I've been playing a lot of original GameBoy games lately.  Pound for pound, I think it has one of the best libraries of any 8 or 16 bit console.  I've been playing Donkey Kong, Final Fantasy Legend,  Operation C, Fortified Zone, Double Dragon 1 & 2, and Cat Trap among others.  There are just tons of cool pick up and play games for it.  I sometimes wonder if devs just had more creative freedom because it was treated like a more limited NES.  Also, I think the fact that it's a handheld forced them to keep things more succinct.  The result was tons of fast action and addictive games that never seemed to ask for too much.

I would urge anyone to at least emulate the system and play around with it's library for a bit.  You won't be disappointed.  I say all this about the GB, and I'm not even a fan of handhelds.

Nice work.  If no one picks it up, you should at least set up an itch.io page for it.

It's the Final Fantasy II of playstation Final Fantasy games.

7/10 It's fun, but a bit over rated IMO.

8/10 It's a cool little game.  Load it to your flash cart and go play it.

It's an awesome console that many people ignored because the controls.

Yes, the power light comes on.

It might still be the power supply.  It puts out both 3.3volts and 12volts.  One of them could be out.

I have a gold N64 that worked for years and now, out of the blue, there's no video or sound at all when I power it on. 

 

I completely cleaned the pin connector as well as where it inserts into the main board.  I cleaned the expansion port connector and the pins on the expansion pack.  I reflowed the solder on the AV pins as well, and nothing.  I'm completely stumped.  I've tried muiltiple AV cords that work on my SNES, so that's not a factor.  

 

Does the power light come on?

I love what Tengo Project has been doing.  I can't wait for this one to come out.

I used to use the gameboy player with custom software, but I switched to misterfpga and haven't looked back.

On the SNES I had Musya, King of Dragons, Shien's Revenge (CIB), Nosferatu (CIB), Earthbound (CIB), Mega Man X2 & 3, and I'm sure more, but my brain refuses to go on.

I said the opposite of what you're saying I said   I said it's because the HiDef mod is installed that the hacked game is working.  I was suggesting trying another un-modded NES besides the one you have to be sure. 

Another way to test would be to try another MMC5 game in your un-modded system.  If another MMC5 game works fine, then the culprit is your hacked game and the HiDef mod is just propping it up somehow.

Console 5 provides good quality caps, and their wiki is a wealth of information. 

I think we're currently in a buyers market.  Unless you need the money I would just hold on to stuff for now.

I think about all the rare games I sold before they were worth anything.  Frankenstein, Sword Master, Little Samson, etc.

You could try contacting the creator and asking if he'll send you a pdf of the English version.  I can send you one if he doesn't respond.

It's just a guess, but it may be a bad transistor or logic chip if works by using them like relays to power the motor.

Your links are broken.  At a guess, I would say the HiDef mod is taking over some aspects of the MMC5 chip.  I know Kevtris emulated some special chips with expansion audio because of the missing pins.  Something similar may be happening here.  If you can get a hold of another un-modded NES to test with, that would probably clarify if it's the cart or the NES.

I want forever games without the story.  The last two zelda games have kind of been this way for me.  I'll get to the end, but won't go to the last boss and beat it.  I just pick it up whenever I feel like running around in it.

It was pretty complete for a hobby project, and the site had even been adding videos to the game descriptions.  I hope you're right about him just being slow to shift servers.

Well, the WHOIS record was updated on 6/17, created 7/24/2005.  It doesn't look like the domain expired and someone snatched it up because, I think, that resets the Created Date, but I could be wrong.

Maybe it was an old hobby project and the guy wants to keep it up but he needs to shift servers, and isn't motivated to be fast about it.

Man that is some impressive work.  I'm glad you documented the mods before ripping them off.

Marketing: "Maybe we shouldn't name our game something no one can pronounce."

Management: "It'll be fine."

Videogame fans: "Muh penis!"

I hope it comes back.  It was a great resource.
