First time I ever seen the pics of the actual prototype! I really hope he finds the power supply, I would really like to see the splash screens during boot up!

If i remember right, didn't that have to do with some sort of expansion plug in for Japan only? Where you saw games like Super Ninja-Kun (if i remember right). And like all the PD games you see like the "BS Zelda" (didn't try to be funny, it's actually a game title lmao)

It probably would have worked better if the satellites was in a stationary orbit over Japan rather then a Geo-synchronous orbit around the earth.
