i have a simple question about running a satellaview. the problem, i have one but it is just the nude device w/o any further equipment (no ac bridge, no cart no nothing). is there any chance of letting that nice piece of junk run? i do not know if there are still data saved in it. what do i need in minimum to give it a cool run? any helps are highly appreciated.
I don't have one so I'm not sure, but I think you can't run the Satellaview anymore (since the service is down). You can only play BS-X games saved to your memory card, which probably doesn't even require you to have the Satellaview hooked up. It's basically just a cool looking piece of plastic for under your Superfamicom as far as I'm aware.
To play games which are on your Satellaview BS cart, you do not need a Satellaview. To play games which are stored in the Satellaview memory, you obviously need one. But not all games are playable the latter way... :-(
Sorry when i misunderstand,,, The function was to load data from satellite within an short time window. Charged data was safed first time on the Satellaview? After that you can safe it one time on an flash cart? Then the data was delete from the satella? I like to know more about the transfer process.
I m under the impression that you had to buy a cart seperately, else you'd be entitled to use the limited space within the Sattelaview for games that fit?
thx for the answers. so there is a possibility, that still some game data could be in the storage of the SV itself? and if i can power the unit attached to a SFC, those data probably can be used, resp. played? i have no such BS-X card handy.
Hi Tatsujin, I think you need the L-shaped bracket. It supplied power to the Satellaview via the Super Famicom. No Power - No Satellaview :-(
I highly doubt that if there is anything, you'd be able to access. It was more for the modem and the cart the adapter and the memory pack is where the data was stored.
Everything I have even seen about the SV says that the bottom attachment contains nothing of interest as it won't save anything. The only things that save data are the cartridge that goes into the SNES cart port as it might save some settings and the rest is on those smaller paks that plug into it as they are flash or eeprom of some kind I think. Those contain the downloadable BS-X games.
The unit is just a modem. I went ahead and hooked up my own just to be sure with all the correct wires. I turned on my SFC + Satellaview without a cartridge and there was no signal. I inserted a game cartridge and it loaded up like a regular SFC game. So just the modem alone doesn't do anything, and I've never heard of it being used as storage before.
