![]() Here are some videos I've recorded using Mesen.Somers holds a baby box turtle, which could live to be 100 years old. So huge thanks to both of them - I wouldn't have gotten anywhere on my own without their research (despite what you might expect, I'm actually pretty horrible at reading 6502 assembly!) From what I can tell, the games appear to be working properly, and the audio properly syncs up to the content on the screen.Ī lot of the initial research and reverse engineering work was done by Zorchenhimer and abridgewater, who got interested in the StudyBox early in 2019 after I happened to mention it at some point in a conversation on Discord. Thanks to a Japanese user of Mesen who has been purchasing tapes for the StudyBox for many years, I've managed to convert 30+ tapes of them to the. While the Famicom is loading data off the tape, the audio track is audible and usually contains character speech or background music.įor the past 30+ years, the data on the tapes has (to my knowledge) never been decoded, and proper emulation of the StudyBox hardware was not possible (FCEUX and Mesen both loaded up the StudyBox "rom", but neither could do anything useful with it.) As of a couple of days ago, Mesen now emulates the hardware well enough to be able to play the games and supports a new file format (.studybox files) that we've come up with which contains both the decoded tape data as well as the voice/music track. At least 50 or so tapes were produced for this device (I do not know the exact number, and I don't know if a list of all tapes produced exists, either.) The majority of the tapes are aimed at school children and are educational in nature (e.g English, Math or Science lessons with very little user interaction in most cases), but there are also a few rarer tapes that were produced that could be called actual games. The stereo tapes contain music/speech in the left channel, and data in the right channel. Released in 1986 or so, the StudyBox is a hardware add-on similar to the Famicom Disk System (FDS), but instead of using floppy disks, it used audio tapes to store both data and audio.
