Help needed in identifying the system

[johnsmith750s]

I have recently bought a Taiwanese MP3/VCD/CD player. The same box can
play games from a CD.
You can see a picture, and some specs at this URL:

I got a CD with some 300 games, and that plays well.
But I was wondering if it will be possible for me to
burn other roms and play in that system.

The system does not need any converting, but takes
games recored in the CD in some particular format.
These look like NES roms converted to some other
format, with VCD style menus added to select one of
those games.
The contents of CD as I see them on my computer
dumped below.
I need help in finding an application which can
convert ROM images into the format used by this system.
Thanks.

I see, thought at first you couldn't play the game disc. Looks neat.
Unfortunately as I have no idea how the thing emulates the NES
console. If the roms on your disc are just unaltered NES roms you
might be able to copy the disc and substitute
your own roms in, renaming them to match what's on the disc... but
that's just a wild stab in the dark. And even if that worked, you
wouldn't be able to create a matching menu for it. Sorry I couldn't
be of more help. You might want to try
your query in Retrogaming Roundtable , there's some very knowledgable
and hardcore collectors there who possibly might be able to assist a
little...

Here's what I'd do.

First, are you SURE they're NES games? I mean, it's very likely but are you sure? Can you compare a game to a real NES, or an NES emulator on your PC (or maybe it's just very obvious if you know your NES)?

The NEWROM directory is obviously the place where the games go. I'd suggest copying the whole disc to a temporary directory on your PC, then deleting the files in the NEWROM directory from G001.BIN thru G300.BIN. Then I'd move my 300 favorite NES ROMS to that directory, and rename them G001.BIN thru G300.BIN... then burn that folder to a CD.

If you don't want to go through all that trouble up front, see what happens when you replace just ONE ROM... like G002.BIN with another NES ROM of your choice (remember to rename it too). The trouble may still be your menu shows the original titles, but we can probably find that file too.

That didnt work.

The Cd looks more like a VCD. With VCD style menus to choose games. and probably those 300 bins are 300 tracks! Simply replacing the .bin didnt work.

The games are all nes games.

Anyone seen a similar system ?
