Forum Rules Board Guidelines

1 - We ask that you do not insult, ridicule or threaten other posters, old or new that they may be. Also, please, do not spam :)

2 - We ask that whenever you wish to write about later parts of a game, you apply the spoiler tags to said text. Especially if it is something about the game's story, bosses, puzzles or items. In the help forums however, it is not required to use spoiler tags for anything except the game's story. Failure to do so may result in warning, suspension or banning; depending on the number of times this happened, the severity of the violation (such as describing the game's ending) and possible maliciousness of the violator. Alternatively, you may create a topic with the words *spoilers for "game(s) name"* in its title. That will exempt everybody from using spoiler tags in that thread for spoilers about said game. However know that said thread may not be modded, unless specifically requested for a violation of these rules.

3 - Due to the high level and frequency of malicious spam bots posting in the forum, registration is required to post replies in any of our forums.

I've been wondering, would it be possible to somehow, someday, get the BS-X broadcasting satellite back online? maybe someone can hack into it, access it, and manipulate it to get it online once more...

Well, even if they didi it would be pretty pointless since that person would need the orinigal games broadcast by St. Giga to use it and it would cost a huge amout of money to create something that could send the data to it. The people using it would also need all of the hardware like the satellite dish along with other things to make it work. The satellite might not be functoning properly as well by now. Also, couldn't you only use it if you were in Japan since it wasn't positioned to aim at anything else but Japan?

Also, if there are any large spelling mistakes, please fix them. My computer won't work properly so I'm on my PS3 and don't have spellcheck.

Major impediments with trying to bring back the St. Giga Broadcasting service.

1) St. Giga itself is defunct.

2) The service is designed for Japanese satellite systems, not US.

3) Such a thing would cost millions of dollars.

4) And it would be pointless if we're unable to retrieve most of the lost Satellaview data, of which rebroadcasting would be the most likely purpose to set up such a thing.

... none of this is to say I'd just give it up, though.
