Emulating the Satellaview – some new ROMs need BSNES!

(This article was edited from how it originally appeared on the blog due to the need to update it.)

BS Fuurai no Shiren: Surara wo Sukue, Dai-1-wa

You might know this game under the Nintendo DS version “Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer”, which was the first version to have an English localization. However, it originally appeared on the Super Famicom – and has a Satellaview version.

Download Games: Rehashity.

I’m sure a few of you have noted my links, right?

I’ve been digging into the Satellaview History Museum And I saw on there a schedule showing a lot of game titles, I decided to look a few of them up, and it turns out a decent amount match a lot of common Super Famicom releases. I will post some videos of some specific ones here.

Note that these probably aren’t from the Satellaview-downloaded versions – I’m just going with gut instinct in believing these specific ones are the same as they are on cartridges. These ones I downloaded are apparently Tool-Assisted Speedruns.

アクトレイザー

Actraiser. This should be a well-known one to you guys.

スーパーボンバーマン２

Super Bomberman 2. Oddly enough, I didn’t note other “Super Bomberman” entries.

スーパー桃太郎電鉄2

“Super Momotarou Densetsu 2”. Apparently this is a series of party-style board games themed around the ol’ Japanese story.

キッドクラウンの クレイジーチェイス

“Kidd Clown’s Crazy Chase”. A peculiar Super Nintendo game.
