@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 falling block minigame for 1 or 2 players called Pipit Boy 3.
(Note: While Pipit Boy 3 is included on Game-Ware Vol. 3 I could not rebuild the image for Vol. 3 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. 3, and patches the directory PIPIT3 from Vol. 3 to the disc as well. This allows you to skip past the Game-Ware ads and begin playing Pipit Boy 3 immediately.
Apply the patch with Sega Saturn Patcher:
