CPUWIZ Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I just popped open a box lot of games and found a Bobby Is Going Home cart. So I go to plug it in, expecting it to roll and it doesn't, all other PAL carts roll on my TV so this must be the NTSC version. I find this rather interesting since I have never seen a Bit-Corp cart that doesn't roll. Just thought I'd share this knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Does the game still suck? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 @ CPUWIZ : Cool find. Do you have the capacity to dump it in order to make absolutely sure that it's NTSC? @ Room 34 : I just popped in my CCE version to remind myself what the game was. You’re so right about this one. What a stinker! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I have Bobby is Going Home but I can't tell if it's Bit-Corp or CCE. The box resembles a CCE box and so does the label. There's just no CCE logo on either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as_the_gavel_falls Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I think I have three copies, they all look NTSC to me, no rolling. Here's a bin I just dumped.

Brad2600 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Mine looks similar to this..except that it's in English and uses white text. The text is also a different font I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 15, 2003 Author Share Posted November 15, 2003 The one I just found looks like the PAL version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 So how do I find out which cart I have? It's definitely not Bit Corp. I didn't see anything on GameReset about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 My cart definitely doesn't roll. It could be a Puzzy cart but I have no clue. I wish I had a scan of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be 100% identical to the Rentacom version with the exception of the Bit-Corp logo (32 bytes difference) and it's 100% guaranteed NTSC.

Brad2600 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I dunno if anyone has been paying attention, but do I have either a: 1. Rentacom cart 2. Bit Corp cart 3. Puzzy cart ? All I know is that it came from someone on Digital Press in a lot. It's boxed and I also have a Pitfall cart that is similar. It's NTSC and doesn't actually roll.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Yup, the colors seem to be adjusted to NTSC. Rentacom wouldn't have done it that way, so I assume they pirated the NTSC Bitcorp version but didn't adjust the colors for PAL-60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
