I will take this month    8 BIT XMAS 2009

Ok so that wasn't a proto...

I could imagine playing this one drunk. If only I drank!

Cool game!

I Heart You!!!

Prototype or not, thank you for adding to the monthly ROM release.  I can't wait to give this one a whirl.

Hell yeah, you're the man Brian!!!

Dude, I owe you an email, I'll hit you up soon. Thanks again man, what a cool little game!

Hahahaha!  My God man, you are a Game Genie machine!!!

its what i do for fun

I have some prototype ROM images stored on a hardrive they are commonly available on the internet, but they could be posted here couldn't they? I'm sure not everyone has all of them, or is this strictly for unreleased ROM's from owners of the actual prototype cart?

Just out of morbid curiousity, has the owner of the 1992 (SNES) Campus Challenge and 1994 Powerfest ever put a price one what it would take to get a ROM dump or a repro of these? I can't find anything on them except for: http://www.snesmaps.com/maps/1992... and http://www.snesmaps.com/maps/Nint...

Not to my knowledge.  But keep in mind, the purpose of this thread is to provide FREE rom dumps to the community.  Community rom releases (puke) should be posted in a separate thread.  This thread is about giving back to the community, not pumping it for cash.

In the interest of updating this thread though . . .

The December release is shaping up to be the most exciting to date.  There are two possible releases (both of the same game oddly enough) that will most certainly make some members say "Wow!"  You'll have to wait and see!

First thread I saw talking about rom releases, my bad

No worries. As Matt said, you may start a new thread or visit a place that deals almost exclusively with Community (aka: paid) ROM dumps like http://forums.hidden-palace.org/... but this thread is in place for the exact opposite.

As Matt said, our December release is one to be remembered. I know the delay has been long, but you'll all be pleasantly surprised when you see what we have planned

So.........it's December.......

I will be releasing 2 (sports) sega genesis betas later this month If I can get the tools to dump them. And I might also dump a beta of dino crisis when I get it

Very cool hellfire, love to see those in the future.

Matt and I won't be able to release the ROM we've really been wanting to release this month, but we'll be releasing a different one tomorrow.

Sorry for the huge delay folks, but we finally have a release for you. This month of December MrMark0673 and BeaglePuss bring you: Castelian!



This game definitely has some text/copyright differences, though I haven't played through the entire thing to find other differences.

There is some minor corruption in the form of a few random letters and numbers on the title screen, which is a bummer, but there is hope! I know I dumped the game right, but I also dumped the PRG ROM by itself. Someone who wants to see if the corruption is caused by the PCB being bad can try to create a .nes file with the PRG ROM.

More games to come folks, please enjoy the release and start looking for differences.

Dain and company, think Matt and I can get some of those fancy dumper icons?

the PRG is all FF's ?

Thank you many times over.

Hmm, weird.  I'll re-dump it later tonight when I get a chance, not quite sure what I did wrong.  Thanks for the heads up Ian!

Not a lot of fan fair from Castelian even with known differences, so I decided to kick it up a notch and give you all an early Christmas present!



Now this proto is really special for me for a few reasons.

First, I got it from my good friend Tom sold it to me.  He just became a member here under the name MachineGex.  This guy is honestly one of the best in the hobby and if you haven't had a chance to chat or trade with him, you're truly missing out.

Second, Tom found this proto at the same flea market as the first proto (and my personal favorite released game proto) I ever purchased; Mega Man 2! It was super cool to reunite them and I hope you all enjoy this one as much as I do.

Not sure if there are any differences from the final, but take a peak, have some fun, and enjoy the holidays!

Awsome, thanks for the release!

Wow, sweet... Thanks dudes!
Where would I find the ROM?

the first post has it
im going to download it right now
