Revision as of 16:13, 31 October 2011
- Note: This list is vastly incomplete/imperfect. While much of the information is out there, it hasn't been collected. If you see something wrong or missing, please feel free to add it here, though if it isn't easily confirmable, please provide some sort of proof. Thanks.
ROMs do not last forever — specialized hardware used on some cartridges may last even less time. There is an active community of people interested in maintaining data about dumped ROMs to ensure games are not lost forever. However, some releases are rare. making it hard to track down and dump the ROM (Sansan was this way for a long time); in some cases, this happens to particular revisions of games. Not all dumps are good dumps — overdumping (when more is dumped than the EEPROM actually has and there is wraparound — which could probably have other errors) or bad dumping (when something goes wrong and the data is not bit perfect) can also happen. Finally, homebrew developers are actively looking out to ensure piracy of their games do not happen, and consequently those games also remain undumped, as they have fallen for the completely baseless idea that any proof that a game is dumpable will always, immediately lead to mass piracy that knocks all game sales down to absolute 0; much to everyone's extreme misfortune, they will both actively target ROM dump groups and preservation groups and use hardware mechanisms that are known to guarantee low data retention (for instance, CPLDs that are only known to last ~10 years).

- Note: unlicensed games are listed here, however the list may be very wrong/incomplete and might be removed here for that reason. Don't bother fixing it; there's another list we have that's focused on unlicensed games that will have the necessary information once it's as complete as we are aware.
- Note the contents of this list are based on the no-intro ROM set. When removing or adding an entry from this list due to dump, you may be asked where it has been found. Please leave a note and proof in the edit summary. Furthermore, this list is vastly incomplete, as we still do not have a clear idea as to the nature of Korean, mainland Asian, and Brazilian releases (and the use of (World) by ROM sets makes this more confusing); the unlicensed games on this list might also only represent a small portion of the total.
| Game | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Mega EU BIOS | Bad dump | Sega CD BIOSes are notorious for bad dumps due to various hardware curiosities. Two bad dumps of this circulate; no good dump has ever been made. |
| Outback Joey Heartbeat Personal Trainer special software | Undumped | The unit itself is so rare that we don't even know what that software is called or everything it was capable of! (We only know some details.) |
| Sega Channel program | US dumped, all other regions undumped | |
| XBAND program, all regions | Undumped | |
| GAMES WITH UNKNOWN NAMES | ||
| 2 Games on One Cart: Fantastic Dizzy and Cosmic Spacehead | Undumped | |
| 2 in 1: Psychic Pinball and Micro Machines | Undumped | |
| EXACT NAME UNKNOWN 16 Tile Mahjong II 十六張麻將 香豔美人篇 shi liu zhang ma jiang: xiang yan mei ren pian "16-Tile Mahjong: Sublime Beauty Edition" |
Undumped | Search for any of the names listed here on this page. There are three other porno mahjong games from China that are dumped... none of them have this title screen. |
| EXACT NAME UNKNOWN Imperial Dynasty 帝國王朝 亞瑟傳說篇 di guo wang chao: ya se chuan shuo pian |
Unknown | According to this, the dumped Ya Se Chuan Shuo is an alternate printing with at the least a different title screen. Investigation needed. |
| Advanced Busterhawk Gleylancer | Japan dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Advanced Daisenryaku: Deutsch Dengeki Sakusen | "Rev A" dumped, "Rev 0" undumped | Revision names from no-intro's undumped list. "Rev A" md5sum: d1c8b8474a9c47c5a2457b9549dee728. |
| Andre Agassi Tennis | US/EU dumped, Brazil undumped | |
| ATP Tour | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Australian Rugby League | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt! | US dumped, Japan undumped | |
| Bloodshot | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Bomboy/Explosion Kid | Undumped | Carts do circulate, but a ROM has not yet been dumped. According to this video, the cartridge was packed in with the Dynacom Megavision... Exact name unknown. |
| Bubba'n'Stix | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Cannon Fodder | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Captain Lang/High Seas Havoc/Havoc | US/EU (High Seas Havoc/Havoc) dumped, Japan (Captain Lang) undumped | |
| Captain Planet and the Planeteers | US/EU dumped, Japan and Australia undumped | The JP version might not actually exist — it isn't in the official release list, and there's no info on a possible unlicensed release. The Australian version does exist. |
| Clay Fighter | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Columns Sega Game Toshokan version | Undumped, but probably same from retail | All Game Toshokan ROMs have the same base code from the Game Toshokan cartridge itself, however Columns also received a retail release in Japan. If every ROM version of Columns in the various sources we got other Game Toshokan ROMs from are found to be identical to the retail one but the real Game Toshokan one is different... |
| Daffy Duck in Hollywood | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Davis Cup Tennis/Davis Cup World Tour | US/EU dumped, Japan undumped | |
| The Death and Return of Superman | US dumped, EU undumped | |
| DEcapAttack | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Dick Vitale's "Awesome, Baby!" College Hoops | US dumped, Australia undumped | Unknown if this is the same ROM or not (likely the same ROM considering ohw cheap Time Warner was with the packaging) |
| Dragon Ball Z: Buyuu Retsuden | Japan/France dumped, Portugal undumped | Though the carts were imported it's still best to dump them I guess? What harm could it do =P |
| Dune II: The Battle for Arrakis | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Dynamite Headdy Sample | Undumped | no-intro does list "Dynamite Headdy (Beta);" whether or not these two are the same requires investigation. |
| Ex-Mutants | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| F-22 Interceptor | Dumped — but see description | The list has the additional notes "dump with eeprom reader." This may require some investigation... |
| Feng Kuang Tao Hua Yuan | Possibly bad dumped | The ROM we have does not show Creaton's copyright logo on the title screen (and due to the way the tiles are stored in ROM, the sun on the top left corner is also missing) — the code to load those tiles had the necessary subroutine call replaced with three nops. The ROM header says "(C) WINSEN.Co.Ltd 2001" so it's likely this is a reissue or reprint — investigation is needed. |
| Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge Europe | "Rev A" dumped, "Rev 0" undumped | Revision names from no-intro's undumped list. "Rev A" md5sum: f5cf4a91e074640f45c6396948085ccc. |
| FIFA International Soccer | US/EU dumped; Japan undumped | |
| Flicky | US/EU dumped, Japan undumped | The Japanese release of Flicky was a Game Toshokan exclusive, but every other Game Toshokan game (including Fatal Labyrinth) was dumped, so wtf... |
| The Flintstones (Ocean) | Undumped | Sega Channel release, so the final is likely lost. drx is known to have a prototype. |
| Fun 'n' Games | EU/US dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Galaxy Force II | "Rev B" and some unidentified revision dumped, "Rev 0" and "Rev A" undumped | Revision names from no-intro's undumped list. It is possible the unidentified one is either 0 or A. "Rev B" md5sum: 9fa0649fcb53963a432812254ccb4f02. Unidentified md5sum: 00f475ac5e7a5c2f753bb14ef62a9d98. |
| Garfield: The Lost Levels | Undumped | Sega Channel exclusive version of Garfield: Caught in the Act with extra level(s) that eventually became part of the PC version. More details here — link from 2004 so this is likely lost. |
| Generations Lost | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Go Net | Undumped | |
| Hangman SG | Undumped | So recently released and in such small amounts that ... yeah. The guy plans to make another run, so the eventual number of revisions unknown. |
| International Rugby | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| International Superstar Soccer | EU "Deluxe" dumped, Brazil regular undumped | |
| Jewel Master US/EU | "Rev A" dumped, "Rev 0" undumped | Revision names from no-intro's undumped list. "Rev A" md5sum: 42ec7e0894625345be8021f9d5f5d52f. |
| Jim Power: The Arcade Game | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. This is a prototype of an unreleased game, so a good dump is very unlikely. |
| J. League Pro Striker 2 Sample | Undumped | |
| Junker's High | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. This is a prototype of OutRun 2019, but a good dump may still be very unlikely. |

| Lemmings | US/EU/JP dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Magic 7 Block | Undumped | Exact name unknown. |
| Magic Bubble | Bad dump | This game is so elusive very little information is known about it. It is known that Super Fighter Team now owns its copyright, but exactly what he has done with the copyright is currently unknown (or if he even did release an English version), and may actively prevent even the original version from being dumped. A bad dump of this original version was dumped by drx from a damaged cart sent to him by someone in a package full of unlicensed cartridges of varying quality. |
| Marble Madness | US/EU dumped, Japan undumped | |
| Mega Bomberman | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Mega Games 10/Sega Top Ten/10 Super Jogos | Only 10 Super Jogos dumped | |
| Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators | US/EU dumped, Brazil undumped | |
| Monsters inc. | Undumped | An entry on this page on BootlegGamesWiki (a Wikia) is all that's known about this unlicensed title. |
| Mortal Kombat 3 | US/EU dumped, Brazil undumped | |
| Nagoya Home Banking | Undumped | It is believed the Mega Anser software differs from this. |
| NBA Playoffs: Bulls vs. Blazers Japan | Dumped — but see description | The list indicates that there is a mismatch between the checksums in collector Xacrow's dump and in Cowering's GoodGen set. The md5sum of the ROM in no-intro's set is 97e07d6d00662e1d688229233ececddd, so this may have been resolved. Investigation needed. |
| NFL Pro Football '94 Japan | Undumped | Should not be confused with NFL Football '94 — which is the Japanese name of NFL Football '94 Starring Joe Montana. This is consequently most likely the Japanese version of Madden NFL '94; investigation is needed. |
| Ninja Gaiden | Bad dump | ROM header modified. This is a prototype of an unreleased game, so a good dump is very unlikely. |
| Osaka Bank My Line | Undumped | It is believed the Mega Anser software differs from this. |
| Osaka Bank My Line Demo | Undumped | |
| The Ottifants | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Paperboy | US/EU/JP dumped, Korea undumped | |

| Phantasy Star III | US/EU/JP/BR dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Phantasy Star IV | US/Japan dumped, EU undumped | |
| Pier Solar and the Great Architects | Main ROM undumped; pre-order CD dumped | Released in December 2010, so its developers are trying to prevent piracy. Four revisions are known to exist: EU, US, JP and the Reprint Edition. |
| Pokemon II | Undumped | Unlicensed hack of the unlicensed Harry Potter game — completely different from Pocket Monsters II. |
| Road Rash Japan | Undumped | |
| Shining Force | US/Japan dumped, EU undumped | |
| Shui Hu: Feng Yun Zhuan | Original 1996 version undumped; 1999 rerelease dumped | |
| Shizen Mahjong | Undumped | An entry on this page on BootlegGamesWiki (a Wikia) is all that's known about this unlicensed title. Exact name unknown. |
| Side Pocket | Dumped — but see description | The list indicates that there is a mismatch between the checksums in collector Xacrow's dump and in Cowering's GoodGen set for both the US and Japan dumps. The md5sum of the ROMs in no-intro's set are 213899f86e17e95f41498c0b54d702b0 (Japan)/469e1360eb70879b1039a686be9dfc3a (US), so this may have been resolved. Investigation needed. EU is clear. |
| The Smurfs | "Rev A" dumped, "Rev 0" undumped | Revision names from no-intro's undumped list. "Rev A" md5sum: 4206c52e6e96b6fa301e890e6a9d3337. |
| Sonic 3D Blast | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Soul Edge vs Samurai Spirits/Final Samurai/Shì Hún V/Soul Euge vs Sumurai Spirits | Undumped | This is all that's known about this unlicensed game. |
| Sport Games | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. |
| The Story of Thor Japan prototype | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. This is a prototype, so a good dump is very unlikely. |
| Street Fighter II Dash Plus Japan | Unknown; most likely undumped | no-intro only lists US, EU, and Asia — but at one point Japan was listed along with Asia as the same ROM... |
| Sumisei Home Tanmatsu | Undumped | |
| Super Boy 4 MD | Undumped | Unsure if the ROMs are identical or not — see Phantasy Star above. |
| Super Mario World 64 | Undumped | Reason why undumped unknown. At least two printings are known to exist; whether or not they have any differences remains to be seen. |
| Swamp Thing | Overdumped | No response from owners of this prototype. |
| Syndicate | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
| Tanks: New Battle/Tanks 2in1 | Undumped | Unlicensed hack of a homebrew port of the NES game Battle City. These Russian sites have the only known info. This might not actually exist... someone needs to confirm it :/ |
| Tecmo Cup Japan prototype | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. This is a prototype, so a good dump is very unlikely. |
| Thunder Force III | US/JP dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Tintin in Tibet | Should be redumped from all versions | ROM sets presently use the French name, however the game was distributed using localized names, so this would only serve as verification. |
| ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | no-intro has a JP ROM, but there was no JP release — misnomer? |
| Tom and Jerry: Frantic Antics | US dumped, Japan and Korea undumped | |
| Triple Score: 3 Games in 1/Mega Games I | Europe (Mega Games I) dumped, US (Triple Score: 3 Games in 1) undumped | |
| Valis III Japan | ????? — see description | The no-intro ROM name was changed after the list was made to "Valis III (Japan) (Rev A).md." However, the list says they have 1.1, and are missing 1.0. This might mean 1.1 is Rev A, and 1.0 is another revision. Investigation needed. |
| Virtua Fighter 2 | US/EU/Korea dumped, Brazil undumped | |
| Virtua Racing | US/EU/JP dumped, Korea undumped | |
| Wonder MIDI | Undumped | |
| World Cup Soccer/World Championship Soccer | ????? — see description | The no-intro ROM set has an unidentified revision, a "v1.2," and a "Rev B." However, the list says they have "v1.0," "v1.2," and "v1.3," and are missing "v1.1." Much like with Valis III, this requires investigation... |
| World Cup USA 94 | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | |
| World Heroes | US dumped, Korea undumped | no-intro has a JP ROM, but there was no JP release — misnomer? |
| World of Illusion: Fushigi na Magic Box Japan | ????? — see description | The no-intro ROM set has a final and beta build, however the list says they have "v1.0" and are missing "v1.1." Much like with Valis III, this requires investigation... |
| Wù Kōng Chuán Shuō/Wu Kong Wai Zhuan/Legend of Wukong | Wù Kōng Chuán Shuō/Wu Kong Wai Zhuan dumped, Legend of Wukong undumped | Super Fighter Team recent release; they are trying to prevent all forms of distribution except resale. While the game continues to be sold, the exact number of revisions are unknown. |
| Xin Qi Gai Wang Zi/Beggar Prince | Xin Qi Gai Wangzi dumped, Beggar Prince undumped | Super Fighter Team recent release; they are trying to prevent all forms of distribution except resale (despite having not sold the game in a while). Three manufacturing runs were made; the exact number of revisions are unknown. |
| Zhong Guó Xiàng Qí | Undumped | Rather rare, though copies are known to circulate and screenshots exist. Realtec game, so be wary of its mapper. Actual name unknown. |
Furthermore, the following are on no-intro's undumped list, but the ROMs they have are marked as for more regions than the list indicates, so it is possible the undumped ROMs were dumped and found to be identical to the already dumped ones, unless there is evidence of difference — this requires some investigation. The list is outdated so this could have been investigated already (outdated entries on their list that can be proven easily from the current datfiles are already omitted from this page).
