@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 weird minigame called Pipit Boy 2.
This game seems to be more of the same as Pipit Boy 1, with a new set of levels.
(Note: While Pipit Boy 2 is included on Game-Ware Vol. 2 I could not rebuild the image for Vol. 2 without errors, so this patch targets the Vol.1 disc image instead.)
This patch simply replaces 0STARTUP.PRG with PIPIT.PRG from Game-Ware Vol. 2, and patches the directory PIPIT from Vol. 2 to the disc as well. This allows you to skip past the Game-Ware ads and begin playing Pipit Boy 2 immediately.
Apply the patch with Sega Saturn Patcher:
