it will be a hack of another game, I assume Smit just typo'd the post.
I've seen Battle Garegga hacks with a 'Thunder Dragon' title for example, this one might just be a hack of plain old TD or TD2 tho, haven't looked at it.

It was a typo, it's a boot of TD2 where I think they changed the title screen.

In simple words:
Add a "3" in the title and sell how a new game
Is a cheap trick, but the chinese (and maybe other asian developers) made bootlegs before the 2000

So like... people don't remember the pirate FC multicarts and their tendency to add random numbers to game titles?

It's a dumb as hell plan for an operator. The response immediately goes from "oh cool a new sequel" to "ok this guy duped me out of my money, how hard should I kick the cab".

I don't understand putting those bootlegs and hacks into MAME.
I would split MAME into two. 1. MAMEHB > Hacks and bootlegs. 2. MAMERB > The real releases and betas. That just me.
I still using MAME anyway.

It's not hard to understand the logic of putting games in mame that were in arcades but yeah we will always have a percentage of people who hate all bootlegs or hate all of some other genre of hardware and don't want it in "their mame".

yeah, that's people for you.
anyway, swapping the dswb and soundlatch read gets it booting
title screen is hacked as you'd expect
there's some extra code inserted / data modified, not sure what the purpose is, somebody more familiar with the game might notice the changes, they're not as obvious as some chinese hacks.
Shou didn't dump the mask roms, so we're assuming they match. Was made by 'Conny Co. Ltd' in 1996 according to replaced strings in the ROM, even if the title screen still shows NMK.

Sounds like this bootleg of Bombjack twin, but is with different hardware
Bootlegs are a little gem very hidden (in hardware related)

Never underestimate the coin spending power of kids who don't know any better.
