Collaborative wiki documenting bootlegs and unlicensed games, consoles and hardware, plus frequent developers. It’s my first port of call when identifying bootlegs or hacks I don’t recognize. |
| RndStranger's Famidaily Series |
Micro Reviews |
English |
Famidaily is a micro-review series focused on one Famicom game per day, they’re concise, interesting, and show good quality footage of the games. I’m not as familiar with the NES & Famicom library of games as I am with the GB~GBA; but watching through the whole series helped fill a lot of gaps in my knowledge, and the one-game-per-video format allows me to compare legitimate versions of the games with ones on multicarts, for things such as whether copyright information has been removed/edited, or if sprites have been changed. Great series, really well done, highly recommend for someone interested in the Famicom and it’s release history. |

Great website with a lot of information on bootleg releases, companies, dumps, etc. Also see hhugboy, a GB/GBC emulator which can better handle some bootleg releases. |

Not bootleg-focused, but they do have a couple of pages for unlicensed and bootleg games. Fantastic website with tons of interesting stuff, focused around cut content, prototypes, debug stuff. |
