    Default 2 GB Test Carts, not one

    On the rarity guide there is just one GB Test cart. Actually I have two of them. For the one from 1995 they have used the one from 1989, put a new label over the old japanese one, and a new program inside. The one from 1989 has more graphic tests, eg sprites of Mario. The newer ROM is sympler and all in english. Here you have the pic of the 1995 cart. Later I'll add the one from 1989.



    I've not been able to dump these with a GBXchanger.

    Is there a different part number for the two? I can't get the image to load. The part number for the one listed is 21528.

    The 21528 is the one from 1995. The japanese-label one has no serial on the label and the same pcb. And, I repeat, it's a completely different ROM. It comes from an USA test center. Check these pics from my collection:

    BTW if the cart is from 1989, the sprite (Mario) looks the one used in SMB3...
