So I recently acquired more Sachen games, among them are 31B-001 (Taiwanese version), 16B-002 (2x 8B with switch), the elusive 6B-001, which I guess is now confirmed to exist and an unknown 16B variant featuring the Mahjong titles and a wide selection of other titles, meaning it’s not just two… Read more »
Just wanted to let everybody know that finally, all Sachen 4 in 1 Mono games were dumped and put into DoM by yours truly. I would like to point out that taizou and BigFred lent a hand in letting me borrow their games.
So I noticed I neglected to update DoM with the mono 4B games I had already dumped. I did so now. All redumps are in as well as new entries for 4B-001, 4B-004, 4B-006, 4B-008. I updated the last Sachen post as well. Maybe a bit more info on color… Read more »

This information is superseded, see Sachen Mappers. I thought I might as well update that within hours of opening my 4B-007 cartridge I managed to dump it. Basically, the mapper has at least four registers. Lock register: Whether the mapper is unlocked or not, see below 0x0000-0x1FFF: base ROM bank… Read more »
So I recently acquired a Sachen game, 4B-007 “4 in 1”. Of course, I had to open it somehow to look inside… Cartridges are a bit smaller than regular Game Boy cartridges and they lack a screw at the back. So with no easy way to open it and prying… Read more »
