Last post by jpx72 - August 21, 2025, 11:24:31 amHello again! There is this awesome romhack of the original JAP Solbrain that inserts Submarine level from US "Shatterhand" to the rom!
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5215/
But there is a problem because the available codes don't work, can you please help me find a code to keep the power ("blood"?) level constant?
Thank you so much!!!

Actually closed at the moment since he's vacationing, but definitely worth checking out later.

Last post by portnoyd - August 14, 2025, 03:04:16 pmThere's Surugaya but it's not the best place for cart based systems - I've found it better for disc based stuff especially on price.

The problem is no pics of the actual item, however their descriptions are pretty spot on with condition, etc. They also have frequent free shipping days as well. It's an option but not a great one for FC.

Last post by Coops - August 14, 2025, 01:00:10 pmHi there,
Can you recommend any other websites like J4U?
I have placed several orders from them and both the games and shipping are reasonably priced but looking to see if there are similar websites to buy from?
Thanks

Famicom / Disk System / Dark Cave Legend, a New Game f...
Last post by fcgamer - August 09, 2025, 03:06:37 pmHi everyone, I finally got back from walking across Spain, so I thought make a post about what we've been working on recently.
Earlier this year my team created a demo for ByteOff V for a game titled "Kearf ze Haerneakh", a puzzle game. Essentially, the unnamed protagonist must find an exit to leave each stage in a cavern before the time runs out. The demo only had about twenty or thirty stages and there were a lot of ideas left unused. Flash forward to now.
Kearf ze Haerneakh has been turned into Dark Cave Legend, and the game has been fully fleshed out. There are now fifty puzzles to solve, more enemies and treasures to collect, etc. Can you solve each puzzle and make it out before the time (45 seconds) is up? In fact, we had so much fun when designing stages for this that we also prepared a sequel, Dark Cave Legend 2.
Originally the language used in the game was wan khu, a constructed language I had created a few years back in my spare time, hence the name "Kearf ze Haerneakh". Of course this was a bit over-the-top for many people, so we decided to release two versions of each game, one in English and the other in the constructed wan khu language.
In addition, there is a board game made to go with this game release. We are currently waiting for a professional prototype to arrive (should be here in the next few weeks). We took some inspiration from Genpei Toumaden on the Famicom, which included a board game with its release. I know that the board game won't appeal to everyone, so the game itself (as well as the board game) can be backed individually; however, for those who back both the board game and the game, we'll try to do something special (maybe a special packaging that houses them both?) as tbh this is how I envisioned the release during its conception.
Similarly, for those interested in languages and constructed languages, a mini grammar and dictionary for wan khu will be available as an add-on for backers.
If this looks like your kind of thing, please consider backing. If this looks interesting but isn't exactly for you, please consider helping us spread the word anyways. Some of my friends and I had a lot of fun designing and playing through the puzzles and think that as the game is simple to learn, difficult to master, it might be a hit at your parties too!
We've got a lot of other cool projects underway that we have been working on behind the scenes too, so stay tuned!
As always, thanks for the interest and support.

Last post by P - July 27, 2025, 01:34:57 pmI think you have to upload the photo to an image uploading service and then use the "insert an image" tag with the address to the image you got after uploading it.
The forum doesn't have a function to upload an image directly as some other forums may have.

Last post by P - July 27, 2025, 01:28:48 pmI think 12 V may still be fine but it's probably maximum for about how much heat the NES can take and 9 V is the minimum for a 7805. 10 and 9 V are both better than 12 V as the the voltage generator will generate less heat and last longer.
