Brikin'ger/Iron Clad Coming To The Wii Virtual Console
- Thread starter insaneben
- Start date
User Newdump from Elotrolado has posted a difference between Xacrow's Rom and the Wii's Rom:
"Por ejemplo en la ROM de xacrow y en la de WII la bios es diferente mientras en una pone IRON CLAD ( Xacrow ) en otra pone BURIKINGER ( WII , PROTO MVS )".
Anyway, can't wait to see this baby burned on some real carts...
Let's see what other "obscure" protos or CD exclusive games will be released on the Wii VC.

a lot of carts will be sacrified soon.. sob. (ok I must admit that a MVS boot with flyers and marquee could be a nice christmas gift...artworks anyone!?)

Well, perhaps if it's done in one of those 100in1 MVS carts no original cart will need to be sacrified.
A shame *cgame* is gone, as he provided high quality insert and sticker with the bootlegs releases.

OK just for reference, the arcade-related art (IIRC Gamest magazine) significantly different from the others:
it says also 「近日アーケードに登場！」
(roughly "in few days* will appear at the arcade!"...actually 13years )
edit:
* ~4.745!

Hahaha!
My spanish is a bit rusty. Does he mean the name in the header/P1 ? Can you post a link to the thread please ?
The thread:
http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_brikin-ger-iron-clad-se-puede-pasar-de-wii-a-rom-neo-geo_1334823_s10
My (Engrish) translation of that part:
"Por ejemplo en la ROM de xacrow y en la de WII la bios es diferente mientras en una pone IRON CLAD ( Xacrow ) en otra pone BURIKINGER ( WII , PROTO MVS )".
"For example in Xacrow's ROM and in WII's ROM the bios is different; while in one says IRON CLAD ( Xacrow) in the other one says BURIKINGER ( WII, PROTO MVS )".

It has the 'BURIKINGER' still in the P1 rom. Maybe if the BIOS region of the machine is Japanese it would show a different name in the settings. I'm not sure which bios Xacrow used. It seems more of a downplaying action, to re-assure himself he has something unique.
MAME devs refer to it as bootleg as well sometimes, but in my opinion SNK would not use a bootleg as a source for production-type software like the WII VC release.
Edit: To see for yourself, open the P1 in hex workshop and look for NUBIRIKGNRE (word swapped rom) or BURIKINGER (raw copy from VC wad.)

Good catch, BBH. What do the lifebars look like in the Wii version? Are they "bars" or "blocks"?
what?
are they saying the wii rom says "burikinger" in soft dip?
the one I've got says Ironclad...
who gives a crap what xacrow's copy says in the title. How can the Wii version be considered a bootleg WHEN THE FUCKING COMPANY WHO OWNS THE IP RELEASED IT.

Just "stringed" the P1 rom for ASCII lines (swapped as usual):
guNuNRBKINIG'RE RINOLCDA ASRUSU
it returns both names, so it should depends from the bios you use, like all the other games (if this was the difference about Xacrow stuff).
Nice find BBH! The ROM bars are the same of the NGCD ver (blocks!) I don't have by hand screenshot of Xacrow proto...blocky bars too?

Yeah, it's been there for some time.
BUT... it doesn't seem an proto, but a bootleg with the Wii rom burned... see description and answer to questions.
Hopefully, the rom will appear on most MVS homebrew makers, and even on those 100in1, at a reasonable price... and not at 80.000 yens.

Xacrow screenshots doesn´t go far into to the game enough to show if it´s using bars or blocks but it gets to show that the level bar has "lv.1" written before it like the wii version and unlike the flyer that doesn´t display this text.
Not unusual to use in development screen shots for game artwork.
The VC release is the MVS version.

If this link is in the wrong- I'll edit it out. But a repro popped up on eBay already. I am glad that I'll be able to play this game on a cab sooner than later- I have a soft spot for Neo Shooties

NGCD exclusives are well and good, but those are games we already are able to play. I'd love to see something unreleased make it onto a collection or as a download. I'm not complaining though. I'm rejoicing about this release.
