Hi all. Hope your holidays and new year went well. Time for another update.

I have managed to track down a few things of interest. Right before Christmas I had some down time and thought I would take a look at some auction sites. By complete fluke, I found another copy of Collection Vol. 2. I'm still a bit stunned because it was just there...another copy, just like that. Not long after, I had the luck of discovering a listing for the Japanese version of Vol. 1. Quite interesting!!!!



Now I tried to dump my new Vol. 2 and Vol. 1 but ran into errors. I believe I mentioned this previously, but it gets to around 99% complete when it runs into some kind of fatal error, and complete ISOs cannot be made. I am unsure what the issue is. I am going to reach out to my pal in the ReDump community who helped me previously. Now that 3 different discs are showing this problem, it increases our odds of solving it. In the mean time, I did fully install the game on my PC and copied the files, so those are available for Vol. 1 now.

I also saw there is a new art book released for Bomberman Jetters.

"WHAAAAAAT" you might say.

It is true lol. It's called Past and Future and I have scanned that for you all as well.

That's all for now. Hope you folks are doing well. Until next time~!

Incredible finds all around. Fingers crossed for figuring out the dumping errors.

Hi all. Just a short post. Had some help from someone at Redump to get working .bin and .cues of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Apparently there is some kind of unique security on the discs. It essentialy creates 'empty sectors' of data so even though there are no files there, the disc still needs those empty spaces read in order to play it. Weird huh?

So they helped me get a working dump. They have been slightly modified in that, the empty sectors should be removed but all normal, functioning files are still available. So they should run just fine but let me know if you encounter anything. I added them to the archive pages. Thanks for the patience on that pals!

Hi all. Just a quick pop in. Another mobile Bomberman game has been preserved! This time it's Bomberman Kart Special!



This is playable through Keitai World Launcher. I communicate with some of the folks there on occasion and help purchase phones if a Bomberman appears in the wild (which isn't very often.)

You can read more about it/download the launcher here: https://keitaiarchive.org/

Also, here's a link if you just want to download the Bomberman mobile games saved thus far: Bomberman Games Edit: I've only helped with one or two games, I just put together all the games the community found on this link.

Take care!

Madman...

The volume collections look so cool. This is one hell of a treasure hunt!

Hey gang. Scanned a book called Encyclopedia of Hudson. Had a section with Nakamoto in there. Check it out.
