Gotta trot out this April 2017 thread to serve as a reminder or an event that happened before newcomers arrived here and have not seen the old threads before.
- http://www.lucaelia.com/mame.php/2017/The-Last-StarPak-A-Tale-Of-Rare-Cartridges
We got the files for StarPak4 from one of the original game developers. They're files for the proto production cart which used eproms instead of flash roms. So it might be labeled as a proto but it's the same game. -
At the time, in 2017, Keith had made it possible to run StarPak 4 as a prototype at the time.
Eventually on Apr 3, 2024 an actual cartridge was found and eventually supported which then Keith’s contribution from 2017, was recategorized and listed as a prototype alternate rom set as expected.

Starpak 1 is the remaining cartridge needing to be found and supported.
