Hey guys, what's the frequency that the BS-X Satellaview listens in on to receive software?
I'm asking for a friend.

BS-X Satellaview Broadcast Frequency?
I have an ASD, so empathy is not natural for me. If I hurt you, I apologise.
Re: BS-X Satellaview Broadcast Frequency?
The Satellaview doesn't listen on satellite broadcast frequencies at all. It only reads the bitstream output from an external satellite receiver, which you had to purchase separately.
Theoretically, that bitstream can be generated by anything, which there has been some experimentation with somewhat recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kdymgz5dT4

Oh cool. Hopefully, we eventually get to the point where we won't need to buy anything expensive just to broadcast SNES homebrew to our Satellaview.Revenant wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 9:28 pm The Satellaview doesn't listen on satellite broadcast frequencies at all.

If not, well, you should all know what the BS in BS-X really stands for.

Re: BS-X Satellaview Broadcast Frequency?
Speaking of the BS-X, do you know if it's supposed to work without the 8M mini cartridge? I know it should work without the Satellaview, but I only get a black screen on the BS-X and I have no 8M cartridge yet. It looks like it should work in this video.
Re: BS-X Satellaview Broadcast Frequency?
Yeah, it should boot up fine without a memory pack inserted, you'll just get an error screen if you actually attempt to load up a game.

Thank you, hopefully it's just dirty pins then.
