Hebereke - Enjoy Edition

There might be a NES rom in NesHebereke_x64_Release.dll based on an iNES header starting "NES", but via HxD, I couldn't be able to extract it. Maybe some special program can do the trick.
Edit: bro lied

Have you tried making a copy and renaming it to a .nes file? I ask because that can be the case. I did that with The Curse of Illmoore Bay (in this case, a .MD file, but same principle).

The header isn't at the start of the file, so it won't work, even deleting the data before the header. The latter makes the emulator loop an infinte grey screen.

Edit: replaced the image once again, because I remembered the command to screenshot windows

At first, I checked the Unity assets to see if I could identify anything (similar to SaGa), but I couldn't find anything. However, I was able to extract the ROM via memory dump, but things got weird quickly. With the correct header, I can get the game to boot to the title screen, but the graphics are garbled and the game crashes upon starting a new game. Upon further inspection, I realized that the ROM I dumped was 16 bytes larger than the original ROM!
The following data was injected at 0x00020010 with no other worthwhile differences I am aware of:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 87 DB 75 41 41 8F 72 10
After removing the data, I was able to get the title screen and password screen fixed, but the game still crashed upon starting a new game.

Glad to see some progress made!

Unrelated, but there seems to be an update that added the English box and manual for Ufouria.
This doesn't affect the Emulator and Hebereke ROM side of the game.

Got a ROM via the Memory Dump method, but I found there are differences with a stable ROM. That's why the game couldn't start.

Made an "at least I tried" ROM extraction guide. https://github.com/GuiMiTomo/HeberekeROMExtractionGuide
Edit: fixed typo.

@GuiMiTomo @DrAzathoth I have made a proper application to extract a correct ROM from the game files. It also allows the user to apply a fixed NES 2.0 header making it 1:1 to the No-Intro ROM.
See: https://github.com/Infinest/Hebereke_Enjoy_Enjoy_Edition_Extractor

The ROM file itself is contained within HEBEREKE\FCHEBEREKE_Data\Plugins\x86_64\NesHebereke_x64_Release.dll with some form of compression. I've gone ahead and reversed the logic they are doing to decompress it via Ghidra and reimplemented it in C#. The funny thing is the logic for decompressing the ROM from this DLL is also contained in this same DLL.

Thank you!
