Pocket Games 150-in-1

A Mega Man Rockman-themed multicart using music from Natsume's Dragon Fighter, featuring 150 games of varying quality.

...Did we mention that the menu uses graphics from the Magical Rockman fan-made hack?

Unused Graphics#

Stored in the main menu's graphics is a "PocketGames" title and some tiles that would form a gradient. The used "PocketGames" tiles are in a blue background (color 1), while the unused ones are in a black one (color 0).

Revisional Differences#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: The v1.0 and v1.1 ROMs, while visually identical, appear to be different in their PRG-ROM after comparing them through radiff2.

At least three different versions of the multicart exist, with rather minimal differences between them.

v1.0/v1.1

v1.2

The Mario drawing was changed to a Sonic one. This couldn't have been done for copyright reasons, as the multicart still features Mario games.

v1.0/v1.1

v1.2

The preview for Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain was changed from its gameplay to the intro cutscene, for some reason.

v1.0/v1.1

v1.2

Rather disappointingly, "New Ghostbusters" was replaced with the much inferior "Ghostbusters 2".

The following games are present on all versions, but the v1.2 release removes the copyright info from the games:
