I have a Thunder & Lightning prototype for the NES: https://uploadfiles.io/39slr
I can't seem to get past the first level's title screen, so it may be a bad dump..
Might be worth someone looking into it. |

Also have a Hatris prototype that I don't see any differences from retail, but there are a lot of changes in the code.

It certainly appears to be a bad dump, considering the first 0x4000 bytes of the ROM are repeated across most of the PRG space, and there are only two CHR banks... 
How was this dumped?
Using a Kazzo. Same as the Hatris.
Unfortunately, I no longer own the game so can't re-dump it. I remember having a lot of trouble dumping into, so perhaps one of the roms were bad; this was the ebay listing when I sold it: http://www.ebay.com.hk/itm/262177899897 I don't remember trying it on an NES. |

mmsc: Please be made aware that you have accidentally dumped your Thunder & Lightning prototype as MMC1 instead of GNROM. Effectively instead of 32K bank switching there is 16K bankswitching instead -- thus every bank dumped there is 16K of PRG missing. The dump you have made available cannot be salvaged.
Please reference arantius's plugins at github for updated plugins.
I was surprised that it was not previously dumped as GNROM. From your pictures, it is apparent that the appropriate board is GNROM. Quite the shame that we hadn't caught this sooner before you sold the prototype.
Thank you so much for sharing your games with us; but one less bad dump in the wild also helps. Feel free to ask for more assistance at the NESdev boards if you come across further issues while dumping NES or Famicom carts.
I hope you find this information well and continue to aid in the preservation process with experience to come.
Hi b00daw,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately at the time I was using a reference list for what to dump them with.
The Hatris one was also dumped as MMC1, but should be NROM. |
