" Satellite view " which appeared in 1995 as a dedicated peripheral device of Super Nintendo was a creative game machine which can communicate data with the satellite using the BS analog broadcast wave and deliver the game from the sky.

Prior to the spread of the Internet, it was a satellite view adopted a breakthrough system "to deliver content such as games from satellites", but so many people are setting up an environment that can receive BS analog broadcasting It did not hit as thought for various reasons such as not being. Nintendo has finished content delivery of Satellite view in 2000, and has become one of Nintendo's black history.

Slack's engineer Bertrand Hwang recently learned of the existence of Satella View, an interesting game peripheral that delivers content on the BS to the Japanese market in the 1990s. At the same time as knowing the structure of Satella View, he seems to have thought that "If you can send satellite signals to Super Nintendo, you can use Slack?"

Mr. Hwan himself is also a Mac user and decided to use " bsnes-plus " as an emulator supporting Satellite view. Since binary for OS X could not be found, bsnes-plus seems to have compiled by oneself.

Next, using the DRM version of the English version of the game cartridge "BS-X - It's a stolen city story -" for the satellite view, use the " 8 BitDo Mod Kit " to copy the original Super Nintendo Entertainment Controller with Mac and Bluetooth I connected.

Hwang generated the Satellaview Broadcast binary file using the tool " SatellaWave ".

Fan has noticed an item list to be sold at stores in the game. By improving this list, we thought that if you assign time and sender to "Name" and a message to "Usage Text", you can use it like a mailer that receives Slack messages.

And by utilizing the function to save the current setting in SatellaWave as an XML file, by automating the process of checking the channel history and extracting the latest message by combining Slack's API and bot, when receiving the Slack message, The system has been changed to a mechanism for updating the items of "I received a Slack message in a satellite view" was successful in the arrogance.

You can check the situation of receiving real-time messages in Satellite view in the following movie.
