WarioLand (Hoshi no Kirby hack)

[planet_haxxor]

found a cart today entitled warioland 2, thought it was probably going to end up being just wario's woods but I thought it was worth the gamble. take into account that I had to treck out far to find this game (got some other cool ones too), and it doesn't appear to be a new hack.

downside is that the graphics are corrupted, the wario title screen is visible enough as is the level layout and Wario's sprite, but other things are a bit garbled. hoping that cleaning the contacts will help but I'm not holding my breath.

oh and it's a hack of a kirby game.
Wario's sprite is spot on though.

Could you post some pics of the cart and the gameplay?

Oh i saw that hack once! Yeah the graphics are garbled like that it's normal the game was made like that seriously.

Yeah, I've heard of it. I hate when they do a basic hack of the main character and slap a new name and label on it.

are you saying the graphics are screwed up on all of these carts?
sounds a bit unlikely.

sounds a bit unlikely.

A lot of pirates sound a bit unlikely.

i saw it on nes world and the sprites are not garbled

[Paul-FC]

i found some screen shots!

[keiffer01]

I can't see your screenshots But the games i've seen were all garbled...maybe they released another version without any garbled graphics? And planet_haxxor it really could be likely. Pirates are pirates. Sometimes just random stuff is thrown on a cart. Dream Mary for example has this garbled bar on the right side that changes with the background as you progress, and it was meant to be that way. Maybe it was also meant to be that way with the Wario/kirby game

I can't see your screenshots

what does it  show?

[keiffer01]

Just blocks with a red X in it. Like a corrupted screenshot. But it's in all of them.

how about now?

[keiffer01]

Yep now I see them! Yeah this version doesn't have the garbled graphics I saw on the other two...I wonder if both games I saw were just glitched in the same way, or if there really is a corrected version

Maybe the cart you saw had a shorted CHR ROM address line or two

[keiffer01]

Yeah maybe but I saw two of them and both were the same isn't it a bit unlikely both had the exact same problem?
