@bbayles posts on Ejihon Detective Agency made me curious to peek at the game files for the Game-Ware Vol. 1-5, and I managed to make self-bootable versions of most of the included mini-games.
This is a patch for Game-Ware Vol. 1 that makes it boot straight into a window washing minigame for 1 or 2 players we'll call Gondola. (Can't read title screen but menus are in English). (Can anyone tell me what the Japanese title screen says?)
(Note: While Gondola is included on Game-Ware Vol. 4 I could not rebuild the image for Vol. 4 without errors, so this patch targets the Vol.1 disc image instead.)
This patch simply replaces 0STARTUP.PRG with GONDOLA.PRG from Game-Ware Vol. 4, and patches the directory GONDOLA from Vol. 4 to the disc as well. This allows you to skip past the Game-Ware ads and begin playing Gondola immediately.
Apply the patch with Sega Saturn Patcher:
