A Satellaview research blog.

One of the biggest batchs so far (Part 1)

Hi. It’s danyl, again! This is just that I think we should speed-up the releases (we have something like 28 dumps to release but I’ll release the first half in this post). So, let’s get started!

This memory pack contains one of the last volumes of the magazine serie “BS Nintendo HP”.

It’s also one of the very last new magazines EVER aired in the whole Satellaview broadcast period before Nintendo definitively stops making new content for the Satellaview, and then St.Giga begins to rerun most popular/latest games/magazines between April 4th 1999 and June 30th 2000.

So here is a small summary of its content:

It’s about new Nintendo news (like the SpaceWorld) / releases (like the Nintendo 64 ones with Yoshi’s Story and F-Zero X).

(Yeah, I admit it’s kinda short.)

BS Nintendo HP (1999-3-21)
BS任天堂HP(1999-3-21)

This memory pack contains two others Satesupo volumes. These magazines are about the horse races, I don’t have so much to say about it.

But the only thing I have to add is that we got before is a corrupted dump of 8/05 volume and randnetdd have in his hands the 7/29 one.

This memory pack contains a user data Sound Novel file and a magazine of the radio program “Ijuin Hikaru no Kaidenpa Hasshin Kichi”. It’s about a November festival, and some cute girls. Also, this memory pack contains some leftovers of the G.B.S. version of Actraiser (we already got it).

[User] Sound Novel 1 + Ijuin Hikaru no Kaidenpa Hasshin Kichi (1996-11-09) / [User] サウンドノベル1+ 伊集院光の怪電波発信基地(1996-11-09)ROM Download

Yeah I know, I F#CKING know I did so much low-efforts on these ones, but I promise I made a real research effort for the next ones ;)) .

This memory pack contains another volume from the magazine / radio series “AK Live Hit Gang”.

Some details can be found about it in the “かべ新聞ニュース” :

 

“『今日のピック・アップ・ソング』のテーマは“独特な声を持つ人々”だ!夏に向かって『市川博樹のサーファー道』も要チェックだぁ!!”

“The theme of “Today’s Pick Up Song” is “People with Unique Voices ”! As we head into summer, be sure to check out “Hiroki Ichikawa’s Surfer Road” !!”

However, the memory pack contains also leftovers (in fact 5Mbit) from 8th trial version of the PC Engine game “百物語 ほんとにあった怖い話”. Yeah because at the very beginning of the Satellaview (precisely between April 26th and September 2nd 1995), Hudson aired a 10-parts trial version of this game (it was originally planned to release in Super Famicom but it was instead released on PC Engine due to lack of storage space).

Here is some footage pictures :

This memory pack is more interesting. It in fact contains Twice of the “Bakushow Mondai no Houkago no Ousama” magazine from June 6th 1995. However, one of these two copies seems to have been partially overwritten by an RPG Tsukuru 2 User File. Fortunately, the second one is 100% clean.

Some details about it can be found in the “かべ新聞ニュース” :

“今日はダブルゲストで、“市原真紀&パンクラスの山田学” だー!美女と野獣・天国と地獄ってかんじだね!”

“Today, we have a double guest, “Maki Ichihara and Manabu Yamada from Pancrase” ! It’s like beauty and the beast, heaven and hell !”

The next one is also a Bakushow Mondai magazine.

This memory pack contains the 4th volume of the special-summer serie Bakushow Mondai no Natsuyasumi no Ousama. Its about a “Taku” Hiroshima tournament sponsored by Hazuki, and petitions (these Taku are painting exclusives to this show).

Again, some details can be found in the “かべ新聞ニュース” :

“爆笑問題ワイドの人気コーナー”拓”のイベント「拓フェスティバル’95」が好調に列島を南下中である。札幌、熊本横浜大会が大盛況で終了し、8月12日には広島大会、8月19日には山形大会8月26日には原宿のギャラリーでの東京大会と、引き続き大展開の予定だ。”

“「全国縦断!拓フェスティバル’95」も今日も含め残り3日!本日の開催は広島“はづき”宅にて。自己申告制の女子のみ参加可能だ!”

“Taku Festival ’95”, an event featuring the popular “Taku” section of Bakushow Mondai Wide, is making its way south through the archipelago. The Sapporo and Kumamoto and Yokohama tournaments have ended with great success, and the event is scheduled to continue with the Hiroshima event on August 12th, the Yamagata event on August 19th, and the Tokyo event at a gallery in Harajuku on August 26th.”

“There are only 3 days left of “Nationwide! Taku Festival ’95” including today ! Today’s event will be held at Hazuki’s house in Hiroshima. Only girls who self-report can participate !”

Also, it contains leftovers (in fact 4Mbit) from the premiere variant from August 6th 1995 of BS Zelda no Densetsu Dai-1-wa (this what I think because even if it similar to the rerun one it’s still kinda different).

This memory pack contains 2 magazines. The first one is an episode of Ijuin Hikaru no Houkago no Ousama from February 5th 1996 about squid fishing (I am not joking), and the second one is the Game Tora no Ooana Special from March 7th 1996 about the New Yatterman trial version (than we found a long time ago).

Some details can be found in the “かべ新聞ニュース” :

For the Hikaru Ijuin magazine :

“に来て下さい。次はいかを釣るぞ!たぶん今週あたりに、又、小田原へ釣りに行くと思います。もしご一緒したいという方は、朝6:30頃に小田原に来て下さい。次はいかを釣るぞ!”

“Please come to Next time I’ll catch a squid ! I’ll probably go fishing in Odawara again this week. If you would like to join us, please come to Odawara around 6:30 in the morning. Next time I’ll catch a squid!”

For the Game Tora no Ooana Special magazine :

“今日の新作ソフト情報局は、懐かしのTVアニメがゲームになって復活した『NEWヤッターマン』を紹介!期待のダビスタ’96一口情報も!!”
“Today’s New Software Information Bureau introduces “NEW Yatterman,” a nostalgic TV anime that has been revived as a game! A bit of information on the much-anticipated Davista ’96 !!”

This memory pack contains a redump of the last volume of “Yuuki Nae no GE-MU no Tsubo” (from March 23th 1997), and the last volume of its predecessor “Yuuki Nae Ashita ni Nareba…” (from March 29th 1996). It seems that the picture at the very end is a teaser of “GE-MU no Tsubo”. However, this one is corrupted. LuigiBlood has indicated some details about this corruption :

– Corruption at 0xB001F – 0xB0023 (bits 1 into 0, weird)
– Block Corruption at 0xB00C0 – 0xB02D6

This is why the image in the 4th screenshot seems to be kinda glitchy as you can see.

Also, some details about it can be found in the “かべ新聞ニュース” :

☆奈江もさよなら、そして……!?

“「裕木奈江 明日になれば…」も3月29日(金)で終了してしまう。しかし、明日になれば……ではなくて、2日後の3月31日(日)になれば、奈江ちゃんの新番組がすぐにスタートするのだ。タイトルは「裕木奈江 GE-MUの壷」。毎週日曜17:00~17:20放送だよ。お楽しみに。”

“この1年間の名コーナー&ビッグイベントを振り返りつつ送る『明日になれば・・・』最終回。最後の奈江ワールドをご堪能あれ。”

☆ Nae also says goodbye, and then…?!

“ “Yuuki Nae Ashita ni Nareba…” will also end on Friday, March 29th. However, not tomorrow… but two days later, on Sunday, March 31st, Nae-chan’s new program will start right away. It’s called “Yuuki Nae no GE-MU no Tsubo”. It will air every Sunday from 17:00 to 17:20. Look forward to it.”

“The final episode of “Ashita ni Nareba…” looks back on the best corners and biggest events of the past year. Enjoy the rests of Nae’s world.”

This memory pack contains 2 magazines : the first one is a Game Tora no Ooana which is about the upcoming game releases of June 23th 1995, and the second one is another magazine of Okami Ga Kita (the first dump we got before is the one from June 11th 1995) which is according to LuigiBlood, corrupted of 1 byte (we couldn’t figure out where exactly the corruption is).

Some details about these can be found in the “かべ新聞ニュース” :

For the Game Tora no Ooana magazine (Fun fact : it was also its official description in its original building) :

“『今週はお買い物情報』今週は8本が発売されるぞ~さて、キミはどれを買う?”

“In this “week’s shopping information” 8 products will be released this week ! Now, which one should you buy ?”

For the Okami Ga Kita magazine :

“今一押しコーナー『あゆみのハートに投げKiss』!では、キミたちのハートはくぎづけだぜ~!大好評の『泉谷のエサ』は “鈴里真帆” ちゃんだ~!”

Here is the very last thing of the part 1 (and the most unexcepted) :

This memory pack contains another volume of the magazine serie “Nintendo Power Magazine”. Precisely the volume 111 (the 107 had been found a very long time ago).

But before you say some bullshit like “Oh ! I aM SuRe ThE vOlUmE 001 wAs AiReD iN aPrIl 1995 !” – the kind of absurdities I generally see in some forums/websites, let me give you the volumes list :

☆Nintendo Power Magazine

“Well, this issue of “Nintendo Power Magazine” will be featuring “Pokemon Power,” a special supplement that will only be published for six months to celebrate the finally confirmed release of Pokemon across the US ! This is something that comes with the main Nintendo Power unit, and it’s quite a satisfying read. “111” is scheduled to air for 5 weeks, from Sunday, September 6th to Saturday, October 10th. Look forward to it ! We hope you enjoy it.”

And, that’s all for the moment. But don’t worry, the part 2 will come quickly after this one (and I promise than this time, you’ll not have to wait nearly 1 year for the next post).

Final dumps and redumps of the year

This is my final Satellaview dump post of the year, from LuigiBlood 🙂

I’ve accumulated a bunch of dumps and redumps in the past few months, and it’s way overdue again to give the updates, so I’ll seperate it the post in three parts, from three different dumpers.

 

From j4m13c0, we got a Memory Pack dump of two things:

This memory pack contains Kanaderu Score, and is ACTUALLY DOWNLOADED as it is dated, and it actually contains a song from Ryoma de Yuku, one of the RPG Tsukuru 2 games!
So you could edit and see the composition of it, which is a nice bonus.

Then there’s a magazine called Yusuke Akamatsu Theater, it seems to be a story written by Yusuke Akamatsu, and ends with an advertisement of an album by the same person, published by Shinko Music Entertainment.

The download includes a seperate version of the magazine, and the full Memory Pack dump with the Ongaku Tsukuru content. Both were originally deleted, but were recovered, so we cannot confirm if the data is actually good, but it seems to be alright.

Yusuke Akamatsu Theater (5/7) | 赤松裕介劇場 (5/7)
ROM Download

 

From PsyKo, we got an interesting dump:

This is a demo of Harvest Moon, which was previously dumped, but the data was originally considered bad, this one however has not been deleted, and its integrity is confirmed intact. It is slightly different from the other dump, but 99% of the data is identical.

This is worth it just to have some confirmed intact dump of this demo.

Harvest Moon (Demo) | 牧場物語 (Demo)
ROM Download

 

Then, the rest of this post are all dumps from PrincessBeef, who has been really busy buying a bunch of these Memory Packs, and we cannot thank her enough.

First of all, let’s begin with a bunch of games that came from retail builds:

This is Air Management II, aka Aerobiz Supersonic in the US, this is 100% identical to the japanese retail Super Famicom build except for the header, of course.

Aerobiz Supersonic | エアーマネジメントII 航空王をめざせ
ROM Download

This is self explanatory, this is Space Invaders – The Original Game, the remake for Super Famicom, also known for having a smaller version inside the Game Boy version for the Super Game Boy.

This is also 100% identical to the japanese retail Super Famicom version, except for the header again.

Next, some magazines with some extras:

First, another magazine of Yuuki Nae no GE-MU no Tsubo (Yuuki Nae’s Game Jar in english) was dumped from a different date, with different funny drawings based on games, a profile of a game developer, in this case, it’s Hideki Konno, as well as a presentation of Konae-chan no Dokidoki Penguin Kazoku, which is actually the game where Yuuki Nae stars in!

And then includes another dump of Konae-chan no Dokidoki Penguin Kazoku in it, which was already recently dumped and released by Forest of Illusion, it’s a different version of the game that isn’t an Event version!

There’s also some leftover data of what looks like graphics but I couldn’t figure out more about, but I left it in the full Memory Pack dump included.

Yuuki Nae’s Game Jar + KONAE-chan’s Pounding Penguin Family (12/22) | 裕木奈江のGE-MUの壺 + KONAEチャンのどきどきペンギン家族 (12/22)

Now this magazine has confused me a lot. I’ve just shown… all of it in these 3 images.

This is apparently Lily Franky Theater (which was origniall, titled Manga here, but… there’s nothing? It just says “Discarded”. I cannot seem to find anything more about this…
Maybe it was something that was promised and then it didn’t happen and made the most useless content data ever?

It also contains a lot of leftover data in the full Memory Pack dump of what looks like Wario’s Woods, but it’s not placed the same way, so this might be something undumped…?

Cheap de Gorgeous Vol. 5! What was previously dumped was Volume 1, this is a cooking magazine, with a bunch of recipes and sometimes people talking with each other, it was unfortunately “deleted,” but we fixed it.

And I kept what I feel is the best for last:

We got another RPG Tsukuru 2 game, BS KureKure Mou Race! A game that you have to finish to then get a password to send via post card and receive prizes on a first-come, first-served basis.

This seems to be the February version, as the name might suggest, but seems also to be the second one.

And that’s all of them!

Thanks again to j4m13c0, PsyKo and PrincessBeef for their time to bring these dumps to the public!

New dumps and redumps, and name corrections.

It’s time for another Satellaview post from yours’ truly, LuigiBlood.

We’ve got a bunch of dumps to share, some of which I should have shared earlier again but I’m here to make it right.

Coming from an anonymous source, another redump of Wario’s Woods Futatabi which the date is 8/11 this time.
It is identical to what is already dumped in the past.

Then all of other dumps come from PrincessBeef, and there’s a lot of them:

It turns out that we got another dump of Bakushow Mondai no Totsugeki! Star Pirates, the other one was Week 1, this one is Week 3! It is a quiz show hosted by Bakushou Mondai performers and others, all Satellaview personality.

That said the dump was unfortunately corrupted, so the Download link will provide the original bad dump, and a version where the checksum is manually fixed, but make no mistake, we don’t know what has corrupted and we cannot fix it for certain.

Then another set of magazines, both of which are undumped volumes of magazines we’ve dumped in the past.

Do-Re-Mi de Faa~! is a magazine dedicated to music, Top 20 of CD sales, and other things, this is Volume 9 from 5/25.

Then there’s BS Famitsu Magazine Kawara-ban Issue 5/24, which was named Weekly Famitsu Express but this is not really the right name.
It turns out the name Kawara-ban would mean like, Tile Print, from the Edo period, and would be considered like Prospectus, it is something that really hammers home how it is a smaller version of Famitsu magazine.

Both came from the same Memory Pack, which I have included in the Download.

Now, another issue of… okay so we said “Machi Magazine Idol Diary Media – Strawberry,” but the name is woolly inaccurate, a proper name would more be like “Future Idol Development System – Media Strawberry”, where… there’s no volume number, we can only rely on the date which is 4/17. Another issue we got was 3/22, which is Volume 12, so this should be dated after, in theory.

The first screenshot explains what kind of magazine it is, courtesy of Google Translate which seems to fairly translate what it is about:

このマガジン型番組は、明日のスターを夢見る、若き乙女たちが続々と登場する、エンターテイメント・アイドルカタログである。
This magazine type program is an entertainment idol catalog in which young girls dreaming of becoming stars of tomorrow appear one after another.

The memory pack also contains some leftover data which I couldn’t decipher, but I’ll include it anyway.

Another Memory Pack with several things in them. The first is a magazine program I’ve never seen before: Satella Yokochō, which we could translate like, Satella Street?

It seems to include a bunch of information about BS-X lore involving the characters and their names! It seems to talk about the local rumors and whatnot, but my knowledge of japanese is still limited and would rather not go too much into the things if I don’t think I understand them easily, but this is cool to have!

And then, a full Super Famicom title: Super Soukoban! And it is absolutely 1:1 corresponding to the retail release, the only thing different is the header part.

The full Memory Pack dump is included with both, it includes leftover graphics from something else, but I couldn’t figure out what it actually is.

And last, but not least, from Hard4Games, an anonymous source and PrincessBeef, a collection of RPG Maker 2, Sound Novel Maker and Music Maker user content!

I may as well because it is still pretty entertaining to check them out.

Redumps and New Dumps that’s overdue

Hey, LuigiBlood here.

…this is way overdue, I really should have released this stuff much earlier, but I’m righting the wrong now.

First things first:

Coming from Marko, and dumped by Kundenbetreuung, a redump of BS Super Mario USA Episode 3, it is literally the same as previous dumps, but here it is anyway for posterity:

From Aaron Cincinatus… LITERALLY ANOTHER variant of BS Dragon Quest I.

Considering the game contains all 4 episodes in one, and the way it is downloaded prevents us to really understand when it is from, but I can just notice that the data is different from the two other dumps of this game.

Techknight came back with more dumps of all kinds, but the most interesting one is another retail game that has seen a release on Satellaview:

This is Nintama Rantarou Special, a game adaptation of the japanese anime series Nintama Rantarou. It has a lot of talking, including some minigame segments for ninja training and also a platformer. This was released as a Super Famicom cartridge title in Japan. The game seems to have about ~20% of differences when compared with the retail ROM.

He also provides us another redump of Yoshi no Panepon, downloaded on July 25th (year unknown), there are no differences with other dumps:

And then a bunch of Ongaku Tsukuru user made music, which you can play in Ongaku Tsukuru:

And one of the best for last, which is insane that we finally have a dump:

From Andrew Henderson, who provided us dumps before, this is the first dump of content for Shigesato Itoi’s Bass Fishing No.1!

This is a magazine containing tons of tips and tricks, as well as a leaderboard. This magazine is different from the others, because it is a magazine that has to be launched from the game, and not BS-X!

So after downloading this magazine, you had to switch cartridges, put the Memory Pack in the game’s cartridge and then select Memory Pack from the main menu:

This is making me very happy, and of course, it contains brand new magazine music, which I totally ripped as SPC format and uploaded for you all:

I will have more to release very soon, but enjoy these in the meantime!

A paradise of cinema and RPGs… and tides of sound.

Hey, LuigiBlood here. Interesting developments have been happening lately, but here’s the Satellaview goods first.

The following dumps are courtesy of PrincessBeef, who bought a couple Memory Packs and dumped them, we found new previously undumped content.

A cinema e-magazine for the Satellaview, providing a story overview, impressions and context of Vampires, Runaway and There’s something about Mary, as well as some mail Q&As.

It also brings some cool music with it, so I did a SPC rip of them… and I randomly find a short Zelda jingle in there for some reason.

Next is another RPG Tsukuru 2 game that was previously undumped.

It is called Organic Stone. There was apparently a teaser version, but this seems to be a one part full story, so that’s pretty cool. My research is that this is a game produced by ASCII staff and that the story is apparently pretty serious and not really about humor.

Unfortunately my lack of japanese knowledge prevent me to understand more.

Reminder that to play it, you need to insert the Memory Pack on RPG Tsukuru 2, and then go to the first menu, and then the 3rd option (Sample Game) and then select the 2nd game (see screenshot).

If you were following my Twitter last week, I have released a bunch of St. GIGA related aircheck recordings and natural sounds courtesy of an anonymous person who trusted me for the release:

You can now find 80+ hours of St. GIGA’s Tide of Sound radio program here: https://archive.org/details/stgigaarchive

As well as a rip of a couple discs of OCEAN BLUE filled with St. GIGA recordings of natural sounds all around the world here: https://archive.org/details/oceanblue_cdrip

It is very easy to forget that St. GIGA was also providing their own radio service, a pretty ambient radio that wasn’t successful enough to sustain more than a decade.
To access that service, you had to pay a subscription fee, unlike the Satellaview service.

A lot of people don’t know that the Satellaview service was actually free to use (equipment aside), because the data transmission was descrambled, and there was a small window of time where the audio (soundlink) was also descrambled and dedicated to the Satellaview service. They relied on advertisements to keep the cash flowing at the time.

The reception of these St. GIGA content releases was great, I feel like today if St. GIGA still existed, they could have been able to reach a bigger audience.

 

Anyway, that’s about it for this post, have fun with the new releases 🙂

The sound of novelty and horse racing

Here’s a brand new Satellaview Memory Pack dump from Andrew Henderson, with some interesting content, to say the least.

This Memory Pack contains 4 files, filled with brand new undumped content, and everything works.

The first file is オキラクコウザ (お気楽講座), which is actually a first: This is the first dump of a playable Sound Novel Tsukūru DLC!
This is dated June 30th, 1996, and with a bit of a playthrough, this is a very silly one, and it’s fairly hard to find actual information about this.
It starts with a lot of instructions, and a choice between the main story, a minigame and to exit. I did not understand much, unfortunately.

To play it, load the Memory Pack with Sound Novel Tsukuru, select the first option, then the last option, then it should be after the two first samples from the base game.

The second and third file are KANADERU SCORE, which are Ongaku Tsukuru music data. The thing to understand about these files is that they’re basically SRAM backups, not very different in functionality than using ASCII’s Super Turbo File. Loading one of these would replace the SRAM entirely.
What is very interesting however, I believe these are actual downloadable content of some sort because these are some of the actual non converted music used in Ryōma de Yuku!

Normally, you use the convert feature of Ongaku Tsukuru to make a new file compatible with RPG Tsukuru 2 and Sound Novel Tsukuru, but you cannot actually convert back to an editable format, so this is either the Memory Pack of someone who actually made the music, or this was made available via broadcasts.

The fourth file is サテスポDX5号 (Satesupo DX Vol.5), which is a magazine pretty much all about horse racing! You may remember that we have dumped some of these in the past, which also prompted the findings of new Satellaview music (which were in the BS-X ROM the whole time), there’s really not much to say as we don’t really read japanese properly, but we still think these magazines should be preserved too.

The overdump data after those is from a RPG Maker Super Dante title, it cannot be differenciated from any of the Super Dante games like Jewel of Live or Cock-A-Doodle-Doo, there’s nothing to recover.

Here’s the file with the full Memory Pack dump. Again, thanks Andrew Henderson for the dump!

We’re going with 2021 de yuku

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.

Again, a very special thanks for Latesa to provide this Memory Pack and sanmaiwashi to take his time to dump it.
