I meant "P" in the menus -_-' It looks like a joystick but I may be wrong.

There's something on a related note:

This is a savestate from the original Sega Channel rom captured using Gens/GS with the palette lock activated, and opening it up in Gsavestate and changing the pallete (It's plain black, so you must change it or else you'll see nothing) leads to well, this:

-pic-

The Sega-Pat you see on the bottom is actually two scroll layers for each frame. Also, the palette I used here is just copypasted from Sonic 1 Title Screen, and is only used here to show you that correct graphics exist in the rom.
This is proof that the intro for Sega Channel is not absent. Maybe if I'll look around the rom with HivePal I might find the correct palette.

No one fixed the final Sega Channel ROM? because I did (just the intro sequence, of course)

It doesn't work in Kega, use Regen or Gens

Odd. The intros are slightly different in Regen and Gens. In Regen, the Sega-Pat jumps onto the SEGA from top of the screen, but in Gens he shrinks into the screen, and the jingle gets cut off mid-way by the error.

It's been a while, but I think there were a few different variations of the intro that played at random when you turned it on.

Actually, the first one in the video doesn't appear at all. The second one appears in Gens, and the Regen one isn't here at all... odd.
Also for some reason I can't get either emulator to display different animations than the ones they always show. Trying to use savestates between the emulators results in crashes. Weird weird and weird.

Also ValleyBell, could you check the final Sega Channel rom for music with that magic thingy you call M1?

For reference, are we working with -both- US BIOs ROMs?

Has this brought up anything new you could discuss with us?
Feels great to see you comment on the thread, BTW.

On that note, since I already mentioned this elsewhere, I guess I'll type out the one experience with the Sega Channel I had as a child.

I believe it was the 1995 (or 1996, but the former's more likely) Doylestown Arts Festival, strangely enough. The only store remotely connected to video games there is the Cyborg One comic book shop. But there, in the middle of the street, was a white cabinet - a Sega Channel Kiosk.
I specifically remember seeing the menus in the Toejam-and-Earl style and playing "The Punisher" on the thing (with a time-reset condition similar to most Kiosks), and thinking it was the coolest thing ever, but because at the time I didn't live in Doylestown at the time (I was in Philly), I couldn't subscribe. This experience probably impacted much of how my nerddom's developed up to this point.

I've been hoping that, someday, among the ROM dumps for Sega Channel circulating recently, will come the data that was in that Kiosk, complete with the ability to play various game demos.

(Totally forgot if I brought this up before here.)

Is there a mirror of the Demo #4 ROM - LocalH's link from 2009 which was plastered all over the net at the time has since expired.

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

Teh ROM

I do believe the ROM is also intergrated into the No-Intro sets as "Sega Channel Demo (USA) (Program).md"

Jesus, that's on GoodGen level. Somebody should make an accurate ROM database for a change.

No-Intro normally has higher standards than that, honestly. I think part of the reason for the sloppy name is related to their internal confusion over whether they want to handle "network" content like Sega Channel and Satellaview.

(It also probably doesn't help that there wasn't a different demo up to this point - now... there are.)

What should it be named? (I have an ever-growing list of naming issues to bring up...)

There's a lot of left over DOS, C, and assembler trash inside both of the Sega Channel roms:

What should it be named? (I have an ever-growing list of naming issues to bring up...)

Tough question. I myself made the filename match the Cartridge "art" to the best of my ability, and wrote every detail (including the date written on the cart). Yes, the date was the same as the Demo #6 cart.

I'm kinda I kept a picture of the demo 4 cart, though - I was sloppy in saving stuff and didn't have that in a space where I'd end up reobtaining it easily. Basically, though, the cartridge description's the most accurate thing we got for it.
