LuigiBlood here. Lately someone named Kaeru got in touch with me about Memory Packs that were bought recently, as well as overall Satellaview discussion.

I learned that Wild Guns was one of them, which was at the time, undumped, it was on eBay for a price that we didn’t think it was good, so we passed on it.

After giving advice on how to dump Memory Packs, Kaeru got dumping hardware and dumped the Memory Packs, and allowed me to release the brand new Wild Guns Satellaview release dump, right here.

The game seems slightly different within the data when I compared both the retail japanese release and this one, so they might have done some various small fixes here and there.

There was actually 1 startup left (and it was launched a couple times recently), and it seems the data wasn’t entirely finished being processed, but it is correct, and that’s the most important thing.

I have included a ROM with the limited starts removed, but if you use the DRM free BS-X ROM you don’t need it.

Our first release of the year, and this one is pretty special.
Thanks to Latesa and sanmaiwashi, we now have the *complete set* of Ryōma de Yuku (龍馬でゆく) for RPG Tsukuru 2.

A lot of times, we preserve a lot of user content made with the Maker series from Memory Packs, but alongside RPG Tsukuru Super Dante games, there were downloadable content for RPG Tsukuru 2, several sets in fact, with new games, music and graphic packs. Really, entire games made with the Maker series that St. GIGA has provided.

Ryōma de Yuku’s scenario was written by Hikari Ōta (太田光) of the Bakushō Mondai comedy duo, who are very present on Satellaview programs, radio and even seen inside BS-X as NPCs.
It says the maps are designed by Silicon Valley? (it says シリコン町ないかい), which might be an inside joke.

As we are not very good with japanese culture, I’ll rely on Kiddo’s previous research from 2012’s release of the first part: It seems to be a parody of “Ryōma ga Yuku” (竜馬がゆく), which seems to be a highly renowned piece of japanese literature. Maybe it isn’t based on that, but perhaps it will be time for another blog post with more information in the future about this content in particular.

The Memory Pack was kept in extremely good shape: All contents were NOT corrupted after 20 years, which is good to hear.

The contents are the following:

リョウマテ゛ユク・サウント゛1 / Ryōma de Yuku – Sound 1
リョウマテ゛ユク・ク゛ラフィック / Ryōma de Yuku – Graphic
リョウマテ゛ユク・セ゛ンヘ°ン / Ryōma de Yuku – Part 1
リョウマテ゛ユク・コウヘン / Ryōma de Yuku – Part 2
リョウマテ゛ユク・サウント゛2 / Ryōma de Yuku – Sound 2
リョウマテ゛ユク・サウント゛3 / Ryōma de Yuku – Sound 3
リョウマテ゛ユク・カンケツヘン / Ryōma de Yuku – Part Final

During research I found out about リョウマテ゛ユク・ク゛ラフィック / Ryōma de Yuku – Opening, and then Part 1.
I was told the dumped Part 1 is a complete version that includes both the Opening and Part 1, slightly rebalanced, essentially we are not actually missing anything much, it is playable from Start to End.

Considering this is an addon to a game, I figured to also talk about how to load this content in RPG Tsukuru 2. It is impossible to play this on a sd2snes / FXPak for the time being.

On bsnes-plus:
– Go to Load Special -> Load BS-X Slotted Cartridge…
– Load RPG Tsukuru 2 ROM as base cartridge.
– Load Ryōma de Yuku Memory Pack as slot cartridge.

On SNES9X:
– Go to File -> Load MultiCart…
– Load RPG Tsukuru 2 ROM in Slot A.
– Load Ryōma de Yuku Memory Pack in Slot B.

Then, in RPG Tsukuru 2, wait until the main menu appears. Select Game (ゲーム), then Sample Game (サンプルゲーム), you can then select between the sample game in the cartridge, and then every game found inside the Memory Pack.

Follow the screenshots if you are not sure what to do.
