After getting the XINPUT1_3.dll and doing some key reassinging, the Satellaview/8M Memory Pack ROM Loading seems to work like it used to again. I loaded up Same Game with the Tengai Makyo Data, as well as Konae-Chan no DokiDoki Pengin Kazoku with the BIOs to check it. :D

Nach: I was not refering to any of the BS Dragon Quest ROMs (In fact, that comes out with a valid checksum and plays rather easily.) - although that ROM has some odd behaviors that definately aren't from the standard release. (Namely the boot menu.) byuu: Slotted cart datas do not detect, and when I...

Oh blast! Sorry to bump this topic but... I recently reset my comp (starting over, somewhat), and I went to get the latest BSNES (as of this writing 0.041) But I could not seem to load anything Satellaview-y on it - no Memory Packs or Data Carts. I had to find an old version (0.038) again in order t...

I've also been trying to force-boot the ROM labeled "Satella2-1", but it seems the game also crashed on bootup like Shiren does. (And unlike Shiren, SNES9XSE doesn't boot it, and SNESGT gets as far as a Blue Screen...) http://kiddocabbusses.tryhappy.net/nothingforfree/BS-X/Satella2-1name.P...

"Most games seem to die trying to talk to the modem. I hear d4s has some modem faking stuff with his Ultra-3000 BIOS. I'm not really intending to provide such faking with bsnes, I'd prefer to return exactly what the real thing does -- that there's no satellite signal, because there isn't. "...

Well, if this helps, I recall asking some people about the actual hardware - the internals of the base have some pictures going around, and there's not much in them IIRC. (In fact, I found the pictures on Google Image Search again if anyone needs them.) IIRC the base hardware isn't much more than a ...

Hm. Dang. Perhaps the WaiWai Check ROM is corrupt. Hard to tell really.. (EDIT: As for the BSDQ ROM, I recall booting that a couple times and thinking the boot-up was... very un-Satellaview like. You apparently start off with a menu of what week to play in (So it's essentailly all four episodes in a...

If it helps, all the ROMs you mentioned up to this point play on SNESGT OK. So hopefully whatever problems we got trying to boot these aren't with the software. Or something. EDIT: Idea on what ROM to Force-boot: the ROM labeled "BS Wai Wai Check 3/7" in most of the Goodsets apparently has...

I'd generally prefer trying to hack the Bios to see features hidden within that may not normally be seen than for trying to force-boot other ROMs. Still, interesting. It checks quite a few things, I guess. As for the timer - IIRC the Timer on BSNES is linked to your Windows clock. Assumedly a decisi...

(Snipped. summary: Everyone thinks it's illegal because Nintendo doesn't like it) And just before anyone goes to ask, the legal case which set precedent for such a matter is Atari Vs. Activision. And such a case is why Nintendo never truly could get rid of Sachen (Various titles) or Gamemasters (Ga...

But wouldn't it make sense to archive those that are of at least some merit? Sure, its artificial limiting, but really, is there a point to document all the ROMs that have no real historical value? The main problem is that a judgment of "historical value" is subjective. On top of that, th...

I complain about the dumps for the following reasons: - they do not exist in read-only form - they cannot be obtained any longer and are very, very rare - many of the games "expired", setting a hidden "erase" bit in the headers - many of the games were "deleted" and th...

.. because he [Jesus] claimed to be God. Anyone who has only even remotely cared to open the Bible for a little more than a glimpse can see that Jesus never claimed to be God, but merely being his son with a big 's', or firstborn for that matter. On that note, he also said that some blessed people ...

Hah, good luck with that. :P I considered it a Goldmine when I found even the video recordings I have. I would assume we'd need to find whoever got St.Giga's audio archives to see if they'd possibly have the audio in a good format.

Good idea, too bad that it would require faking a full received broadcast from the satellite. And I don't think those where dumped very well, if at all. Some were dumped better than others, but it was tough to call a long time ago when no one understood the Satellaview and thought that every dump w...

Actaully, I think the most ideal (but also most farfetched and unlikely) solution would be to figure out how to get the BIOs to think the ROM has been put up by St. Giga to download, and then "download" and launch it, like I've seen in many of the videos I collected (BS Super Mario USA, BS...

I ginuea-pigged around with some BS-X ROMs before, but that was quite a bit ago. I should probably try it again. I recall on my last check there were a decent amount that seemed to do "Error 09" even from what looked like a good "original" dump (Albeit not quite -verfied- good du...

Anyone here mind me trying to make any sort of contribution? I just wanted to ask what everyone may have thought about this thread where I mess around with a BS Zelda title. I wanted to note that the latest BSNES is the only emulator in which the ROM behaves in -quite- that fashion. Many others simp...
