| - Hwang Shinwei (黃信維) is a Taiwanese unlicensed game programmer active from the late 1980's to early 1990's. He is the only person credited in most of his games, but it is unknown if he actually worked alone or simply only credited himself. Many of his games also credit RCM Group, who were likely the publishers, but might also have been a development team. Some of his games are also erroneously credited to "Taiwan ROC", based on that text appearing on the title screen, but this actually stands for "Taiwan, Republic of China" rather than being a company name.

| - Hwang Shinwei (黃信維) is a Taiwanese unlicensed game programmer active from the late 1980's to early 1990's. He is the only person credited in most of his games, but it is unknown if he actually worked alone or simply only credited himself. Many of his games also credit RCM Group, who were likely the publishers, but might also have been a development team. Some of his games are also erroneously credited to "Taiwan ROC", based on that text appearing on the title screen, but this actually stands for "Taiwan, Republic of China" rather than being a company name. Most games made by Hwang appear on multicarts, and some might not have been released stand-alone. Most of his games are also based on existing NES/Famicom games. Some games were released on NES cartridges, such as Block Force and Magic Jewelry 2. Their games also seem to have been produced quickly, with 3D Block and Magic Jewelry being released on the same year as the games they were 'porting'. Unlike many pirate companies whos games were often larger than the average NES/Famicom game, (>256kb in size) none of Shinwei's games were above 64kb, and many were 32kb. The small size of the games is why they sometimes appear on multicarts.
