Casio Loopy: The Book
David Glotz

• The Casio Loopy (Japanese: ルーピー, known as My Seal Computer SV-100, is a 32-bit home
video game console. Launched exclusively in Japan in October 1995 at a price of 25,000¥, its
marketing was specifically aimed at female gamers.
• This console is equipped with a Hitachi SH7021 SuperH 32-bit RISC CPU operating at 16MHz,
along with 1MB of RAM and 2MB of ROM. It can display graphics in 512 colors and supports 4
channels of 12-bit PCM audio.
• The Loopy features a single controller port, which can be used with a standard game controller
or a separately sold mouse.
• One standout feature of the Loopy is its built-in thermal color printer, allowing users to create
stickers from game screenshots. An optional accessory, known as Magical Shop (マジカル
ショップ, Majikaru Shoppu), serves as a video capture device to obtain images from VCRs
and DVD players. Users can add text to these images and create their own stickers. Including
the software bundled with Magical Shop, the Loopy library consists of 11 titles.
• Developer Kenji Terada was involved in creating I Want a Room in Loopy Town! (ルーピータ
ウンのおへやがほしい!.
• Software development wrapped up in November 1996, and production of the console ended
in December 1998.

• Loopy Acessories: • Controller (XN-100) -
One is included with
the main unit. Like
typical game consoles
of its time, it features
a directional pad and
round buttons for
START, A, B, C, and D
on the surface, along
with L and R trigger
buttons located on
the top side.

• Mouse (XN-110) - Available
separately or as a bundle
with compatible software.
This two-button ball mouse
matches the color of the
Loopy console and is
slightly smaller in size to
suit its target audience.
Compatible software will
indicate its use with the
Loopy Mouse on the box or
cartridge.

• Thermal ribbon
cartridge for the
console.

• Emulation
MESS supposedly emulates the Casio Loopy (including the printer), but
the official MESS website does not currently list it as supported. The
closest thing on the official site is a small list of Loopy games that need
to be abandoned.

Console Colors: The
console reportedly came in
several distinct colors, such
as gray, dark gray, bluish-
gray, and purple.

• Final Considerations: I hope you, the reader, enjoyed this brief and
intriguing Japanese adventure. This book is relatively concise,
considering it is solely about the Loopy. However, it’s worth checking
out the references and additional content that will be provided next
for a deeper understanding of this system. I am very interested in the
world of video games and their consoles, so I would appreciate it if
you could take a look at my other works, which are just as interesting
and well-illustrated, generally containing fascinating information.
Thank you all!
