    Just found this...God I love it when people don't check their memory cards before selling their Satellaviews.

    I read that the BS Zelda cannot be played now because of the clock and the live voice features that it had and you could only play at the broadcast time. I think there was three Zelda games in the end, BS Zelda no Densetsu (had four parts to it) BS Zelda no Densetsu: Map 2 (had four parts to it) BS Zelda no Densetsu: Kodai no Sekiban (had four parts to it). I think there was a version of the normal game too and you can still play that one.
     
  4. theres a hacked dump where the clock doesnt run out iirc, not sure about a legit one tho, whats the word japan-games

    You can find the various versions: regular, time hacked, Link sprite hacked, etc, around the Net. The sad thing is that none of them work in any SNES/SFC copiers that I know of.

    None of the clean dumps of them are finishable, but there are hacked versions that enables Ganon's dungeon + puts in the last heart pieces and such.


    The reason for this is probably 'cause if I've understood this right, BS-X games were broadcasted over a period, and as time went by, more stuff was added/opened, so in order to finish BS Zelda properly, someone has to find a sample of it on a BS-X card that is from the last/final week (Don't take me on the word, but I seem to recall someone saying that the dump/rom floating around is from the 3rd out of 4 weeks, and thus has the final parts still sealed off)

    Also, like ccovel says, unfortunatly, none of the hacked versions seems to run on any copiers. I know I've tested several BS-X games on my "Hyper Effect Pro.9" and some works, others don't, and I seem to recall that the untouched BS-Zelda works on it.

    Would be cool if a final week/complete one showed up. (and someone made the translation and savegame/title-screen hack work on hardware)

    I remember rumours of this being the start of a Zelda All-stars type cartridge project. It was mentioned several times in Superplay back in the day, which was one of the best magazines ever written in the UK for gaming. That doesn't mean it was a true rumour of course, but it would have made sense.

    An official remake of the original Zelda (NES) that was sold in Japan in sections (Section1=Overworld+Dungeon1, Section2=Dungeon2, Section3=Dungeon3, etc.) for the SNES via a download service.

    No, you can't rip Gameboy games with the Satellaview. The cartridge (blurred for reasons I don't understand) holds a cart with flash RAM to store satellite-downloaded games on. The little tab at the top is one of the flash cards.
