A Satellaview research blog.

Volleyed a redump.

Putting a 8M Pack ROM dump up today.

It’s nothing too big a deal, though. It’s a redump of “Super Volley II” which was dumped previously by… shoot, I’ll need to dig up those No-Intro archives to figure it out. But anyway, Callis dumped this new one.

St.GIGA radio, just a month before the Satellaview…

So it seems I haven’t gotten around to search “St.GIGA” on NicoNicoDouga in a while. That’s not good!

I tried a few days ago, and a set of uploads from last July caught my attention. Once again, someone uploaded a large chunk of St.GIGA satellite radio archival. So large, in fact, that I’m only gonna put the first portion here for now, and link the rest.

Because I can’t properly integrate this into the blog yet…

Here’s a link to my Twitter.

I’ve been using it a lot more lately! In particular, I’ve been attempting to communicate with Japanese Satellaview fans over Twitter. With crappy Google Translate Wapanese, I’ll admit, but it’s better than nothing… hopefully!

Among some of the interesting things I’ve learned:

1) Many Japanese folks romanize the system as “Satella-View”, in spite of Nintendo’s official logos for it.
2) It was considered an expensive setup, and a few folks who may have wanted it didn’t get it because of the expense.
3) As expected, Yoshi no Panepon is one of the most well-known titles. Of course, Radical Dreamers is frequently mentioned, as well.
4) I frequent get commented on when I follow these people. 😛 (Indeed, I’m basically being a total madman here.)
5) There is at least one other person interested in dumping and archiving 8M Memory Pack ROM files. 🙂

I’m hoping to enhance the communications between Satellaview fans, and maybe attract the attention of more archivists – or perhaps people from older Japanese ROM scenes who may have held on to otherwise-long-lost ROM dumps. I’m hoping that I can get more folks interested. And that I’m not embarassing myself -too much-…..


New ROM dump is mysteriously headered.

I’ve been holding on to a few ROMs from earlier in the year for a good while, which I haven’t had the chance to release yet. Thankfully, I think I got some time now!

This release is thanks to ChronoMoogle and ikari_01, from SNESFreaks, of course!

Diglett dig!

More schedule romanizing!

Unfortunately, August 7th through August 13th, 1995 seems like it was a fairly boring week in regard to new content. The only new entries appear to be followups to the enigmatic “Hyaku Monogatari” series and a demo version of Akumajou Dracula XX (which is different from the retail, shrinked from 16 to 8 mbit). Everything else was already listed in the previous week which ChronoMoogle covered.
