Hi-Com The Best Game Collection dumps
![]() Last edited by Bock on Mon Dec 15, 2014 10:10 pm; edited 1 time in total |
![]() Today is the first time we formally release dumps from unlicensed xx-in-1 cartridges! Not that their existence are lacking, but they typically comes with dumping and emulation issues and tend to stay at the end of priority list. I have recently stumbled on a stash of 5 Korean Master System compilations and decided to put some work on them. Adding that to another 4 of the same series I could access in Hokkaido in 2011, we've got a total of 9 cartridges from the same series! Hi-Com The Best Game Collection series for the Samsung Gam*Boy / Sega Master System. Those cartridges were released in Korea by Hi-Com in 1990. As it is often the case with unlicensed Korean products, their packaging are rather bland and inconsistent, making it hard to guess how many variants were released. 3-in-1 menus ![]() ![]() 8-in-1 menus ![]() ![]() Curiously, the 8-in-1 ROMs are built in such manner that they can be split in half and function as two standalone 4-in-1 ROMs with their own menu. I haven't however spotted those released as cartridge in the wild yet, but they might exists. Here's a full list of the games contained in each cartridge: Hi-Com 3-in-1 The Best Game Collection A
- Hang On - Pit Pot - Spy vs Spy Hi-Com 3-in-1 The Best Game Collection B - Great Baseball - Great Soccer - Super Tennis Hi-Com 3-in-1 The Best Game Collection C - Teddy Boy Blues - Pit-Pot - Astro Flash Hi-Com 3-in-1 The Best Game Collection D - Teddy Boy Blues - Great Soccer - Comical Machine Gun Joe Hi-Com 3-in-1 The Best Game Collection E - Ghost House - Teddy Boy Blues - Seishun Scandal Hi-Com 3-in-1 The Best Game Collection F - Satellite-7 - Great Baseball - Seishun Scandal Hi-Com 8-in-1 The Best Game Collection A - Hyper Sports 2 - Champion Boxing - Safari Race - Astro Flash - Monkey Academy - Star Force - Bank Panic - Teddy Boy Hi-Com 8-in-1 The Best Game Collection B - King's Valley - Ghost House - Sega-Galaga - Monaco GP - Magical Tree - Ninja Princess - Satellite-7 - Hang-On Hi-Com 8-in-1 The Best Game Collection C - Athletic Land - Super Tank - Bomb Jack - Hyper Sports - Circus Charlie - Exerion - Great Baseball - Yie Ar Kung-Fu The dumps are currently emulated by Meka 2014-12-15 and by the latest version of Emulicious. More emulators will probably come in support shortly. Technical information about their mapping system can be found in this discussion thread. |

hello everyone. i have one of these carts, but i play it on my sega genesis 3 (pirate with region selector and hz) ,it has 3 in 1 for every menu and 4 menues totallying 12 games. I dont have the original cover because i found the pcb only. I was wondering if the cart itself is a sms native or genesis, and thats why i post this here, the seller gave it to me as a sega genesis game. Sorry if it's not the section for making questions, im noob.
Regards from Argentina. |

as far as i tried, i could extract Monkey Academy and Exerion from a bash script like this: http://pastebin.com/d8aGECqh (and then checking one by one! :D ) Athletic Land i couldn’t (as 16kb or 32kb splits) - perhaps these games doesn’t use memory banks in a sequence (i didn’t try to decompile any of the roms yet) |

You just need to edit the first byte from C3 to F3, Athletic Land (and every other game that I've tried) works then, including on actual hardware with a Master Everdrive. |

i tried now without success (i confess i didn’t try enough) anyway, i guess http://www.smspower.org/Tags/MSXPort and http://www.smspower.org/Tags/LegacyVideo must be updated! ;) |

We are only adding original releases, not homebrew-internet-era hacks there. | |

For Athletic Land, just open it up in a hex editor, copy the first 32kb to a new file, and edit the first byte to F3 from C3.
Maybe we can start a MSX To SMS hacks page. I've had quite a bit of success with nitrofurano's MSX hack transplant. |

Yeah, Athletic Land being ported to SG/SMS format would be great. I really like the Aaronix Cabbage Patch Kids port to the SG-1000. Far better than the Colecovision version.
Are these issues with porting common for Konami games by chance? I hear you can get the DahJee and other RAM expanded games to work on emulators and actual SMS (with Everdrive) by changing file extension. |
