I am not sure were this should be posted.
pic at the bottom. I don't know how to put pics in my post. :(
nothing special, just old-fashioned pirate cart with DIP chips
what was your question?
what are DIP chips? Also when was this made do you think and by what company?
I also can't find any info on this cart. why would that be?
nice photo...
Where have you been 8-bitman? Everybody knows that with pirate cartridges, there's very little chance of getting ANY info at all, you probably won't find anything about company, manufacturing year or whatever of your cartridge. It's a nice cart because it has no black drop-like "globs" (like this Contra (http://bootgod.dyndns.org:7777/profile.php?id=3986)) instead of the real chips (DIP = dual in-line package = a chip with small legs in two "rows" on both sides).
There are some pirates that are widely recognisable by collectors, but you will have to make a better photo of it and have high luck level to get the info you seek.
I am kinda new to the world of pirates this is my first cart like this. I am guess its an old cart but thats just a guess.
If this can be translated then we would lern a lot.
such carts are typical for the mid-nineties
Much better now, how about PCB?
here is my best pic of the pcb.
heres what the chips say.

This one should have extra sound channels MMC3 clone and cart was made in late 92/ early 93.
thanks that's cool to know.
Yeah Mr Freak is right its from 93 all three...well two now that I traded you (also were's my damn feedback!) are from 93 if you really want to know I can ask the guy I got them from but I'm not sure that's really necessary its just pirate cart from China.
Yeah since it's a pirate you can't really trust what is on the label.
I don't read Chinese but by looking on the first title 街頭霸王 it means something like "Street Master" according to a Chinese dictionary so I would suspect that most of the English titles there is somewhat correct.
Googling for 街頭霸王 gives you lots of Street Fighter pictures so I assume it's the Chinese name of the series. Just don't expect a perfect arcade conversion of Street Fighter II ;)
I wanted the red text under the red logo translated because that's the company that made the cart.
If that were in English I could Google their name and find out who they are.
Looks like it says 優良標記 (yōuliáng biāojì) meaning something like "first-rate mark".
It's a bit hard to read though so you might want to double check on the cart that it's the same characters that I posted.
I wouldn't trust that information
thanks its kind of stupid ,but I was interested in what the text on the cart said. Since I can't read Chinese and don't have a way to translate it.
P if you can just give me the Chinese that's in gold that would help me a lot.
P.S. P is right about the Chinese. I Google translated it.
OK tried to translate the rest:
Text with green background in the upper left corner: 書面 shūmiàn (written) 選關 xuǎn guān (choose, relation)
Probably a name or something. Only 書面 is a word.
Text with yellow background: 關關?彩物超所値 guān guān ? cǎi wù chāo suǒ zhí (relation, relation, ?, colouring, concrete thing, surpass, place, value)
No words this time so probably a name. I can't see what the third character looks like though. Maybe you could draw it bigger or something?
Again double check all characters as there are very likely errors.
I think 書面選關 is supposed to mean "selection on-screen", ie advertising that it has a menu rather than having to reset like older multicarts.
"物超所値" google translates to "ultra value" so I'd guess the text above is a similar type of thing.
Its a shame there doesn't seem to be any company name on there, though, I've seen that logo on a few carts and I always wondered which company was behind it.
Hmm the dictionary wasn't to much help then or I just got the wrong characters. Yeah I would guess that 書面選關 means text-based menu or something.
In Japanese 超 is used like "super" so it might mean super valuable item or something. Not the company name anyway...
what about the logo which is above the red text label? it reminds me smthing
That's either the company logo or some other kind of marking. If it is then I guess the company name is 優良標記 (yōuliáng biāojì) or "first-rate mark". Note that the pinyin is for mandarin so if it's a Hong Kong company or something (the characters are non-simplified) the pronunciation would be different.
bump with some carts from my stash where the same logo appeared
Sorry to do an advert, but I see you know some Pirate games on Famicom.
I presented my project on this forum but nobody came to contribute.
This is a video to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Famicom.
As we can present unlicensed and pirate games, I ask you if you are interested by this project and if you can help for some japanese and chinese games.
(and sorry for my poor and bad english)
J'peux éventuellement contribuer sur quelques jeux pirates.
Je t'enverrais un MP quand j'aurais le temps.

no problem. already PM'ed
If I move the cart in the cartige slot on my famicom and hit reset it will be a 3 in 1 instead of a 10 in 1. I don't know why this happens.
