nensondubois has finally found indisputable proof that “Last Christmas” is the most overplayed, over-covered Christmas song ever.

… too bad it’s March 19, so this is totally out of season.

You can download the SPC set here.

Ah, I haven’t gotten around to putting up NND videos in a while, no?

I think starting from this one – since NND has been putting up uploader credits, I figure I may as well make sure they’re noted on the Blog, as well.

This one was credited to “gudaking”. It appears to be yet another Bakusho…w… Mondai segment. Yeah, the figure that shows as it plays appears to be from a magazine that accompanied it, and it features the “Bakushow” spelling as well as a sort of translation of the title.

This next one’s pretty interesting, too!… Actually, it’s probably even more interesting than the Bakushow one. To me, anyway. Even if it’s just a BS Tantei Club video.

This specific BS Tantei Club video has the first episode play through completely, with clean Soundlink audio – no SNES sound effects in the way! Imagine if parts 2 and 3 were also available in this manner…

This one is credited to “ミカリン”.

Alright, since it’s Feb. 29 and Feb. 29th isn’t gonna happen too often, let me put this up!

I’ve got this dump by ikari which has -two- Kouryaku Casino bars in it. But, before I begin to describe them I need to make sure I got something clarified, partly for my own head’s sake;

Bluesun pointed out to me that the Casino Bar minigames are, in their ROM headers, each named after days of the week.

this site helped me keep tabs of these days.

As you can see from the ROM Headers above, we have here Suiyoubi and Kinyoubi. I also went back and checked the previous ROM dump, and that one is, interestingly enough, Nichiyoubi. Hopefully ROM DATs will sort out the file names accordingly.

Anyhow, Suiyoubi has a poker game…

And kinyoubi has slots.

Also, since I didn’t spot this before with Nichiyoubi, I’ll make a note that like the Monopoly ROMs, this will take currency from the BS-X. Also, emulators that can’t detect that there’s two ROM datas in this will just play the first one.

If you’re wondering exactly what is up with the video LuigiBlood uploaded here, then go to here and download no$sns and try booting the BS-X ROM on it.

I’ve been giving the emulator a very good go myself, and although the compatibility isn’t all there yet (A lot of the ROMs do not detect as BS-X compatible and thus try to boot without it), there is one very important ROM that does…

Ever see the ROM in certain sets labeled “Satella2_1″? It doesn’t seem to be in GoodSNES or no-intro, probably because for a long while the nature of the ROM was mysterious – it wouldn’t boot past a single screen, and the best assumption was that it was related to Satellawalker.

… Finally, though, no$snes has it playable basically from start to end, and, well, I guess I should’ve expected it, but it turned out indeed to be the very Satellawalker segment that was on Youtube for a long time now.

Since the ROM doesn’t appear to be going around in many DATs, here it is for reference.

LuigiBlood linked this over at byuu’s forum.

Although I can’t necessarily make it all out, since LuigiBlood said it has more Satellaview technical documentation than anything prior, it sounds important, so I’m linking it here.

Updates to bsnes-sx2 probably won’t be too far behind, now.
