I think I’ve decided that, starting from this year, the end of the year will conclude with a summary of the year of some kind.<\/p>\n
I’ll start this with looking back at the New Year’s Resolutions.<\/a> Obviously enough, we didn’t get all of them. I’ll reference any that were notable this year, though;<\/p>\n “Rest of Kouryaku Casino Bar” – While we didn’t grab all of them, we did grab two more.<\/a><\/p>\n “Rest of RPG Tsukuru SUPER DANTE standalone games” – We managed to grab “Cock-A-Doodle-Doo”, leading to one of the notable milestones of the year.<\/p>\n All the rest still need to be done and will be moved into the next year’s resolutions.<\/p>\n Next, I’ll make note of any major milestones.<\/p>\n To start, obviously, are some new emulators. We learned that some outright bizarre hidden content can be unearthed from the ROMs.<\/a> We can also hack a certain one pretty dramatically.<\/a><\/p>\n In a rather shocking swerve, we’ve learned that It’s perfectly possible to dump a revision of an already dumped game with different code, ranging from ads to actual game rule changes.<\/a><\/p>\n We’ve got a bit of a closer taste of how clean Satellaview Soundlink sounds.<\/a><\/p>\n Among other ROM dumps, we’ve explored elaborate demos,<\/a>, unearthed a few lost tidbits of the narrative of BS-X<\/a>, confirmed the existence of indie-gaming on the Satelaview,<\/a> and finally grabbed some RPG Tsukuru 2 data that wasn’t homebrew.<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, over at The BS Zelda Homepage<\/a>, Madhatter confirmed the Satellaview to have a lot of demos, FireBrandX restored a rare piece of BS Zelda music, and of course, the hack projects are always better than they’ve ever been before.<\/p>\n Wow, that’s quite a lot considering that I hardly scratched two of my resolutions, huh?<\/p>\n Sometimes as I delve deeper and deeper into this, I wonder if I’m in over my head. But then again, if that is the case, then that is where I need to be to get the job done, right?<\/p>\n I hope to have even more for everyone next year. And the year after that. And… yeah, you know what I mean.<\/p>\n Of course, it may not be so simple, considering I’m also planning to prepare for something else next year…<\/p>\n It’ll be the 20th Anniversary of the Sega Pico. That means I need to do something for the Pico Palace<\/a>, stat!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nno$sns<\/a>, bsnes-sx2 and snes9x-sx2<\/a> have made dramatic strides to improve Satellaview emulation. Also, the sd2snes<\/a> has given SNES owners a chance to play many Satellaview games on their hardware in a manner closer to the way they were meant to be played.<\/p>\n
