Hey, apologies for the lack of updates here. I have become a heavy contributor to the Satellaview+ project.<\/a>
\nI hope you guys are willing to check that out in your free time.<\/p>\n

There are some ROMs I want to save for releasing on notable dates, so I will not have major releases today. But these may be interesting to people who enjoy trying to datamine, or to make something out of incomplete dumps.<\/p>\n

First off, let’s start with 3 redumps of Undake30 SameGame Mario version. Now, for dumps of this game in particular, that’s probably excessive. However, if you deeper into some of them… interesting things can be found<\/p>\n

Undake 30 Same Game Daisakusen – Mario Version (11-16) (Leftover data from Wizardry 7 Demo)<\/a><\/p>\n

It turns out a demo of Wizardry VII was broadcast, and the incomplete data here confirms it.<\/p>\n

Here’s some info danyl dug up about it.<\/p>\n

Its allow you to see the opening demo and listen 36 different sounds.
\n1995\/09\/23\uff5e1995\/09\/27 (2 times per day)
\n1995\/10\/24\uff5e1995\/10\/31 (1 time per day)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This seems pretty basic and barebones, which probably explains why the user would replace it with something more like a proper game.
\nI wonder if it is possible to take the data we got from this to construct the demo, based on the description?<\/p>\n

Undake 30 Same Game Daisakusen – Mario Version (11-11) (Leftover data from Leading Jockey 2)<\/a><\/p>\n

This one confirms the game “Leading Jockey 2” was broadcast on the service. This is a horse-race sim akin to the Derby Stallion series. The data appears to match the retail version identically.<\/p>\n

Undake 30 Same Game Daisakusen – Mario Version (5-29) (BS Fuurai no Shiren episode 4 data)<\/a><\/p>\n

This third one has data from episode 4 of “BS Fuurai no Shiren”, which demonstrates how easy it is for a Soundlink game to have been overwritten… thankfully, this is one we recovered prior to this dump.<\/p>\n

There is one other dump we have with some mind-blowing leftover data, but I’m saving it for Halloween, because it feels appropriate for that time….<\/p>\n

Some more redumps:<\/p>\n

Super Bomberman 2<\/a>
\nYoshi no Panepon<\/a>
\nMystic Ark (deleted header)<\/a>
\nArkanoid – Doh it Again (incomplete)<\/a>
\nSatespo DX Dai-5-gou<\/a>
\nBS Tantei Club – Chuuhen (Corrupted)<\/a>
\nCu-On-Pa BS (corrupted)<\/a>
\nUser Same Game<\/a>
\nF-Zero (Corrupted)<\/a>
\nIkari no Yousai (Corrupted)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
