ROM Release Rush – Hey, this one isn’t a Data Pack…!

Since I’ve been having a bit of a computer shuffle lately, I figured I should finish up releasing these ROMs before I forget to. Unfortunately, this means they aren’t all entirely researched thoroughly, but it’s better to make sure they’re up now, I guess.

ROM Release – Whats? Unsorted and Unplayable, how do these Data Packs work?

(EDIT: For some reason some issues came around with the filenames of these files before. I went and did a quick-fix for the time being.)
I remember quite a while a go posting a guide for how to boot the Same Game Koma data pack. Unfortunately, as Callis dumped more and more ROMs, I found that other data packs do not seem to work with same method – to the best of my knowledge, many of these simply will not work.

So I’ve decided to just put these up as is as see if other people can help analyze them. Because I have not been able to run these, I do not know of the contents of them.

A piece of data labeled “Nintendo 97 Race Data” or somesuch. The closest I can get to something that’d match up to this is a listing of a title called「ダビスタ９６」対応− ９７年度版, (Derby Stallion 96 Support, Version 1997.)

A Data Pack which has a header of “Same Game Koma Editor 4”

Some SD Gundam G-Next data.

sets of data labeled “Kanaderu Convert”. Are they all the same?

Some Sound Novel Tsukuru data

And finally, this assorted set of data packs, which seem to be RPG Tsukuru and Sound Novel Tsukuru data.

Coincidence? What timing for more BS Fire Emblem videos!

It seems a short while after the announcement of the remake of BS Fire Emblem on the Nintendo DS, a NicoNicoDouga resident decided to celebrate by uploading videos of Episodes 3 and 4, finishing up a video series I sought complete for a while.

I’m gonna mirror Dai-3-wa up here, folks! Finally, we’ll hear Rickard’s voice!… and he kinda sounds more or less like I expected him too, strangely enough.

Dai-4-wa will be put up later, but if you want to check it out right now – you impatient little children you – I put download links at Serenesforest!

The next Fire Emblem game to recreate the BS Fire Emblem chapters? (UPDATED with Official Site info)

Man, I skip going to SerenesForest for like 10 days and I miss -everything-, don’t I?

They’ve recently updated their site with this page!

Apparently info on the next DS entry for Fire Emblem is out. It is a remake of the first SNES Game entry, Monshou no Nazo. One of the motable changes, however, is the addition of the female mercenary from BS Fire Emblem, and the assurance that one of the “Extras” for the game is, in fact, the ability to play the BS Fire Emblem story!

This could be quite a bombshell if true – it’s the 15th Anniversary of the Satellaview’s release, and what better way to celebrate it than Nintendo finally acknowledging that the add-on existed!

I’m waiting for more info on this one! 😀

UPDATE:

Nintendo’s official webpage on the new game has updated with the BS Fire Emblem info.


NicoNicoDouga plays Koi ha Balance.

I put up a short video of Koi ha Balance before, but this series of videos played by people who can actually read the game’s dang text is probably much better than mine.
As per what was not my usual method of writing this up but probably should be, NicoNicoDouga links first, then hit “Click here for more” to watch my reuploads:
