what was your question?

8-bitman

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?

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) 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.

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.

P

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 (yōu​liáng biāo​jì) 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.
