 5,100 Sega ROMs documented

http://home.iprimus.com.au/the_beaver/sega_mpr.html
I have documented over 5,100 Sega roms, many more to go. I have seen several people on these boards boasting about having a complete SMS collection. Why not put your money where your mouth is and contribute, by unscrewing those carts and documenting the ROM numbers? Check out the link above to see the info I need: MPR, GameName, Game# is all I really need, but if you wanna give me the ROM date and PCB number as well, thats a bonus. Note: I have added a contributer section for credit where credit is due, etc. |

Wow, amazing work. Although some of the MegaDrive titles are kind of confusing and/or wrong probably due to GoodGen's naming nonsense (which by the way is constantly changing).
Shouldn't this be just:
? I mean, when there's only one version released for all territories, why put "(W)(JUE) -PAL", "(JUE) - UK release" or anything at all? |

The reason there are two lines for MPR-13913 is that I have come across 2 different markings...
MPR13913 was used of the UK carts and Megatech MPR13913-F seems to be used every where else. Maybe there were 2 different runs made. Dont know. I put the extra info there in case it proves handy in the future for working out/confirming what the prefixes mean. As for the -PAL-1991.APR : This means that I got the ROM number out of a PAL cart, which I dumped and the ROM contained that date. Again, info that may prove handy in the future.
Because, if I dont record this info, and there is a different version (that is not currently known to be different) it could prove invaluable info. In other words, I am making absolutly no assumptions. (Obvious exception is the SC3000 ROMs which follow a trend, but I marked them as assumptions, just in case) I am personnaly a bit wary of using the GoodTools because of the fact you pointed out, and because they seem to imply a bad dump is a collectable item. Or at least it doesnt spell out that a bad dump is bad and not just the [b] version. I'll also add a bit about the CRCs...you may notice that I use 2 different kinds... 16 bit CRC is the checksum that is recorded in the ROM image 32 bit CRC is of the file (not totally reliable because some dumpers in the early days would mark the info section of the ROM with "Dumped by mRl33+", etc |

Thanks for that overwhelming responce !!!
A big thanks goes out to the 0 people who contributed. Keep it up guys !!! LOL Seriously, though, the site now has a name ... www.gameinfoonline.com Its gonna be a repository for as much game info as I can organise, mainly 8,16,32 bit Sega, though. C'mon guys crack open those carts !!! While you are at it, open up those SMSs and get me the boot roms as well. I am especially interested in boot roms that have Sonic the Hedgehog built in. But all info is welcome. Even if it is already in the list, the romdate may extend the range. |

Hello MadMike,
Heres 1 Response. I have had an SMS 2 mainboard that has been sitting on my desk in a box for some time now. Heres some info about it, it has Alex Kidd: In Miracle World built in. The board was manufactured on the 14th August 1992. The ROM has the following on the top of it. SEGA
MPR-12808 W63 9224E9010 Thats all the info I can get at the moment. If you like I can pull out all my SMS and MegaDrive games and give you a list of all the ROM numbers. I also got a DreamKey today which converts my PAL MegaDrive into an NTSC one. Luckily my brother bought it so now I can play StarTrek on my MegaDrive. Thanks Jacko OH and yes for yesterday HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!! YAY YAY YIPPEE. Now off to play with the talking Boonie VB doll. |

Replying from E-Swat variations topic. Discuss fits here.
1) Is there no known case of collision? 2) How? The gaps in numbering seems enormous. Plus, even with a small gap, there's no way to find out if the ROM was released and/or on which game it is? 3) Point taken (if 1 is correct). Is there a strict 1 to 1 relation between ROM number and data? 1 ROM number - 1 data (common case) >1 ROM number - 1 data (happens from time to time?) 1 ROM number - >1 data (that would be problematic) I have to agree that this information is useful. I will try to record more in my future dumping sessions, but it takes time (and I guess I'll have to find a new SMS-suitable security screwdriver, mine is broken now). If you don't mind, I'd also like in some distant future to have those information copied and recorded on SMS Power database. |

Discardable information on chip

Can you confirm what hold useful information and what is discardable?
Eg, European SMS Monopoly cartridge: CRC32: 026d94a4 ROM: MPR-11270A 831000-20 0A9 BK 8910 Z05 Board: 171-5497 Mapper: 315-5235 135U 8839 Z41 RAM+Battery (didn't record RAM chip info) In bold what I think has importance. Are other ROM chip info useful? Other mapper chip info? Mapper chip date? |

Wow, that's nice :D
I'm guessing you don't use SQL to add the games? I need something like that for a project of mine of which i can't reveal anything... But it has to be SQL. Can you contact me on my email? I'll PM it to you. Also, a small tip: Don't use blue on black. It's quite painfull for some people's (including me) eyes. You do whatever you want with it, i'm just suggesting and i won't die if you don't change it :) Greetz, Steve |

Basically, I am trying to record as much usefull info as possible and I think you've covered it with the bolded stuff (plus the game name, of course). In the case of cartridges, I try to record the product number (4 or 5 digit for SMS) and anything else that sets it apart (batteries, etc) |

Not so far. There are some cases of arcade revisions being marked as 1234, 1234A, 1234B, etc. and in the case of MegaTech, the extra rom always has the same number but with a different prefix.
I was talking about goin in the other direction: Someone has a cart with an undumped rom number, etc.
The vast majority of cases are like this.
It seems that there are very few gaps once you combine arcade/console/etc roms. Having said that, it seems to be that there are 2 major gaps: 2000-4999 : Some arcade romsets have numbers on either side of this gap. I suggest that this was done to prevent confusion with the SMS/MD hardware product numbers (other consoles have much higher numbers, Saturn = 80xxx, 32X=84xxx, etc) 8000-9999 : Not confirmed, but seems to be a gap. Purhaps Sega wanted to avoid confusion with the romdates.
Not many cases of this and where it does happen, there are prefixes to distinguish.
With proper kudos and links, I am sure we can make something happen. One suggestion would be to include the rom number in the filename of a dumped file... The Ninja.10392.sms The Ninja.11046.sms |

Game Box - Série Esportes
Board Type: 171-6424C (C) 1993 Sega
Chips: U1. 315-5365 (memory mapper chip) U2. MPR-18796 (standard ROM without built-in mapper) U3. 74HC163 U4. 74HC04 U5. 74HC08 U6. 74HC32 
This is an unsual case because it is a multi-game cartridge, with these extra chips to give the game-switching logic (upper two address lines cycling between 00 / 10 / 11 on each reset). |

Kinda relevant bump.
I've just opened a MD Sonic 1 cartridge and got a different chip than the one you guys have documented here: MPR-13913-F 834200A MD Sonic The Hedgehog Mine says:
It seems to be of the same kind than Jacko's Alex Kidd (mentioned in a previous post), and it has two circles on the sides of the print instead of one in the middle. I'm gonna try to get it dumped using a chip reader/writer, but since this chip seems to come from SEGA itself, I doubt the program it uses will recognize it (unless it's just a common chip in disguise). Any ideas? |

|
| With the same MPR number (not suffix), it'll be the same data inside. Yours looks like it has no suffix (W33 means it was made in week 33, I think) and is a different chip type, but that's just because the chip itself was made by a different manufacturer. It's highly likely to have the same pinout as any other ROM chip. | |
|
|
|
|
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 3:14 pm
|
| So, could it be dumped fine by just telling the program it's a Fujitsu with 40 pins or something? | |
|
|
|

Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 3:48 pm
|
| Best ask someone who's dumped MD carts :) My point was that chances are, the board's the same and the two variants are pin-compatible. | |
|

| What's the manufacturer and model for the normal SMS ROMs with 40 pins? I can try using those specifications to see if it works. | |
|
|
|
|
Posted: Wed Jun 14, 2006 4:19 pm

I am pretty sure that the W33 in this case would be either the chip type or a batch number. The rom date here is the beginning of the 3rd line 9148..., meaning "week 48 of 1991". |

Those German-boxedgames are interesting, they are very early releases. As you can see on the dumping logs, the german version contains the same data as the Japanese version. However, if you look at ROM ID, it collide with the US version. I have both versions here and they have same ROM ID although the ROM content is different. The European version however has an updated ID. PS: As a reminder, I'm posting my dumping logs here. Some have ROM/board information. |

thats a coincidence, I just started to dump my whole collection a couple of days ago and noticed that the German Action Fighter was JP.
Also noticed the Alex Kidd store demo cart is V1 and not V0 as I would have expected it to be (?). Should I be opening each cart aswell to record the numbers? :/ might take longer than I was hoping, plus i'l need to buy one of those special tools.. |

Interesting! Are you using a SMS Reader that you built? Do you have a SRAM rewritable cartridge as well, or a way to dump those Korean cartridges you have? I can provide you a software. Would you be able to log your dumping sessions? I'd want least Name, Country, CRC32, then on special cases if I have questions we could investigate further. ROM chip and mapper/board informations also welcome but I realize it takes more time (I'm not doing it much myself), and you would not want to do that with cartridges in Japanese format. (I have a tool that output lines in meka.nam format with the CRC32, if you want that) Thanks. |

Ok. If you had one, you would have been able to dump the Korean games by yourself.
It's a mecanism that compute a pseudo-unique identifier for a given data, eg, a ROM image. We use them (or other similar hash functions such as SHA) to identify a unique ROM image by its content. When using WinZip or WinRar I think the CRC32 of a file in an archive is displayed.
If you please could publish what you dump (game name, media (cartridge/card), country, CRC32) it could help me to work on the ROM database. If you only keep track of what you dumped next to your collection list, only publishing that would be ok. If I need confirmation of a dump that I don't have the cartridge for, I can always ask you for detailed info. |

I'd forgotten about using the SRAM cart to dump Korean and Japanese carts... I can lend that too if wanted. It requires a Japanese (or Korean) system and one of the gender changers we produced last year, which I can also lend if need be - and of course either opening up the console or violating its virginity and breaking off the expansion port protector.
James, the CRC32 is the number like A12C0192 which the SMSReader software uses to tell if the cart is a "known dump". If you copy/paste the text in the log window, it's almost as good. Alternatively, I can modify the SMSReader software to log CRCs, it's be a quick and easy change. Bock, is there anything else that'd be useful in that log? (MekaCRCs, maybe?) Did you notice all the updates I did a few months back to log things like stuck bits and blank regions? Would it be useful to have it automatically log to disk too? |

Ok I'm grasping the concept of the CRC32, I can copy and paste the text or if you want to update it to show the number that might be better (makes my list look neater) Ive got a korean system (no jap system yet). Ive got 2 gender changers (1 of each type). hadnt bothered using them though as I beleave the korean sms doesnt have FM sound (?) obviously for what we are trying to do here thats irrelevent. |

No! If you have a SRAM cartridge and a gender adapter, you can dump Korean/Japanese cartridges. I have made a dedicated software for that (it's not released but I'm giving copies away, and anyway should take the time to polish and release it).

Site is still down, does anybody has a backup?
I've been thinking about recording production dates and other details from the chips somewhere. SMS 3658f3e0 MPR-10158 Action Fighter [v2] US cart / ROM: SEGA, MPR-10158, 831000-20, 330 BK, 8639 G02 / Mapper: SEGA, 315-5208, 111U, 8638 Z42 / Board: 171-5365-01
The things like "330 BK" and "G02" I'm not sure what they mean really. If we can start recording dates from many people (i have some myself) it would help toward determining rough production dates and rerun of each game. |
