Tell us about it, then. What is notable about it? Would it make a good TAS, and if so, why? Are there any notable glitch/playthrough videos on youtube/elsewhere?

Prepare to be disappointed, then. The game is severly broken, has all kind of (bad) glitches, but most importantly, is so broken that it is completely unplayable in every emulator (except hhugboy), so it isn't even possible to make a TAS of it as of yet.

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.
<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits

How can a game be so broken that cycle-accurate emulators can't emulate it? That is impressive.

It probably uses some special cart logic that is unimplemented anywhere else.

That shouldn't matter for a cycle-accurate emulator. What would matter would be if the cart had special hardware on it, but that seems unlikely for a bootleg game; why would they go to the extra expense?

the major thing with this emulator is it supports Sintax and Li Cheng mappers on unmodified copies of their roms
I am pretty sure Rockman 8 probably uses something like that. Even a cycle accurate emulation will fail if it doesn't communicate with the ROM correctly because of missing mapper support. And since these are bootleg mappers I am pretty sure sinamas hasn't had the chance / cared to implement them in the original Gambatte.
However, the source code for Hhugboy is public, so anyone who wants to try to add the mapper into the Bizhawk gambatte core, go ahead.

Yes, that is pretty much what I meant by "unplayable".

Ok, so there is now a clean ROM dump of the game and now it can be played just about anywhere...
Posting this just in case someone's interested in this game for some strange reason.
This game is horrible in many aspects, but the most notable is the fact that it looks like there are no weapons beside the stock buster. Then there is really no reason to TAS such a thing.
