probably buy another copy for myself, this game's more fun and interesting than I expected :P
The guide in the back of the manual says you should get some speed shoes from the old man, then you can get some book in a library you couldn't reach before, though I'm having a hard time finding any library with a book like in the original. Have you found it?
you run into the wall (bookshelf) to knock the book off with the speedshoes ;)
I have a feeling it's back in the village.

Yeah, but in the fc version, you don't see the book on top of the bookshelf in the library. After link runs into the left bookshelf it's added to the inventory. Before I got the boots, I wasn't sure there was a book in the fc version. Also, I noticed dark world level 4 in the SNES version is in place of level 1 in the fc version and level 1 is in place of level 6. I can't believe such a game exists for the NES!

That's actually more realistic. :P
This going to be an interesting game - I've already got my recording hardware set up. ;D
I'm hitting the left bookcase constantly, I'm not getting anything. What's going on? :-[ I can't believe how unresponsive pressing A to dash is also.
Just wondering, Trenton_net, where do you live?
I live in the green pastures of Canada (^_^);
Okay, that's why it's taking so long. :-\ (customs :-\)
Yep. When I get packages from China it takes forever because of customs. I guess because the packages looks like drugs or knock-off pharma products :-/
Seriously folks, we need a video here. :-\
UPDATE: For anyone who still wants a copy of this game it's still not too late. Just send me a PM
with your shipping address and I can have a pseudo-factory/store copy shipped to you ASAP.
I'm a pretty flexible person so remember... You won't know unless you ask!
PS: My flexabiliy totally depends on how honest, reasonable, and quick/responsive you are during communication. Others need not apply.
Anybody else playing this? I beat the boss in the palace(forgot his name) and got into the darkworld, I had previously gotten the crystal ball so I can remain in normal form instead of turning into a rabbit. From here on I'm a bit lost though. I went through the dungeon that's in place of the master sword but the key for the boss room doesn't seem to work. I then went to the dungeon at the lake area near the desert, and got the hookshot there, but no matter what I do I can't seem to use it(you'd usually press select to use items in your props menu...). So after that I went to the desert dungeon in the darkworld, and now I got to the boss but can't figure out how to hurt him. Could possibly just be like the very first boss where you just keep hitting until something happens I suppose. Too hard to not die while doing that though :/

What proof do we need? Look at the leniency of how you spell flexibility. :P
See? That's the spirit! :-)

Yeah, I beat the game last week. Ganon is so easy! I still need an item in the middle of the menu but I'm not sure it really exists. The menu from the manual doens't look like the menu in the game.

It's weird. I didn't have any problems in that dungeon. The boss is located in the big skull head. Did you find the fire wand in the dungeon?

It can only be used at places it needs to be used. I'm not even sure you need to press select to use it. It shoots automatically.

You need to hit him with the hammer (found in the same dungeon). It will break his mask. He takes a long time to kill. Better have some potions.
Maybe you want to write up a whole guide for the game seeing as how your the only one to beat it so far. How long is the game from start to end?
Whoa, well that shoots out what the Waixing board says, they gave me the impression there was a bug preventing the game from even being possible to finish.
And ya a guide would be neat. Possibly not necessary to detail what you do in each dungeon, as in where keys are and what paths to take, as I'm sure that can't be the easiest thing to remember without playing through again. But knowing where to go from one place to another would help a lot :)
Yay! :D
I finally received this game in the mail today. :)
I will post a video of the intro soon. ;)
Too bad I have a drill weekend starting tomorrow. :( Otherwise I'd post more up. :-\
Edit: Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anz5ZqlSBJ8&feature=player_embedded)
The bouncing text in the intro looks so cheesy! :D
Graphics are nice, but the music doesn't fit the atmosphere of the game very well in my opinion.
At least I found the music to be kind of intresting. Although I probably won't say that after hours of playtime. But it does sound better than lots of other pirates that have the most rediculous sounds ever.
I also don't hate it. It's quite good for the console, but it doesn't fit the game. It would have been awesome if they could made the music sound near the original.
I want to record more, but first need to take care of a couple of problems:
1) I can't record more than about 3 minutes. I guess I need a new program. :-\
2) Sound seems to be panned more to 1 channel. I assume this is a stereo thing? ??? I can't set anything in the program. I'm recording straight from the NES AV, which is mono. The video capture device has both jacks. Is there an adapter that merges the two?
So any news regarding the dumping of this? I'm wondering if it's using a unique mapper or anything else that makes it not just a simple case of using any old device to dump it.
