>>720332194perfect this:*farts*
>>720332194You have zero excuses. Go play Sega Saturn.
>>720332194I love my MiSTer!
>>720332287>>720332284>>720332246>>720332194Why did the MiSTer shit and flop?
>>720332194MiSTer is cool, but I can't run shaderglass over it. Not buying a retrotink 4k for a gazillion dollars.
I already have a saturn with an ODE in it that I don't play, why should I care about this?
>>720332456>Not buying a retrotink 4k for a gazillion dollars.It's unironically worth every penny though
How do I get one of these? I tried looking online once and it looked like they just sent you the chip and you had to build your own case and other shit?
>>720332284I will segata-san, please don't use your karate on me
>>720332287unironically bought mine last week, but I live in yurop so I don't know how long it's going to take to arrive
>>720332990Don't. It's a useless piece of shit.
>>720332990there are places that sell you a fully assembled box you just plug into your TV, but I won't say where so I don't get called a shillyou should be able to find out with a little research
>>720332990SuperStation One is like $225 or 250 or something. Idk if they ran out yet or not.Or you can buy the chink clone board for cheaper, but I don't know about the quality on those. I got mine from MiSTer addons a few years back for like $500
>>720333324I thought it was good for arcade accurate emulation for shmups and whatnot
>>720332194100% accurate is not enough, I want it BETTER than the original hardware. Does it render in high resolution - not only 3D, but the VDP2 planes? Once you experience that, you can't go back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7OhDDLgeVM
>>720334503fuck off with this soulless garbage>indian voiceoverpottery
big if true
>>720334550>announcing
redpill me on the mister
Whoa now I can pay $600 to play five games!
For the phone right?
>>720332194Passing some random tests does not make it "100% perfect".
>>720342401It's 100% passed every Saturn accuracy test in existence you stupid fuck. Die software emu tranny
>>720342471not that retard but it no matter how many tests you do it's impossible to be 100% accurate unless you use the original hardware in perfect condition, so it's more like 99.9% accuratea billion times better than the absolute state of saturn emulation on pc though
>>720332194Wait but I have to pay for it? Fuck that
>>720332194that's cool but i already have a saturn. princess crown sucks dick
Is there any reason to play the saturn if I have ps1 and dreamcast already? Any multiplats better on saturn?
>>720345023you're not really playing a saturn for multiplats, though grandia on the saturn is better than the playstation version. other than that however, you really should be looking to play the exclusives or it's not really worth your time
>>720332194>FPGA>still no saturn emulator on the level of duckstationkeep me posted i guess
>>720344867can i have it
>>720332284this is a great webm, and actually inspired me to flip on my saturn and load saroo with some of these.
>>720332194>steal software emulator research and hard work>claim credit for it to fleece retards>it ends up being a lie anyway as there are still edge cases with built in hacks to cope with the bad emulationretrogoys are the dumbest faggots around
>>720345392...you know what, if you actually want it, i honestly wouldn't mind parting with it since i can just use my mister
>>720332284pricess crown have a translation patch?
>>720332284Man I wish Sonic Jam was a full on 3D adventure, love that early 3D look, SA still had that early 3D, but less block than Jam's. Also, great webm, brings back memories.
>>720332284remind me to get back to watching Uncle from Another World too while I'm at it
>>720345340Duckstation has numerous compatibility issues with retail games.MiSTer Saturn core is 100% perfectly accurate to original hardware even with the most intensive accuracy tests.
>>720345541where've you been? it triggered a bunch of drama because some guy suddenly started a making translation patch using an old open source version of these faggots who have "claimed" the game for 10 years with absolutely nothing to show for it, they got giga pissed off and the guy finished his translation in less than a year while those retards finally released a trailer because they had no choice, and now they're back to radio silence, they'll probably just drop it entirely after spending all this time doing nothing for clout.https://github.com/eadmaster/pcrown
>>720345103Thanks anon. Ill check them out
>>720345442retroarch is shit but this thread has nothing to do with it anon u baka
>>720332194>mister>perfectlol
>>720333465No. It's no more accurate than free emulators.And its arcade core is still WIP and barely emulates shit.
>>720343021>a billion times better than the absolute state of saturn emulation on pc thoughWhat are you talking about? I've been emulating saturn on PC non stop since about 2008.SSF back in the day was great, and these days i use mednafen through a CRT. Saturn emulation has been excellent for years.
>>720345023There are hundreds of exclusives on saturn.>>720345340SSF and Mednafen.Are you living in 1998 or something.
>>720346109I use Mednafen you moron. It fucking sucks. That's not DuckStation level at all.
>>720346268>It fucking sucksno it doesn't you amerimutt
>>720332194with or without dual ram thoughi have the multisystem daughterboard so i can't do dual ram setup
>>720345762thanks, i've knew about this game years ago when i was playing muaramasa but not translation on that moment, even i forgot that game exists but back in time i wanted to play this game so hard
>>720346031You're like the people say zsnes were perfect and we didn't need anything better than that >"hey, it (kinda) works most of the time for me!"your childhood emulators were all complete dogshitnesticleznes was shitproject64 was shit epsxe was shitssf was super shit>"b-but I remember emulating my childhood games on these on my laptop in 2009 and I didn't notice anything wrong! they're peak SOVL!"I get that for normies who want to just play the one most recognizable game in the system and have it mostly function these are all great, but for everyone else they are garbage
>>720346748zsnes netplay was incredibly good for connecting internationallyyou'd have to sync once in a while if a critical packet got dropped but it was amazing to smoothly play sd3 with a friend on a different continent
>>720346419Only like 1% of the MiSTer userbase has a dual RAM setup. This is with the single RAM core.
>>720332284Best obscure JRPG ?
>>720332194>hardware emulationi sleep
>>720332284>no Clockwork Knightlist made by a fake Saturn fan
>>720332194>ClaimedThat's a big TRUST ME BRO if I ever saw one.
Too bad nowhere to get roms for it anymore...
>>720332284Most of those aren't very good or are better played elsewhere, honestly.
>>720332194Software emulators are good enougish to run the saturn games, being a bit of a mess you have to try a few to find the one that runs that particular game.The only reason why you want a 100% precise saturn emulator is to develop new saturn game.Do you want to develop for the sega saturn?We know a place for people that actually like to develop for the saturn, and jaguar too
>>720351521I knew a Saturnhead growing up who swore by Guardian Heroes and Bomberman.
>>720332284>No GungriffonWhat the fuck
>>720351686Guardian Heroes is good, though I'm not that fond of the RPG mechanics. I'm not saying the Saturn doesn't have any good games. I'm just saying a huge chunk of that graphic is arcade ports, and not even the biggest Segafag should be pretending Deep Fear or Shinobi Legions is very good. (Shinobi is one of my favorite series -- Legions isn't great). For fuck's sake Sonic Jam is just a port of the Genesis games and the 3D level is a glorified menu; why the fuck is that the chosen footage? That shitty collage always gets posted and it makes me wonder if anyone has ever taken the time to actually look at it.Nothing is wrong with ports but unless you're a collector of the physical games (fair) or are somehow still trapped in 1998 it's not a major advantage of the Saturn.
>>720352475Yeah, I never saw much point to the Saturn, much to his chagrin. It's like emulating neo geo today.
>>720332194>What has historically been one of the absolute hardest platforms to emulateyet I had zero issues emulating games back in 2006 on my shitty pcstfu
>>720332194Those hardware accuracy tests are largely bullshit according to the guy who made the best Genesis emulator ever. He had to make his own tests because others were unreliable. The proof is running Titan Overdrive 2.
Now you gay niggers have no excuse play Panzer Deagoon Saga
>>720334503I don't understand retards who insist on putting 5th gen games in native high-res rendering. It just highlights all the flaws of the games, making them look cheaper than they were.
we got any good saturn games to use this accurate emulation on?
Who the FUCK plays Sega Saturn? Only Sega consoles I've ever seen anyone bother with is Genesis and to a far lesser extent Dreamcast.Are you insane?
>>720357971No, just autistic. The Saturn doesn't have a proper Sonic game so the weird Sonic fags don't shit up the discussion. Best Sega console in that regard. It also has the best version of Megaman X4.
But its soulless without the 6 buttons on the front side of the controller
>>720332284boomers be like >yooooooo this platformer fire but no cap this fighting game SLAPS
>>720358598>It also has the best version of shit nobody cares about Insane.
>>720332194Saturn has 0 games
>>720358598By what metric, sound effects playing on wrong pitch?
>>720332194I didn't read the thread but name 5 Saturn games worth emulating or I'm just not going to care and there's nothing you can do that will change my mind.
>>720358598>It also has the best version of Megaman X4.if you weren't a poser you'd say megaman 8, x4 on psx and saturn are almost identical
>>720357971The Game Gear is also pretty underrated. There are some real gems on the Game Gear. I'd take the Game Gear's library over the Saturn's, probably.
>>720358805>Game gearGood thing I have a Superboy so I don't care about the Gay Gear.
>>720351878>GunGriffon 2 + twin sticksSimply the bestAlso High MACS
>>720358805Lunacy, GG is so crap.
Ever notice how the retro scene is more concerned with hardware, crt filters, and collecting than playing games? Like functionally this means you can play Radiant Silvergun with 1 frame less of input lag... for $450. Under perfect conditions. Theoretically.
>>720345682nigga they spent two whole ass chapters shilling nintendo ds while dreamcast got only TWO pages. Author is a faker, now that he got sega fanbase in his grip he doesn't need to pretend to like sega
>>720358861Nothing theoretical about it, and yeah, it's great.
check out dis mister. I buildded it myself because I didn't want a shitty little gay brick
>>720358861Radiant Silvergun has been ported a bunch of times anyway.
>>720332194Damn, and I just bought and modded a real Saturn. Oh well.
>>720358861>Did you know that ummm.... the retro game market is an overpriced grift kept alive by collectniggers!?WOOOOOOW, LOOK AT THE QUANTUM LEVEL IQ ON THIS TRANIME POSTER!!! EVERYBODY CLAP!!!!
>>720332284NiGHTS, Die Hard Arcade, and Burning Rangers are the ones I want to play the most.
>>720332284oh fuck i've always wanted to try that magic knight rayearth game
>>720332284>dodonpachi>atlusyeah I'm gonna go say 5pb made dodonpachi too
>>720332990You subscribe to the RetroRemake newsletter and buy MisterPi or Superstation One the second they become available. Wa la.
>>720352475Radiant SilvergunCotton 2/BoomerangElevator action returnsBattle Garegga (too hard for me) Layer SectionPanzer DragoonGrandiaEtc etc
>>720358926Fucking sweet, anon. Reminds me of those really old computers.
>>720358859Nah. The Illusion series and Shinobi games alone elevate it above crap.
>>720359028I'm not sure why you replied to my post.
>>720358926>shitty little gay brickNice build but
>>720359175I'm not surprised
>>720359213Your post just reaffirms the point I made.
>>720358938Yeah the ports run at 1 frame of additional input lag. But software emulation has come a long way and is generally comparable. (And will eventually far exceed it, although the overall issues are more nuanced than just input lag) The problem here is that it's cheaper to buy a Sega Saturn. And a Sega Saturn can play burned cds like the Playstation could.And another issue is that these retro types typcially only play casual games anyways.
Can you play shining force 3 with the save carrying on from game to game like the original?
>>720333463superstation one hasn't shipped the first batch yet. supposedly shipping before the end of the year.he's taking pre-orders for the third batch to be delivered next year.same guy sells pre-assembled regular misters, too.
>>720359028>Battle GareggaNot a Saturn game and already has a superior M2 port which runs better than the Saturn port.
>>720359339Keep going lad
>>720332284Princess Crown looks like less advanced version of Odin's Sphere
>>720359346>another issue is that these retro types typcially only play casual gamesWhat?
>>720332284>ddp on SaturnNo.
>>720359479If you are just "playing" rpgs and rail shooters and shit there's no reason to worry about 1 frame of input delay. You just threw $450 away to play a shit movie "authentically".
>>720359382You can play all the games I listed on pc via emulation these days, so what?
>>720359456>first game from the studio looks like earlier version of later games from the same studiowhat an astute observation, anon.
>>720359527Sounds like it isn't a good fit for you either
>>720359542Why are you posting a poseur images with bad ports of games on it? You don't know anything about any of these games. It's an entirely superficial interest.
>>720359542Did you even read the post you originally replied to?
>>720334503I will try it out. Boomers can keep crying and pay $700 for their shitty devices that will look worse than emulation on PC
>>720332284sonic R on the saturn fucking sucks.just play it on the dreamcast instead.
>>720358861anyone who cared bought xbox 360 version ages ago. Mork brainroted you people with those frames discussions, unless you play on switch it's non issue
>>720359604wait, it has a dreamcast port?
>>720359619>muh e-celebWe're talking about justifying a $450 meme device. Dude posts about this thing every day and doesn't even play any games on it. It's typical retro poseur behavior.
>>720359346You're not running burned CDs on a Saturn, you're spending another $200 on ODE. Never mind the sheer retardation of comparing a single system to FPGA.
>>720359740>You're not running burned CDs on a Saturnhttps://youtu.be/z6WZuwJjjow
>>720359931I know it can be done, just as I know you're not doing that.
>>720359959>I know it can be doneAnd yet you still lied like a disengenous faggot. Go back to larping on /vr/
YOOOOO, THAT'S INSANE!Now if only the Saturn had any games worth playing...
>>720355712On the contrary, often you find that the models actually had more details than what you could see on their super-blocky original resolution.
i bought a raspberry pi 5planning on soldering a composite port on it
>>720359993What lie? I know you're not doing that. You know you're not doing that. Everyone ITT knows you're not doing that.1. You post literal tranime, giveaway of very low intelligence.2. Saturnfag, also low intelligence behavior.3. Self-admitted /vr/ poster. Again, dullard.4. You make a huge deal out of buying real hardware when there are no advantages, meaning that little remark about casual games and collectorfaggotry was a self-report. You won't just get the console and live with its aging, failing laser, you'll rice it out to fill the void and never touch it as it collects dust as a display piece. The closest you'll ever be to a real Saturn owner at the time.
I can just buy a saturn, no thanks
>>720360027Just play a complete shining force 3 run. Add shining the holy ark and shining wisdom if you want the full lore too.
>>720332284Is Street Fighter Alpha 3 better on Saturn or Dreamcast?
>>720360528Why would I play the games on Saturn when M2 ports exist?>whoa amazing news guys, mister can emulate Saturn now>actually Saturn is for people with a low IQ anyways hahaMy Uncle was a "Sega guy" and bought ever Sega console, and you better believe we played burned cds on it. The Saturn and dreamcast were my first major exposures to arcade games, in fact. Got about 400 hours in mvc2 on fightcade thanks to that.
>>720332284out of those, dodonpachi and especially radiant silvergun are the ones i give a shit about. the rail shooters like virtua cop and panzer dragoon 1-2 are interesting, but without a light gun virtua cop will be shit and i don't remember if panzer dragoons even supported one. panzer dragoon is pretty fun
>>720360909DDP on Saturn is kinda bad
>>720360760I see uncle raped you in more ways than one.>actually Saturn is for people with a low IQ anyways hahaYeah, you're so dense you still think you're talking to OP. Completely socially dead.
>>720360937haven't played it on saturn so i will take your word for it. silvergun was fun though
We've had perfect saturn emulation for years in Retroarch with the Beetle - Saturn core.Why are zoomers so retarded?
I don't know shit about Saturn emulation, but I'm interested in giving it a shot, which emulator is the best one ? SFF or Mednafen ? Saw some people praising both and some saying one is better than the other
>>720361458Pretty sure beetle and mednafen are identical
>>720332194How do I play them at 4k on my MiSTer?
>>720332194You have no reason now to not play the Sega Saturn. Play to your heart's content.
>>720357971The only people who say this are the ones that haven''t played it.
>>720360760This is the setup of a white programmer about to troon out
>>720362943I only ever played one at store kiosks, but I used to be part of a Sega think on Facebook. Weirdos would be like "this Saturn version of the game has graphical glitches and slowdown compared to the PSX version, but I think it makes it better."
>>720363314*thing
>>720363314Trust me, play some Saturn games and make your own opinion. Don't let others influence you on missing out on some good games.
>>720363381>play games you have no interest in>go ahead>play that shovelware and decide for yourselfThe library is trash. Any good games are playable on better systems. That was the point of my previous post. Saturn weirdos look at the inferior versions of games and trick themselves into thinking that jank is SOVL (like /v/enezuelans).
>>720363548Then play the exclusives dumb dumb>>720332284
>>720332194Too bad it doesn't fix the shit audio quality from games like Story of Thor 2.
>>720363645The only exclusives in that collage are garbage. Any multiplats or arcade ports are better played elsewhere.
>>720358712epic
>>720332287Cool TV.
>>720332284Most of these are multiplat or got ports
>>720332284Don't play Dodonpachi on Saturn. Play it on MAME please. If you want near-perfect shmup ports on Saturn, the Parodius games and Battle Garegga are right there.
>>720358861Too bad in every thread you see people also post things like>have finished this gameor>currently playing [game]Retro game market is also FUCKED in the west
>>720363314saturn games had cleaner, higher resolution graphics with much less jumpy polygon precision. sometimes screen effects ported from other consoles especially 2d games, caused odd artifacts but it wasn't the console's fault. also, it tended to have much higher framerates than the psx, but it was very inconsistent.
>>720363548>anon gives the most basic inoffensive "Don't let people tell you what to think, play for yourself and form your own opinion, friend! :)" post>IT'S FUCKING TRASH>FUCKING SHITTY PORTS >YOU WEIRDOS">FUCKING VENEZUELANSyou are an actual sperg
>>720365225Lot of profanity for someone who's supposedly not South American.
I remember debating with my mom, whichever console was better, saturn, ps or n64 in order to ask one for birthday...She went on like this shit even mattered to her. "wow son, I don't know these graphics look better etc but you have to decide for yourself, talk with your father too, he might help you decide too but I think that this is better etc"Soul af times. I picked ps though, at the time I thought I was right.
>>720365412Absolutely nobody in this thread brought up South Americans before you didAt best you are a deranged schizo and need to take your meds, at worst you're a faggot trying to derail discussion with your personal boogeyman
>>720365569So much anger. It's okay, Paolo. You don't have to be mad that I'm not buying a MiSTer.
Since this is a Saturn thread, I might as well ask this:I'm trying to remember a Saturn game I played with my neighbor (basically the only person I knew that owned a Saturn). It was a 2-person side scroller that featured two playable robots. Does anyone know what game I'm talking about?
>>720365452I remember my mom walking into my room with a concerned look and giving me the talk>"Son, your father and I are worried... aren't you a little too old to still be playing videogames?"I was fucking TEN

>>720365951lmao, dicks.
>>720332456> shaders> He thinks a shitty overlay will make it so that LCD pixels bleed> Can't afford a second hand CRT> But still pretends to be a big manThe absolute state of sloptards.
>>720332194Actually good news theres alot of games Ive wanted to trt on the saturn. Anyone ever play shining force 3 in its entirety? How does to co.pare to the first 2
>>720366339I had a pretty good CRT from back in the day but it died. I'd rather just use shaders now cause they're good enough and only getting better.
>>720359367It comes with games pro loaded on it? I’m too technologically illiterate to do it myself…
i wanna get the mister but man it's hella pricey. if you can make it fit inside a handheld then we'd be cooking. like a diy handheld project using it.
>>720332284Really cool webm. Are there more vids like this for other systems? Preferably ones that showcase lesser known titles.
>>720366593anon-kun...
