jRemindMe is a program I've been spending a bit of time working on recently. Its got a ways to go yet still, but I've found it very useful, and so have other people that I know. If anyone wants to take the time to check it out, report any bugs you come across, or even if you see something looks out of place, or you think a new feature would be nice to see, please, let me know!

A short description of this program my be something like "Post it notes with an automated timer." Great for us forgetful folk.

Today, once again for an update. I have 6 NSFs and one fix for you.

    * 100-in-1 Contra Function 16
    * 1000000-in-1
    * Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends
    * Magic Jewelry 2
    * R.B.I. Baseball 2
    * UFC Ultimate Frogger Champion

I was mailed about Conan - The Mysteries of Time not working in many players and NSF2MIDI. Well, I accidently uploaded the wrong copy of the rip. Go to the same link,and download. I changed the name of file for fewer problems.

100-in-1 Contra Function 16 - This is a pirate multi-cart featuring a few games, mainly Contra games. I ripped the menu music

1000000-in-1 - This is another multi-cart, featuring a few games and more that do not work. There is no way that you can get 1000000 games on a NES cart. Not to mention, there are not even close to one million games now. I also ripped the menu music from this game.

Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends - This game is a platformer of sorts, featuring the characters from the cartoon Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.

Magic Jewelry 2 - The game is about the same as the first, which is Magic Jewelry 1. This game features one of the very few woman voice samples.

R.B.I. Baseball 2 - In the famous line of baseball games, R.B.I. Baseball 2 is it. This rip has two voice samples.

Ultimate Frogger Champion - This game was made by Kevin Hanley, Brian Parker and a few others. Frogger is known by most and is a Atari classic game. I had a lot of fun playing the demo. So yes, I liked the demo music and I ripped it, also got permission.

Last but not least, I updated the NSF Ripper Guide, adding Level 18, which happens to be about the basics of bankswitching NSFs.

Now it's time for another NSF update. I have 6 NSFs for you this time around.

    * Conan - The Mysteries of Time (Request by ShinerCCC)
    * Contra Spirit (1996)
    * GLK Dance by Fengi Li
    * Ring King (Request by Nuttz the Squirrel)
    * Sexy Invaders
    * Uforce Power Games

Conan - The Mysteries of Time - The game is one I used to play a lot back when I had a NES. The music is way too low. I'm considering on hacking the sound driver to boost the volume. I think louder music would make the game better.

Contra Spirts (1996) - This is a fun side scrolling game, that appears to be a port of another newer Contra game, which I think is original music. Sliver-X told me about this game a year ago, I believe.

GLK Dance by Feng Li - I could be wrong, I think this game is some kind of DDR clone to a Chinese Famicom. The music is interesting, using a disco beat to old songs.

Ring King - I don't know much about this game. I played it and had fun. The music is old style for the time.

Sexy Invaders - This FDS game uses the sound expansion channel and is rather good for a unlicensed game. This game uses a Space Invaders game with a porn theme.

Uforce Power Games - This game is rather sub-par in my opinion, has four mini-games, I think. The music ain't half bad.

I've decided to add a short comment about each game. I may do this from now on.

It's been a few months since the last NSF update, mainly because I needed a break and wanted to do something different for a change. I still have this same mindset, however, I have decided to rip a few more NSFs. In fact, I have ripped a large number of them and have decided to release a few at a time so that it's easier to update. So, I will be releasing a few at periodic intervals for awhile. So, check back now and again. Here is what I have for this update.

NSF Fixes

Golgo 13 - Top Secret Episode (fix request by DrLove0378)
Moai Kun (fix request by bucky o'hare)

New NSFs
