Reportedly, the GBA rom(s) are in a roms.pak file but are protected by a password, based on this forum post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2728200/discussions/0/603022903526596463/

Can confirm the roms.pak when changed to roms.zip contains the NA and EU GBA roms for Ninja Five-O. Now if only I knew the PW.

@Rot-gut i feel like LRG are getting lazy with choosing their passwords. Check this issue for the Steam release of Clock Tower: https://github.com/farmerbb/RED-Project/issues/183 The zip password is the exact same as the one for Clock Tower: smns/rbkjcs.rolr

Now should i check if i also get an insta-ban when posting the password to the Steam forums for that game? 🙈

@Infinest Oh my gosh, that's so funny. I didn't think to try the Clock Tower: Rewind password because I didn't think it'd work.

I'd actually be surprised if they banned you on the Ninja Five-O forum, because the support for that title to address bugs post-launch has been zero. But also, Konami published Ninja Five-O, not LRG/WayForward.

The roms appear to be modified from the originals, based on No-Intro:

Ninja Five-O (Steam):

NinjaCop.gba MD5: A4A45873932EC855D0A96FCA52FE81EA

NinjaFiveO.gba MD5: A1AC9FF0AB98C1A85204A73FCC750F79

Ninja Five-O (No-Intro):

0925 - Ninja Cop (Europe).gba MD5: 8f71cc21f97599f376b71a0953db1847

1045 - Ninja Five-0 (USA).gba MD5: 04244f72a9b8f17ee33e0b5bff2b8b1f

@Rot-gut Yeah, i only noticed they were the exact same after a few hours of poking at the game with Ghidra and Cheat Engine. Kind of annoying to learn after all that.

You might be right about not getting banned but i'm not gonna go and find it out myself this time. It was more meant to be a joke anyways. If anyone else wants to try their luck though, be my guest. ^^

I didn't care enough to check the ROMs myself but it would be interesting to know what changes were made exactly.

My Switch retail copy arrived today. The extraction method in the above post works for this version as well, the archive isn't even password-protected on Switch.
