Sega Saturn makes me happy. I play it and the bright colorful graphics and cheery sounds make everything better.
Fuck yes.
>>746003937why is the emulator such a pain to setup tho
>>746005957Is it? I don't emulate what can be hard about it? You get the bios and configure the controller and play the game isn't that basically it?
>>746005929I should probably play this at some point
>>746006112I never successfully set it up because it was more than just that. Figured I'd just play the games on other platforms when available. I mean honestly how often am I gonna replay Bug! or Bug Too!
>>746006303Indeed you should. It's one of those games that seems overly complex at first, but once you understand it the game is quite straight forward. Also very free-form, gives it a lot of replayability.
>>746006341The idea is to play games like psychic killer taromaru, elevator action returns and bulk slash but if you're down with bug! don't let me stop you.

>>746006412by all means recommend an emulator that's easy to set up
>>746006641Mednaffe is easy to set up on Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition
>>746006805did I sound gay when I typed that or did you just assume?
games where saturn version is objectively superior to the mame version?
>>746006641retroarch
>>746003937The way Sega of America basically intentionally sabotaged this fucking thing on purpose repeatedly to the point that they basically served up 90% of its library to the PS1 on a silver platter will never not be both tragic and hilarious.
>>746006341Bug! H.I.Three - Bugchasers Edition
>>746005957>>746006341It's just downloading and selecting a bios file, don't be such a baby.
>>746009416I don't know which one he's using, but it's not that hard nowadays, yeah.It definitely used to be a PITA though. For example, SSF used to force you to mount the disc image onto a virtual disc drive to even use it.
>>746005957Ymir is pretty easy to set up.
>>746007445It was Sega of Japan that directed Sega of America to release it too early and kill it in the west.
>>746006854You're on a Saturn apologism thread, complaining about modern emulators made for redditors being hard to set up. You'd be less gay if you were on an ERP thread.
>>746005957It's not.
>>746007216Almost all arcade ports are better on saturn because:-superior audio-rebalanced gameplay-more gameplay modes/optionsModel 2 ports like Sega Rally are better played elsewhere (like the ps2 version) because the saturn ports have significantly downgraded graphics.
>>746003937I need to dig mine out and get that SD card mod thing that plugs into the VCD expansion port.I just got a new CRT and a transcoder, and i already have a saturn + RGB cable.
>>746003937You made this thread on /vr/.
>746007445You're not Asian. Stop it. You're white.
>>746011630Sorry, I meant to quote >>746007445, I'm new here.
>>746003937Same
>>746003937Should I get an ODE for mine? The laser is wearing out and I already adjusted it a few times in the past.
>>746014195Yeah. I'd say go through the compatibility lists + install method (mpeg/ram slot vs laser removal) and see which fits your use case and budget. I use a satiator and it just werks™, but they're pretty expensive.

>>746006401I bounced off it twice before it all finally clicked for me. I really like the fan translated second game too.
>>746006641OpenemuJust drag and drop bios and roms.
>>746003937My personal Sega Saturn picks:Radiant Silvergun- excellent shmup with a multi weapon system, you're give a huge toolset and then each run lets to experiement with them and optimize around what is mostly a boss rush game, excellent presentation.Panzer Dragoon Zwei- Saga is the meme pick, and while I really like Saga Zwei is the actual masterpiece of the franchise, incredibly music and atmosphere and the gameplay is very good.Baroque- Roguelike 3d dungeoncrawler, mostly relies on ambience, very little music but a lot of ambient noise, has an interesting story too, lots of body horror. Has a fan translation.Sega Rally- Not much to explain, excellent feeling racing game with an emphasis on physics and navigating over difficult terrain.Sakura Wars 1 and 2- Dating sim waifu game set in a theater troop during an alt history 1920s Japan, basically a playable 90s anime, it is nominally a turn based strategy game but frankly that aspect is only okay. Really great music and animated cutscenes.Fighters Megamix- 3d fighting game mixing virtua fighter 2 and fighting vipers, as well as a lot of other Sega IP, a lot of fun to fuck around with, lots to unlock, pretty good looking too. Groove on Fight- Atlus fighting game, has sort of snes era Shin Megami Tensei era art, kind of a less cartoony darkstalkers, less known but very good.Asuka 120%- Anime schoolgirl fighting game, still actually has a bit of a scene, most western players play on Saturn most Japanese on ps1 (completely opposite to most scenes.) Had a recent arcade expansion that is Japan onlyThere are a lot of other good games too, too many fighting games and shmups to count, lot of good jrpgs.
>I play itshame there's only one good game for itand it's a shmup
>>746018679Didn't it get ported?
