A Satellaview research blog.

Category: Emulation

Emulating the Satellaview is a highly daunting task.
Games that use the BIOs and the Soundlink, in particular, throw a monkey wrench into any plan.
The most popular emulators, SNES9X and ZSNES, seem to break compatibility with Satellaview games as each update progresses.
This category is for the emulation scene, and is intended to help people with emulating the Satellaview to the best of my ability.

For games intended to run from the BIOs and Data Carts meant for compatible cartridges:

BSNES version .042 – http://byuu.org/bsnes/

For Soundlink games:

SNESGT, .218 should do for now, I think… – http://gigo.retrogames.com/

For BS Fuurai no Shiren:

This special case seems to only run on a modified SNES9X emulator which I only know of as “SNES9XWSE”.
