Actual Entry (non editable)
Zaitaku Touhyou System - SPAT4-Wide (c) 1996 NTT Data. Zaitaku Touhyou System - SPAT4-Wide is a specialized utility cartridge developed by NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone). The title serves as a dedicated "tele-betting" interface designed to connect the Super Famicom to a central server via an external modem. It allowed users to place bets on horse races within the Minami Kanto region (Keiba) directly from their homes, reflecting an early foray into interactive home-betting services facilitated by the Super Famicom's peripheral ecosystem. - TECHNICAL - CART ID: SHVC-TOBJ-JPN - TRIVIA - System Nature: This is a non-retail, specialized application. It functions exclusively as a communication tool for the SPAT4 (a specific horse-racing telephone betting system). It requires specific hardware (the NTT modem peripheral) to function; without it, the software is essentially inert. Identification: For many years, the software was mislabeled in databases. The correct, full title is often cited in technical documentation as Zaitaku Touhyou System - Minami Kantou Keibajou Denwa Touhyou Center (Home Betting System - South Kanto Racecourse Telephone Betting Center). Physical Media: These cartridges are physically distinct, often housed in black shells rather than the standard grey Super Famicom plastic, which was a common visual indicator for non-standard or specialized commercial/utility software of that era. Developer Context: The project highlights NTT Data's role in the mid-90s, when various Japanese corporations experimented with using the Super Famicom as a low-cost, mass-market terminal for early "online" services (predating widespread home PC adoption for such tasks). - SOURCES - ROM dump (MAME).
