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 :

1995/05/14 (1 time per day)

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 :

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

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).

Bounty Prize Check! We found BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 1!

This is LuigiBlood. One day after Did You Know Gaming’s video about the Satellaview, which I do recommend a watch (but also definitely read the corrections in the comments because there were a few things I was bothered with), we were offered the first dump of BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 1!

We partnered with the people who made BS F-Zero Deluxe to ensure the legitimacy of the data as well as additional analysis, and of course, updating BS F-Zero Deluxe as well, and yes, this person who dumped it received the bounty prize money ($2500 per week found) that was offered a while back. Unfortunately, this data does not contain the Week 2 data, which means we only get Forest I and Forest II. Who knows what would be the undertaking for Forest III and Metal Fort I and II. The bounty prize for Week 2 ($2500) is still up for grabs, so if you find it, definitely go to us and we’ll talk (see at the bottom for more information).

I also would like to take this moment to talk about what BS F-Zero is truly about. It’s not just bringing F-Zero to Satellaview, and as you may possibly know, it was also a soundlink game, making the use of the radio audio broadcast as you play the game.

It was an attempt to provide competitive gameplay, particularly focused on time attack, while having live commentary, giving precise information on how to be even more efficient on the track within a limited time, with even a demo example of how to play the track right before training and then Grand Prix. The machines are also different from the original game, which were in BS F-Zero Grand Prix 1 already, with their own stats, differing from the original game.

Two months before BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2’s premiere broadcast, a Practice version was broadcasted to be played as much as you wanted, with the 4 new tracks from previously broadcasted BS F-Zero Grand Prix 1 in one place, alongside the brand new Mute City IV. This was dumped and redumped so many times. If you played F-Zero 99 not too long ago, those are the same tracks as the newly added Ace League in that game, and honestly a major thing that happened with Satellaview content officially from Nintendo, worldwide this time, which is insane. Here’s hoping for more in the future.

But as I said earlier, BS F-Zero Grand Prix is not really just about the new tracks and new machines. They had ghost data from the staff to run against, while live commenters give you tips and tricks on how to beat them as you play, and in this installment, one of the commenters is Barbie Suzuki, which we believe is actually Toshiaki Suzuki, the director of this game, but also many other Satellaview projects and more. In response to the first Grand Prix, they tried to make it easier for new players, with Forest I for example, where the track is very simple and easy to manuver in. The ghost data for this one is even played by Bucky Koba, one of the commenters, who wasn’t necessarily a good player.

It is more experimental than you think it is, and a stark contrast from games like BS Legend of Zelda which used the soundlink audio more to bring more of a story mood on top of the game. Excitebike Bun Bun Mario Battle tried a similar thing too, a focus on competitive time attack, but BS F-Zero is more about to learn how to play, maybe trying to give everyone sort of an even playing field. Who knows if Nintendo tried to do a huge eSports-like focus on this one, but the potential presence of actual game staff on this one would definitely elevate this a little bit further. Remember this is Satellaview, everyone is playing at the same time as everyone else on their own system.

Danyl gave the broadcasts list of BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2:

1997/08/10～1997/08/16（第１週, Week 1）、1997/08/17～1997/08/23（第２週, Week 2）
1997/10/12～1997/10/18（第１週, Week 1）、1997/10/19～1997/10/25（第２週, Week 2）

The fact that until now, all we had was all 4 weeks of BS F-Zero Grand Prix 1 and the Practice version of BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 is just kind of insane. The hopes were so lost that we got the amazing recreation based on the uploads from VHS footage in BS F-Zero Deluxe. This is not the first time this kind of work has been done, the work done to make BS Legend of Zelda Ancient Stone Tablets playable is a similar kind of deal, where data was simply missing and had to recreated from footage.

In fact, if you miss it, you can find another blog post that contains a comparison between the recreation and original data here, you would be impressed:

BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 1 – Reconstructed VS Original Data comparison

So, here it is; first the regular Satellaview dump, then GuyPerfect also made a standalone mod, that can be played no matter the setting, so you can just fast forward however you like.

And of course, BS F-Zero Deluxe has been updated to make use of the data of the new dump!

A huge thanks to the anonymous benefactor for providing this dump, as well as GuyPerfect, Porthor and PowerPanda from BS F-Zero Deluxe team to help make this release possible.

But I want to take this opportunity to also talk about Satellaview preservation: It is hard, and quite frankly and I want to stress this part: very expensive.
It is not necessarily fun to get through Memory Packs, especially since BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 would actually not be visible in menus.
This is the kind of stuff you would only know if you dump the memory of it and not really before. Then count the fact that we release them in the wild, which is almost like throwing money away. There is a possibility that we would never be able to preserve BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 2. We dumped an not insignificant amount of Memory Packs to get this one, up to several hundreds. We got some nice stuff on the way to this one, but nothing that would necessarily bring as much attention as this one.

And, yes, I’ll repeat, the bounty prize ($2500) for Week 2 is still up for grabs! The person behind the dump for Week 1 has received the prize for that one. It’s real serious, if you needed some reassurance about that.
Just to really make sure: Finding BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 2 requires dumping regardless, soundlink games do NOT show up on the menu normally. Those BS-X menu screenshots earlier are from a hacked version of BS-X that removes protection that prevents those from showing up, but the data is still in the Memory Pack as is.

(That all said, if you have other stuff to share, we can talk too.)

The first ROM release of the year which include some VERY special gifts (Featuring Kirby & WaiWai)

Danyl here. but First, happy new year everybody ! (late I know)

2024 was a big year for the Satellaview preservation and this year will also be filled with dumps trust me :))

Anyway here’s the dumps of today :

The first contains a trial version of Clockwerx which takes 1/2nd of SFC Retail, and where you can’t play the time trial mode.

Here the broadcasts list :

1995/11/18,19,21～24（2～3 times per day）
1996/02/01～1996/02/07（1 time per day）

That’s a magazine of the radio program “伊集院光の怪電波発信基地” from July 6th 1996.
If you want to listen the radio broadcast, You can find it in the kukun kun channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2vHm2saDM4

(Some additional notes by Cabbusses:
Kaidenpa Hassin Kichi is a radio program featuring Famitsu’s Hikaru Ijuin.

Going by the NicoNico side of preserving things, this particular program was pretty popular for a Satellaview radio show. Many of the episodes have been available there with clean audio, making it one of the more well-preserved ones.

It seems in particular the segment “Dragon West IX” is popular. While I don’t know the specifics of the contents, the artwork and logo clearly suggest a Dragon Quest parody. Graphics from RPG Tsukuru 2 are also used, although there is no sign that any actual RPG Tsukuru 2 campaign was distributed based on this segment.

Another segment in this episode is a parody of “Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi”, a horror visual novel on the Super Famicom released by Banpresto in 1995. While a recent release at the time, this game did spawn a franchise with several entries, which suggests it was popular enough to be the subject of parody.)

Thanks to sanmaiwashi for having dumped the 3 first ROMs.

That dump is a trial version of Parlor! Mini 4. You can only play one model (precisely the ＣＲ大工の源さん（三洋）one) and there is a time limit.

(Additional notes by Cabbusses:
Parlor Mini 4 has many visual and gameplay similarities to “Let’s Pachinko Nate Gintama” and “BS Parlor! Parlor!”, but has an all-new machine to work with.

Amusingly enough, the machine is actually based on the Hammerin’ Harry series of games.)

I include here the broadcasts list :

1996/11/17～1996/12/07（1 time per day）

This has been dumped by an anonymous benefactor.

Now the most interesting stuff :

This memory pack contains a variant of Kirby’s Toy Box – Ball Rally (the gameplay seems identical but 15% of the data including the internal name are kinda different) and the very last version of WaiWai Check which had been distributed (precisely the 1996-3-28 one).

When you play the Event mode, when you get “Push ??” in Waiwai Check, LuigiBlood found the inputs that you should use :

Round 1: A+X+Down
Round 2: A+B+Up
Round 3: A+Y+Right
Round 4: A+L+Left

This has been also dumped by an anonymous benefactor.

When I told you than this will be filled with some amazing dumps, I didn’t lie to you right?

My first blogpost attempt with some demo/trial versions

Hi, danyl here. You very probably don’t know who I am so let me introduce myself :

I am the last person who joined the team because they recognized my talent and uh… more seriously my role is just for research/datamining the Satellaview stuff and for my first blogpost, here’s a few trials/demo versions than I am responsible to release. Let’s begin ;))

Before to talk about this dump let me tell you a little story if you will, 11 months ago before than I joined the team in July 2023, I found a sale of a mysterious Memory Pack appointed “ミスティックアーク体験版” for around $200.

When I told it to LuigiBlood (because I knew him since February 2023) he said that it wasn’t worth it because originally the sale was for $70 and the seller increased the price.

However, (this is just my opinion) that increase is (partially) justifiable because I know a lot of things about this dump but before I will answer to the questions of some of you might ask: “If nobody of the team bought it, How did you get it ?”

The answer is simple : an anonymous contributor bought it at the last minute (this what LuigiBlood said 3 months later after when I said I was disappointed we didn’t get the dump)

Anyways this is an Demo version of the Enix’s famous RPG, Mystic Ark !

This precisely a demo which contains the intro + the title screen of the game.

Also for the little fun fact: The download date on the header (6/26) corresponds to the Premiere of this game which was the June 26, 1995, Here’s a picture of it below:

Also it got 2 magazines from the radio program “ゲーム虎の大穴” during this premiere date :

虎の大穴6/26　１　18:30 ～ 19:00

虎の大穴6/26　２　22:50 ～ 23:00

The official description is : 超大作ＲＰＧ『ミスティックアーク』のデモバージョンです。

Here’s the broadcast schedule list:

1995/06/26～1995/07/01（2 times per day）
1995/07/20、1995/07/22（1 time per day）

This was a very short broadcast period.

MYSTIC ARK DEMO | ミスティックアークデモバージョン
ROM Download

This is a Trial Version of Super Bomberman Panic Bomber W !

It’s comparable to the SFC retail with some differences like the Multiplayer Mode which is not available and you cannot change the difficulty and Boss fight modes and the biggest difference is that you can only play Round 2 on the story mode where you fight in succession Perth, Brawl and Metal Bomber (the secret opponents and the tutorial are also available in this version).
Edit: Additional notes by Cabbusses: Those familiar with the retail Panic Bomber W will recall that the game uses the SA-1 expansion chip. This demo ROM does not use that chip, which may be helpful to the few people who want to load it on a floppy disc based ROM copier or an ancient ZSNES version.

Like Mystic Ark Demo, the download date on the header (5/1) corresponds to its Premiere Date which is May 1st 1995.

With Elfaria 2 Demo video, it was one of the secret games during Hudson Special Week (Between May 1st an 9th 1995) for promoting the release of Super Bomberman 3.
And I have the official description of “ハドソン特集ｖｏｌ.１” : 「スーパーボンバーマン3」大特集「高橋名人の歴史」もあるよ。

Here’s the broadcast schedule list :

1995/05/01～1995/05/08（Maybe 9th or 10th ?）（1～4 times per day）
1995/07/17～1995/07/24（2 times per day）
1995/08/07～1995/08/13（1～2 times per day）
1995/09/11～1995/09/15（1 time per day）

This one is a little bit strange because we already got a similar ROM which was just appointed “ドカポン外伝” which was a retail game of the Game Best Selection which had begun in August 1996.

But here, this is a little bit different because this is the Game Tora no Ooana secret version.

According to LuigiBlood, Its seems to be identical to the previous dump of Dokapon Gaiden – Honoo no Audition in terms of content, but a lot of content is all 00s instead (precisely there are 30% of differences). Also it seems to have 8 limited starts.

Here’s the broadcast schedule list:

1995/11/16～1995/11/23（2～3 times per day）
1995/12/27、1996/01/02（1 time per day）

And…. That’s all for the moment.

“Check” it Out: For July 4th, The Real American Wai to Release a ROM… “English, mutha*****, we speak it!”

EDIT: Correction on something near the bottom of the page. “Pro Mahjong Kiwame” was listed as a redump. It turns out, the 8M pack version was not dumped before. It matches retail. The original text has not been changed since re-formatting the article to accomodate this info would be a bit a pain.

For America’s Independence Day, we are celebrating by releasing new ROM dumps alongside their already-complete English translations!
This ROM release comes with a writeup by NewsFedora. (Preface by Cabbusses)

Today we bring you something that is both new but still familiar: two more dumps of WaiWai Check and another installment of Tamori no Picross.

If you’ve not played WaiWai Check before, these are simple minigames that were broadcast pretty regularly early in the Satellaview’s life. Essentially they’re “spot the difference” games, with each week’s broadcast featuring two different stages to choose from.

We’ve had a few of these dumped in the past and while you don’t NEED to know Japanese to play these, rom hacker Krokodyl has released English translation patches of the three previously dumped WaWai games for added convenience:
WaiWai Kids (https://krokodyl.github.io/post/2023/07/waiwai-kids/),
WaiWai Check 11/15 (https://krokodyl.github.io/post/2023/07/waiwai-check-11-15/) and
WaiWai Check 03/21 (https://krokodyl.github.io/post/2023/07/waiwai-check-3-21/)

Today’s release features two more installments of WaiWai Check and perhaps in a first, we are also simultaneously releasing English translation patches, courtesy Krokodyl!

(Video embed by Cabbusses)

The first dump, WaiWai Check 8/26, also features a 9/6 broadcast of Tamori no Picross.

Wait. Actually, if I may just take a brief detour from the WaiWai Check talk, this dump of Tamori no Picross is also quite notable: while it’s a rebroadcast, it appears to be of a previously unknown and undumped episode that dates to 5/10. If that’s accurate, then that means it was first broadcast only a few weeks after Satellaview’s launch of April 23, 1995! We know there’s at least one more still-undumped episode of Picross, which was part of that April 23 launch-day lineup. But still, finding another episode that’s nearly as old — even if it’s a rebroadcast — gives me hope we can one day find that very first Picross installment.

Ok, now back to WaiWai Check. I believe this is also the oldest WaiWai Check dump we’ve found so far, and features a different title screen compared to later WaiWai Checks.

The first stage features Satellaview mascots Satebo and Parabo. You get a special message if you clear 10 rounds.

The second stage is for an RPG-ish looking level called Blunder Town, which we’ve seen previously in the WaiWai Check 11/15 episode. Krokodyl notes over on his translation github that there are some differences between this episode of WaiWai Check compared to others, as well as secret button combinations needed to access different rounds of Blunder Town.
[As of present, the nature of why these secret codes are needed to progress through this version’s Blunder Town is a mystery, and may need Soundlink audio archival from an earlier date than anything that has been uploaded prior for the context. In the meantime, the codes are on Krokodyle’s site. ~ Cabbusses]

The next dump and translation we have for you today is WaiWai Check 11/22, and it features the title screen seen in the previously dumped 11/15 and 03/21 weeks.
[This dump is credited to danyl. ~ Cabbusses]

The first stage is… Blunder Town. Again.

But on the plus side, the second is a new stage, this time called “Taisho Roman”.

One more noteworthy thing about WaiWai Check 11/22 is that a version of this broadcast has already been dumped and been in circulation for years… but nobody ever noticed it!

This game was present in No-Intro’s “Undake 30 Same Game Daisakusen – Mario Version (Japan)” but had been deleted. It was fully recoverable however, and now with this new dump we can verify that it is identical, with just the name and date being different. As a bonus and for completionist’s sake, we’re including that original No-Intro rom along with its recovered 11/22 WaiWai Check for you all.

Thanks so much to anon for dumping Tamori no Picross 9/6 and WaiWai Check 8/26, Danyl for dumping WaWai Check 11/22, and Krokodyl for translating both WaiWai Checks. Be sure to check out Kroko’s github for the patches as well as more information about playing these games.

We’ve got much, much more on the horizon, so stick around, it’s about to get busy up in here.

BONUS: I’m putting up some assorted redumps.
Most of these are probably not important to anyone outside people wanting dumps to be double-verified, but they may still be useful for research of dates of broadcast.

NEARBY MILESTONE ROM RELEASE: The Penultimate Puyo. (Last one will drive me Madou I swear)

While Danyl still works on that big batch, I’m gonna take a few notable chunks and release them separately. This is, obviously, to keep the page active, and also to hopefully make Danyl’s job a bit easier with a smaller amount of ROMs necessary to work with.
(NOTE: Danyl has done some edits to the article. Please excuse any unusual changes in formatting or writing style.)

I’m gonna start with one I spent a sizable amount of my own monies for. Now, it’s been a while since I did that, partly because I really shouldn’t be doing that with how broke I am, but this dump is a tad important. You know why?

Let me recap the prior Puyo Puyo-related ROM dumps on Satellablog. This is useful especially if you’re new to this blog, which may well be the case considering it’s almost as old now as the Satellaview was when it was first made…

PRIOR RELEASES.
Super Puyo Puyo
Super Puyo Puyo Tsuu BS Ban
Super Puyo Puyo Tsuu Remix BS Ban
Super Nazo Puyo
Super Nazo Puyo Tsuu For Satellaview
ALSO Super Aleste

You might be thinking “Wow, you got every Puyo Puyo game!”
But you’d actually be wrong!
There’s two more to add this set… the one of theses last games is in the “Madou Monogatari” line that is on the Super Famicom.
That’s “Madou Monogatari – Hanamaru Daiyouchienji”.

It, in fact, did have a Satellaview download demo!

Here’s a video of the demo in action. It’s a pretty long video, though, so I’ll leave some text info for the tl;dw crew.

Among of the quick notes:
1) The game starts right away, even if you press nothing on the title screen. There is no save menu. The game restarts from the opening cutscene on player death.
2) The game goes through the first study session and a little bit of exploring the Forest of Light, seemingly stopping in it’s tracks right when you would get the Ribbit Boots and leaving you softlocked.
3) You are not able to go anywhere outside your home town or the Forest of Light.
4) While there’s not a lot of known differences, there is a pretty notable difference in the Forest of Light battle BG. Here is the one used in this demo:

(I unfortunately was not able to recruit any dataminers for further assistance in spotting differences.)
5) The download date on the header is 2/11. As a frame of reference, the retail game’s release date is January 12, 1996. As such, this is likely from a broadcast that came after the retail game’s release.
6) According to Kameb’s Satellaview history museum site, which has a section on games featured on various Game Tora no Ooana broadcasts, Madou Monagatari had features on 12/28/1995 and 1/18/1996 respectively:

12/28(木) 新作ソフト(魔導物語はなまる大幼稚園児)
秘伝ソフト(もってけｏｈ！ドロボー)

(Translation of relevant portion: “New software (Madou Monogatari Hanamaru Kindergarten)”)

1/19(金) 今週のお買い物情報(1/19)
秘伝ソフト(魔導物語)
リコちゃん電話(嫌いなジャンル)

(Translation of relevant portion: “This week’s shopping information (1/19) Secret software (Madou Monogatari)” )

Here’s an (abridged I guess) broadcast list provided by danyl:

1995/12/28 – 1996/01/10 (broadcast 2 times per day)
1996/02/01 – 1996/02/11 (maybe 12th ?) (broadcast 2 times per day)

The 8M Dump was, according to LuigiBlood, sent by an anonymous contributor.

And with that, NOW did we got every Puyo game on the Satellaview ?

Not really we have to find a last one which is an Sample Version of Super Nazo Puyo Rulue no Roux where you can play the trial course with 6 levels.

Here the list of broadcasts provided by danyl:

1995/06/05～1995/06/11 （2 times per day until the 9th after, this is 3 time per day）

1995/07/17～1995/07/23（3 times per day）

1995/08/14、1995/08/18、1995/10/22 (??? times per day)

Also it’s had been mentionned on the “かべ新聞ニュース” of June 2, 1995 (which can be found on this spreadsheet realised by Danyl:

「す～ぱ～なぞぷよ」秘伝ゲームで放送決定！！

★５月２６日に発売されたばかりの最新ソフト『す～ぱ～なぞぷよ』（バンプレスト）が、
６／５～６／１１の虎の大穴秘伝ゲームとして登場するぞ。
★続いて今月のオンエア予定を教えちゃおう。
『超原人２』『ミスティックアーク』が６月中に登場予定。
乞うご期待。
Translation by Danyl:

“Super Nazo Puyo” will be broadcast as a secret game ! !

★The latest software “Super Nazo Puyo” (Banpresto), which was just released on May 26th, will be released as a secret game of Tiger’s Long Hole from 6/5 to 6/11. ★Next, let me tell you about this month’s on-air schedule. “Genjin 2” and “Mystic Ark” are scheduled to be released in June. stay tuned.

Of all the milestones I hoped to achieve, this will be probably the most unexpected one

I take it fans of Compile really loved the retro Puyo Puyo games, as I’m certain this would not have been possible without the most hardcore of them preserving their 8M packs!

I remember seeing other old media, like manga publications, and it seemed like in the old days you’d see Arle side-by-side with Mario and Pikachu in terms of iconic video game characters.

The era of Puyo Puyo Tsuu and Sun must have been a magical time for them…

I hope I am helpful in reliving your memories!

BS SUPER MARIO COLLECTION NEXT, GUYS? :3 (Spoilers: No, but we got some other Soundlink stuff incoming.)

BY THE WAY: Since we also got Super Aleste, that leaves one Compile-devved Super Famicom game without a 8M Pack dump. That is Jaki Crush, released in 1992, published by Naxat Soft. (This is assuming Spriggan Powered doesn’t count)

The biggest batch so far (Part 1)

Hi, LuigiBlood here. I’m late. Very late. Happy Pride month, by the way!

Since the last post in February of this year, a lot of things happened. Anytime I was getting a decent batch, it kept growing up, and delayed it even further. It became almost daunting to manage, especially after a certain anonymous benefactor just dumped like… 40 Memory Packs for me to check since then. Then I kept getting plot twists.

So it got to about 25 things to release. That’s too many to release at once, so I seperated in two batches for me to release some things faster.

I will start with some of the most important stuff, because 2 of these releases has been funded by people:

We actually have been looking for this for a long time. This is the last one of the 3 Dezaemon games that we dumped for a while.

For more context, Dezaemon is a shoot ’em up game editor, released for Famicom, Super Famicom, Playstation, Saturn and Nintendo 64, and with the Super Famicom version, there was also a trilogy of games broadcasted on Satellaview.

This one from the Sugoi STG series was created by Riko Kushida (櫛田理子) from the Game Tora no Ooana (虎の大穴) team, a weekly Satellaview radio program usually coming with a magazine supplement. The name is Jintai (人体) which means Human Body, and boy… does it show.

We finally completed the Satella-Shooting Trilogy, and this one needed some fundraising, and I need to credit the following people who were happy enough to donate money for this:

Video Game History Foundation
Jonas Rosland
cmstar0
dillydylan
Hiccup
History of Hyrule
Ballz
Matthew Callis
Hubz

Amazing STG – Human Body | 凄いSTG 人体
ROM Download

We had known about this one for a while, but we finally have it.

Bounty Sword is one of the very few real time strategy games on the Super Famicom and was released in stores, on a cartridge, the ROM is actually 3 Megabytes!
Considering that the Satellaview Memory Pack only allows 1 Megabyte of storage, this means this is a cut down version.

I’ve left the research to ChronoMoogle, who liked the base game, and was more than happy to help explain differences between the retail and BS Version:

The titlescreen lacks its intro / background animations and has the subtitle “Satellaview Special Time Attack Version”.
The save file menu is missing, it jumps straight into the game after pushing start on the title screen.
The story cutscenes are extremely simplified and only show text.
The map screen and other features between chapters are missing.
Each chapter gives you a time limit of 2 minutes.
-> If a chapter is beaten within these 2 minutes, the game advances to the next one.
-> If it reaches zero, the game goes back to the titlescreen without any saved progress.
Dialogue during chapter gameplay seems to be mostly the same, but the player will be reminded how much time is remaining periodically.
It is pretty tough to even beat Stage 1 within 2 minutes, so cheats would probably be needed to check how many chapters of the game are actually in the data.

As this also needed money, I would also thank ChronoMoogle for the funding of this release as well!

This one is identical to the retail release except for 2 bytes. This is Soreyuke Ebisumaru Karakuri Meiro – Kieta Goemon no Nazo!!, a spinoff game of the Goemon series from Konami, where you guide Goemon’s sidekick, Ebisumaru, to the goal, through a 3D isometric labyrinth by changing the arrow panels as he walks through them.

This was dumped by an anonymous benefactor.

This one is also identical to the retail release, it also has no starts left so it won’t show up on the BS-X menu by default, but that can be easily bypassed!

This is a Super Famicom version of one of the games of Activision’s Shanghai series of Mahjong Solitaire, where you just match two identical tiles together to make them disappear, until it’s empty. It’s playable alone or with 2 players competitively.

This was also dumped by an anonymous benefactor.

This is another retail identical thing, this time however, it’s Lufia & The Fortress of Doom! This one has 2 starts left.

There’s not much to say, it’s the first game of the Lufia RPG series from Taito. I know there’s a lot of retail identical titles for this batch, but Satellaview is also this, a bunch of retail rereleases with limited amounts of starts sometimes, think of them like demos but with the full game.

Huge thanks to Hubz who managed to get this.

Okay, we still have some more games that were released on retail, but I promise, this time it’s a bit more interesting:

This is a cut down playable demo version of Supapoon DX! If you leave the game on the title screen, it would show gameplay demos, but also advertises the full game’s content, such as 100 stages in Story Mode, that you can have fun with everyone in Versus Mode, and ends, with, of course, a “Coming Soon!”

It’s a fun breakout clone game that can played in both single player and multiplayer!

The final game is 1 MB, but they actually made a Satellaview demo version with half the size, 512 KB instead.

Huge thanks to sanmaiwashi for sharing this! And thanks to danyl as well for remotivating me to get back in touch with him!

This is a non playable demo showcase of Elfaria II – The Quest of the Meld. Yes, non playable. This is a pretty substancial and very long showcase of the game’s story, characters and RPG gameplay elements, and ends with credits info and the release date and price of the game. This game was never released outside of Japan.

Again, thanks to sanmaiwashi for the dump!

Okay, the retail stuff are out of the way for this part 1 of this batch, now back to unique Satellaview content.

More content in the Satellaview magazine format! Freud’s Challenge 11th time. Except it’s literally the same as the 2nd version, 95% of the data is identical, just seems to be sorta recompiled.

Freud’s Challenge is a series of psychological tests (putting aside how Freud isn’t really the best example of our time), where you’re put through a bunch of situations, with a question to answer with several choices, or maybe an image to pick through. It’s certainly one of the many oddities of the Satellaview.

There are dumps of 1 through 6 already, and the fact that 11 is basically 2 is certainly feeling more like a rerun.

This is data to be used for Same Game Tsume Game. It’s basically custom graphics to select for Same Game. This is named “User Same Game” in the BS-X menu, there are editors for custom graphics for it, but this is… weird. I don’t actually know for certain if it’s user data or a download. I have absolutely no context for it, but I wanted to release an example of addon data for Same Game that isn’t the usual kind from retail stores.

There were several dumps of BS Nintendo HP. HP stands for Homepage, it’s a Satellaview magazine version of the Nintendo website, where they shared a lot of news about the future of their consoles, incoming games and everything. It used to be deleted via BS-X, so it was “undeleted” to be usable. This means as a result that the data integrity cannot be certain.

The music is also something to behold. This is from February 21st, 1999. Super Smash Bros. even has a full featured menu to explain the game, characters and all!

It’s interesting how late this is, considering Nintendo was about to pull the plug for new Satellaview content support in a month then, leaving St. GIGA alone at the helm after a bad fallout, only able to rebroadcast content.

This dump is brought to you by, again, sanmaiwashi!

I brought you Cheap de Gorgeous Vol. 5 last year, well here’s Vol. 4, dumped by Denizbkg01!

This one was not deleted this time, so the data integrity is totally fine. As a reminder, this is a cooking magazine with recipes and food talk.

The music is the same as Vol. 5, so the music SPC rip is not really needed here.

This next one, we owe you an apology. We had this dump since 2019. It seems that in the process of research at the time, the release just was completely forgotten.

A wrong now fixed. This is “Derby Stallion 96 – Nintendo Breeders’ Cup National Betting Championship Tournament 3”, a soundlink title of horse racing where you can bet on horses… for pretty much already predefined races and results for each, you can watch the original broadcast from back then thanks to kukun kun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt2n2l4DLAo

This dump, unfortunately, was corrupted. The download includes both the original dump and a modified version to make it playable.

And, finally, the last one for Part 1:

This is sort of an insane one because we had UNDAKE 30 Same Game Mario Version before. And that was it. There were more UNDAKE 30 titles, such as this one.

This is UNDAKE 30 Ura Game Daisakusen, on a similar principle to Same Game where you make all objects attached to the one you selected that are the same disappear, except there’s a twist that some of them change when you select them before it registers. There’s also a hidden golden 7 that makes you gain more points.

This Memory Pack also includes a redump of Kouryaku Casino Bar Kinyoubi – Slots.

Part 2 will come as fast as I can, there’s really a lot of dumps to deal with. You should not wait too long, there’s still interesting stuff to release.

Wario’s First Event and Pirates that beeps

Hey, LuigiBlood here, and happy new year, because I got a nice batch of redumps but also a bunch of new stuff.

I’ll just put the redumps out of the way from an anonymous person, first.

These are all identical to what was dumped in the past so I won’t really explain much, just rely on the included txt file to help you figure out.

Now, the cooler stuff:

From Ballz who got us a nice Memory Pack with a new version of WaiWai Check, dumped by our nice Matthew Callis 🙂

It’s basically a series of spot the difference under a time limit game, which can be played up to players, and of course you can have a password to send via postcard.

These have gotten different versions dumped in the past, but this one is from a different date, and names itself a rerun, so this seems interesting. It’s a pretty fun game, actually.

The Memory Pack also contains Kouryaku Casino Bar Nichiyoubi – Roulette but it’s actually corrupted.

Now all the rest are from people who prefers to stay anonymous:

This is Jissen! Pachi-Slot Hisshouhou! Yamasa Densetsu. This is just the exact same data as the retail game, but it is technically new because we had never found this one on Satellaview before. The music actually impressed me a lot when I tried it (and then didn’t understand how to even play).

There’s really a lot of casino and pachislot games, aren’t there?

This one scared me. The file name is actually different, but it’s STILL BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Practice. But it’s… weirdly different in the data itself that I thought it deserved a bit of attention because of the Password screen actually showing up this time, according to TCRF this screen does not really show up normally, but I played this and it does show up here.

I couldn’t tell any other difference otherwise, but I’m sure some F-Zero fans could maybe check.

I asked ChronoMoogle to help me figure out this new magazine, and he wrote a nice summary:

Zubari Sangatsu Gou (Concise March Issue) is a month-themed magazine by St. Giga.

It features the following sections:
1. A section looking at cultural customs, dishes, events and such of March
2. Holidays of the month – Vernal Equinox Day (Shunbun no Hi) in this case
3. Advertisement for the flower store Shimojima with related present raffle
4. Music Charts – Consisting of the “current” Top 20 most sold CDs in Japan and a International Top 20 curated by St. Giga
5. New book recommendations, advertising Kodansha
6. Advertisement for seasonal sweets from Toraya
7. Horoscopes of the month

The magazine uses fonts from the BS-X BIOS, but the graphics (mostly backgrounds and pixelated photos) and more importantly, the music appears to be stored in the ROM, so there might be some original BGMs in there.

The other thing that the anonymous person made me pay attention on, this magazine released around the time when Nintendo would stop support for the Satellaview entirely, as they dropped around that time after a pretty complicated to explain debacle between Nintendo and St. GIGA’s future planning…

Again, thanks to ChronoMoogle to help us figure this out 🙂

Wario’s Woods on Satellaview is kinda weird, it had a lot of presence somehow, we got several versions of it, but I believe this is the last one to find: this is Wario’s Woods Event Version 1.

We had Version 2 before, and if you wonder who are these people, they’re part of Bakusho Mondai performers and they’re Satellaview personalities who show up on the radio on Satellaview.

There are changed menus and stuff, but the naming of the file is weird. “Event Wario 5/18 Version 2” which is… very unclear. I’m not entirely sure of the context here, but I’m glad that we have sort of completed the Wario’s Woods Satellaview collection.

Now the real star of the show:

After many many years, we finally got Pico Pico Pirates! It was a game that we knew the existence of for a long time, but simply could never find it until today.

The developer is not really listed, there are rumors that it was made during a seminar, but there’s no definitive source for that. The game kinda feels like Super Scope 6 in some way, but make no mistake, it isn’t.

This is basically a game where you shoot pirates from a flying Super Nintendo controller, and of course, you have to press the buttons where they show up at. It gets really crazy after several stages of this, it is difficult to finish.

But this isn’t the only thing that we could find from this specific Memory Pack…

There’s another RPG Maker Super Dante game in it, which a portion of the data was overwritten by Pico Pico Pirates.

After comparing with other Satellaview Super Dante games, I found out that this is actually completely recoverable, and while we cannot confirm the full validity of the data, this meant this could be made playable, and lucky are we when I found out there’s a video of this specific RPG on YouTube:

The intro seems to fully correspond to what I have, so I made the header data correspond to the video. This is the first time that I have recovered something in this way, and I’m glad that it works.

This is called Sugoi RPG? (could be translated like “A Great RPG?”, this seems to be the second and final part of it, where visibly a lot of events happened and seems to be a game that doesn’t take itself seriously featuring Famitsu and its staff.

Here’s the download to get both:

And there you have it folks, I’m very glad that we got a bunch of previously undumped Satellaview content today, and here’s to have more of them in the future!

A huge thanks to everyone involved for these releases!
