Awesome, thanks for the clarification. The manual is the second best source for confirming if the rules are different but given you have a cart it isn’t needed. I’ll update the string, about if he dumped it and if he put the rom up anywhere, once I hear back from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyree_Cooper | 720 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 That'd be great, as I don't have access to my cart at the moment. Let me know if you find a dump anywhere else too... I looked a bit but came up with nothing. Also, I'm no expert but the ROM itself could be slightly different because of the different region lockout, or have some different headers/ID, so I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't match 100% the Japanese ROM. I've always wanted to make sure the ROM of HKG/ASI games match those of another region. not sure if someone has verified HKG dumps we could use for checking, i'm sure several peeps around here have more common titles like Super Mario HKG or Tetris ASI.
