By announcements/events/news/convos, are you referring to static media or footage?

"Best way possible", generally. In this specific case I'd assume that'd be the actual ROM data of that stuff, but I don't know how likely that is, and I like seeing video media as well, so... anyway, it's certainly not that likely to find that stuff for the Japanese XBand, unless the community has found any JP XBand veterans joining in on the preservation projects. That's why I was pretty excited to find the Puyo Puyo one. Do we even know what other import games were compatible? (EDIT: according to http://www.gamespot....&union_id=12112 we should probably also take a look into getting Super Fire Pro Wrestling footage.)

Pach: XBand Modems can be bought on eBay, btw. A simple search got me these results;

http://cgi.ebay.com/...p3286.m20.l1116

http://cgi.ebay.com/...p3286.m20.l1116

http://cgi.ebay.com/...p3286.m20.l1116

Of course, in any instance, if you're planning to hack these up, back-up the SRAM first.

I got a Super Famicom ready if anyone wants to just lend me that SFC Xband right there.

... it'd be lols if it could be hacked to be compatible with my Satellaview. Not bloody likely, though.

I am not paying a dime over $20 for one of those.

Auction that's well under 20 bucks at this point. Anyone wanna give me a job sniping it for them?

[Phugolz]

kiddo, do you plan on bidding on it? If so lemme know and I won't try to snipe it

I was thinking about it, but if you're sniping it anyway, then I won't butt in. It was gonna be a volunteering anyway.

[Phugolz]

ok kiddo i scored it. At the moment I have no dumping setup, but I'm going to get a snega once they get that going.

[KiddoCabbusses]

Did you check to see if there's any SRAM data in there already? I recall one notable project was an attempt to gather cartridges up and dump their SRAM because they had data like game patches/news archives/top player charts/conversation logs.

I want to try something like that at one point for Satellaview BS-X carts, since it seems their SRAM potentially has some interesting data as well.

I just won it, why don't we wait until I actually have it

Well, there was always the not-too-likely scenario of next-day shipping.

This is Ebay we're talking about.

You'd be surprised. The last thing I bought off eBay was next-day shipped...

You must have gotten the "not-too likely scenario of next day shipping" then, took two weeks for my Equalizer to arrive.

I had heard that they intercepted the code from the game and modified it to work quite well over the phone lines. I have also read games like Mk3 and KI played quite nicely and didn't slow down much.

Let me try to dig up that link....

X-Band SNES Central

There you go, lots of info...

what is this "Zelda" game they speak of? Was it an reorganization of levels?

Here's the lame maze game from Xband in case you were still wondering

Xband Maze Game Video

Says something about "Up, up, down" on the Xband title screen. "You'll be a-MAZE-d." I take this is for the maze game, however the video posted above has the code "Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, B".

Also lol: UNDER $70. ONLY $7.95 A MONTH.

The Up Up Down is probably for the Sega Genesis version. I made mine with the SNES version, hence the different code.

Ha, the message it that video about the maze code was send from "Santa Cruz, CA". That's where I live.

Also the people who made the sega genesis 8 cart demo unit for game shops also operated from here.

Ah, unregistered hypercam. The bane of my web recordings...!

The match on that seemed to be rather sloppy. Was it lag issues, or were the players both just n00bs?

Complete newbies in this matchup. I played MKII a bit and didn't notice much lag. There were known issues on MK 3 however, and people found ways to exploit them big time with projectiles and cheat their way to the top of the rankings.
