Unfortunately reverts can't be done on the assembler wiki, as it doesn't store the history of revisions. If it did then you basically open an old revision and save that as the current version.
Just make a Forum for the Wiki where you put a sticky thread. In this thread everyone who contributes to the wiki makes a post (and he continues editing it) with the list of the topics he wrote (not just the link, but the name too, so it's easier to search in the thread). In the forum you may discuss everything wiki-related. I really think that a separate forum is needed if you want to build a good wiki.
please, The Steadster, may you check these? http://assemblergames.com/wiki/dogatemysnes/pmwiki.php?n=Topics.GameBoyTestCartridge1989 http://assemblergames.com/wiki/dogatemysnes/pmwiki.php?n=Topics.GameBoyTestCartridge1990 Thanks!
You can revert a page by clicking on "History" in the upper-right corner and then clicking on "Restore" under whichever edit(s) you want to undo. That's a pretty much a required feature of any wiki script. Like I said, some scripts have the option to revert all the edits done by any particular user, but it doesn't look like this one does. ...word is bondage...
Game Boy Test Cartridge 1989 The Game Boy Test Cartridge has a really big shell and a small PCB inside, model DMG-AGING-01. Copyright 1989 Nintendo. A soldered EPROM contains the ROM image. This version of test cart has a black and white label with japanese writing and "Game Boy 1989 Nintendo Made in Japan". I think that Nintendo used always the same 1989 test carts for the newer ones, just updating the ROM and putting a new label over the original one. This cart works on any GB model and GBA. When turned on the test starts checking, all in one window, the VIDEO RAM, the WORK RAM, the CPU "japanese writings" RAM and CPU ANY FUNCTIONS, everything checked with an "OK". "VER 1.1" at the bottom of the page. If you push START button, the test goes directly to the looping section (you can skip to the looping section anytime by pressing START, but then you can't go back to the test sequence). If you push A button, the tests start. You must push A every time a single test ends to go to the next step. Everytime a test starts you hear a sound. The tests, In the order they happen are: A static blank screen with tiny borders. A static black square in the middle of the screen. A static checkered screen. A static checkered screen (different design). A sequence of grey tones with different sounds. Two crossed lines: an horizontal line that goes from top to bottom and a vertical one that goes from left to right, with many different sounds. Mario sprites that walk anti-clockwise in front and behind a tower. This sprite is really evolved! Looks ripped from Super Mario Bros 3... A page with text (numbers and japanese). Another page with text. Two sliding screens from Super Mario Land and Alleway. The key test: you have to push the buttons shown on the display. At the end of this last step the test goes into a looping mode: every test is repeated automatically with a timer that appears in the first screen with RAM tests and during the first steps. --- I haven't touched the last sentence but it needs work. I haven't changed it because I don't completely understand what it means, not having the cart myself. Is it that the timer only appears in the first screen, or all, and are the RAM tests the first steps? --- This Test Cart looks exactly like the other GB test carts, with the same case. The ROM was probably updated in 1990. The label reads: Game Boy TEST CARTRIDGE Nintendo P.N. 21528 1990 Nintendo of America Inc.

Game Boy Test Cartridge 1995 The Game Boy Test Cartridge has a really big shell and a small PCB inside, model DMG-AGING-01. Copyright 1989 Nintendo. A soldered EPROM contains the ROM image. This version of test cart has a black and white label with "Game Boy Test Cartridge P.N. 21528 1995 Nintendo". I think that Nintendo always used the same cartridge as the Game Boy Test Cartridge 1989 for the newer ones, just updating the ROM and putting a new label over the original one. This cart works on any GB model and GBA. When turned on, a menu appears: GAMEBOY TEST MENU AUTO TEST SCREEN TEST CONTROLLER TEST SCROLL TEST SOUND TEST PRESS A TO START 1990 NINTENDO'' You can choose a test by pushing SELECT button.
