DU Update: If someone asked you what the last game released on CPS1 was during trivia night, you would get the answer wrong
#300259 - 12/08/12 08:55 PM




The rare Capcom game arrived from Japan. It is called Ganbare Marin-kun, the final and probably rarest game released on CPS1. I don't know anyone who had even heard of it until it showed up for sale. It's a medal game but along with Tobikose Jumpman and Alien, the best of them I have seen. The music rips off several things including the Indiana Jones theme song. I passed a few levels and never left the deep blue so I don't know where all the data from the graphics roms is hiding or what but they could carry a lot more than I've seen. They compress down like crazy though so... No idea why they didn't use fewer roms or what exactly they have done. No lack of weirdness from this one, or cuteness... The graphics are very well done, just not much of them. The motherboard is the older, slower type despite this being the last CPS1 game and there is a timekeeper chip installed that I've never seen on a CPS1 motherboard before. I think it just keeps tabs on handing out toys or something though as opposed to the insidious ways they are used on some Konami boards, I am not sure. The service mode has a plethora of crap that looks more like CPS2 than CPS1. Probably the oddest CPS1 game we have gotten yet.

And, great success, a game from Success.



We picked up a very rare medal game called... I don't know what. It's by Taiyojidoki and Success... I'll edit in the name when someone translates it.

Thank You for the info on that Capcom ...thing.
I've upped the title screen of "unknown" medal game, so someone with a elementary knowledge of Japanese language could translate it :

It's called "Kurokuro Pyonpyon"
"Kurokuro" = frog noise in Japanese
"Pyonpyon" = rabbit noise in Japanese

Close, but it's actually "kuru kuru pyon pyon". Note the loops at the base of the 'ru' characters compared where there is no loop on 'ro'.

Yes, it's still a frog noise.

Now that I'm actually sober and thinking about it, "pyon pyon" is supposed to be a hopping noise, most commonly associated with rabbits, but there are no rabbits in this game AFAICT. So if you want a better English rendition of the title it would be "Croak Croak Hop Hop".

No rabbits at all, so the "pyon pyon" could be related to the principal character (frog) jumps?... Or the "hops" of the other little bugs to the right panel?

I assume it refers to the principal character jumping. Also, aren't those supposed to be tadpoles in the panel on the right?

Yes. Bulbous body with prominent eyes and a little squiggly tail. It's a tadpole.

I was wondering about this, because rabbits don't really have a stereotypical noise associated with them. Makes much more sense now.

Is it possible that the TimeKeeper chip has some internal memory that could be used as protection?

The game passes it's initial mem tests, but when the Capcom logo is supposed to be displayed, the game is displaying a "RAM Error". No amount of mapping in the TimeKeeper ram is making it play ball. So I'm wondering if there is any possibility that the TimeKeeper could have ram that is set in the factory?

Thanks for taking the time to dump the RAM. It looks like I didn't actually require it in the end (the game writes over the RAM area, but I have hooked it at up as a default state for now). I haven't taken a look at the inputs yets, but otherwise it looks good. This is FB Alpha for now (it's where I'm most comfortable developing), but I'll port to MAME if nobody else does it before I'm done.
