An unknown person took this hack and further improved it by removing the 'game selected' sound effect, resulting in the ROM image included in GoodNES 3.23b under the misleading name 'EarthWorm Jim 2 (SuperGame).nes', and is included in the attached archive as 'Earthworm Jim 2 (SPC009 extract).nes'. nes', and is included in the attached archive as 'Earthworm Jim 2 (SPC009 extract).nes'. This first hack of the SPC009 extract was included in GoodNES 3.23b as 'EarthWorm Jim 2 (SuperGame). It still played the 'game selected' sound effect before the Super Game logo was shown, though.

Mazhou88 was the first to attempt such an extraction in 2008, disabling the menu by changing two bytes in the PRG-ROM part. Extracting the game from that multicart was difficult since the multicart's menu was placed inside the Earthworm Jim 2 part, so that even when the game is extracted, it would still show the menu, but all choices would lead to the same game. The earliest ROM image ( from 2005) of the game was on the SPC009 'Golden Card 6-in-1' multicart, where Earthworm Jim 2 was one of six games. If there is one, then it has not been dumped. It is possible that no actual single-game cartridge version, that is not a bastardized multicart, ever existed. All cartridges that claim to have only this game on them are actually multicarts with the menu disabled via a solder pad on the circuit board. Here are the findings from my analysis:įirst, no known ROM image comes from an actual single-game cartridge version of the game. There are several ROM images of Earthworm Jim 2 (Super Game version) out there, something that confused and bothered me greatly.
