GutBomb posted:that whole era is "the hardware wasn't ready for 3D yet but gently caress it let's do it anyway and make everything look like poo poo" This is exactly how I feel about that console generation as well. Makes finding the 2D gems among the turds a bit more challenging. Some of the 2.5D stuff is ok, though. I will say that a lot of the Saturn arcade ports have long been superseded by MAME. There are some exceptions: Blast Wind - Technosoft vert shmup, arcade version was cancelled so this is the only way to play it Cotton 2 - has 6 (!) frames of input lag in MAME and is unplayable there Cotton Boomerang - see Cotton 2 Radiant Silvergun - Saturn mode Game Tengoku - Saturn mode Thunderforce V - not an arcade port, but better than on PS1 so the definitive version here Hm, all shmups. Oh well, that's all I know about, really. Did Saturn Street Fighter Alpha 3 have the world tour mode? That would make it worth it over the arcade version.

GutBomb posted:Any reason not to get a japanese Saturn (other than waiting for it to arrive) since I''ll be using a pseudo saturn? Nope, get whatever one you want, but I would avoid this model:  The US one has the same oval buttons but is all black. I think they have reliability issues or something? Don't remember why but I remember people always recommend a round button Saturn e: Ofecks posted:This is exactly how I feel about that console generation as well. Makes finding the 2D gems among the turds a bit more challenging. Some of the 2.5D stuff is ok, though. In the case of games that were originally on the ST-V, I don't see a reason why you would play them in MAME rather than a Saturn, ever, unless you're practicing with savestates. It's the difference between real hardware and emulation, like saying KOF 98 is better on MAME than the Neo-Geo AES, makes no sense. For other stuff that was just ported to Saturn from other arcade hardware, yeah I agree in a lot of cases MAME has made those games pointless (yet for some reason many of these "just ok" ports go for crazy money). d0s fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Nov 1, 2017 |

the giant folder of game screenshots might just be the MAME extras folder where there's a screenshot of every emulated arcade game, of course including lots of mahjong porno e: and it probably just came from some bootleg "10,000 IN ONE GAME CD" from some market stall in sandistan

As entertaining as the idea may be, the more likely explanation is that it was one of the kids in the household watching anime and playing games.

Shadow Hog posted:Well, some games base their displayed language based on the region of the console (I have an NTSC-U copy of Die Hard Arcade, but the "PUNCH"/"KICK"/"BLOCK" QTE prompts come up in katakana if I play it on my white NTSC-J Saturn instead of my black NTSC-U one), so there's that. Also, this one's highly subjective, I prefer the more muted NTSC-U/PAL boot-up jingle to the harsher horn chords/choir from the NTSC-J console, though I'd be lying if I said either one was bad. This is incredibly wrong, wow. Also the other reason is that the actual menu noises on the US saturn are horrible high pitched squeaking, instead of regular noises like the Japanese bios has.

Laslow posted:I got the oval model 2. The difference for me is the timing for the swap trick is harder. It's not impossible, but annoying. Easier to quote you because  Model 1 were normally avoided in the past because the only modchip that really existed didn't support the cdrom controller chip on them without heavy modification (32 vs 64 pin although some model 2 have 64 pin controllers) - http://www.racketboy.com/saturn-modchip/model-1-install.htm There's a universal chip that was designed since the original has all but died and works on both so it's pretty much not important so long as you can find a universal chip.

Just get the Saturn you think looks the coolest and makes your soul the happiest. Or get all of them and play whichever suits your mood. Have a scart switch dedicated solely to Saturn variants.

Finally got my OSSC hooked up and working. Tried it with SNES, Genesis, and PS2. All work great. Haven't had a chance to mess with the options because it's too much of a pain to try and do that with an IR remote app. 32X Isn't working but as I recall this one had issue before and probably needs to be cleaned again.

I been using 5X mode on my LG 65 (model 65UH7700) and works perfectly. Noticed it had a screen tear 2/3 vertically on the default setting, but after changing it to be 1920 x 1200 instead of 1080 that was gone. Oddly the only mode that doesn't work for me is line 3X. 4X works as well but it kinda redundant with 5X.

Elliotw2 posted:This is incredibly wrong, wow. Also the other reason is that the actual menu noises on the US saturn are horrible high pitched squeaking, instead of regular noises like the Japanese bios has.  But really, silly childish responses aside, there's literally nothing factually wrong with the statement I made vis-à-vis Die Hard Arcade - that really was giving me katakana prompts when I used it on my white Saturn, despite being the US version of the game. The other sentence in my post was explicitly noted to be subjective so I'm not gonna get in an argument over it, because that's stupid. I will get in an argument, however, about the assertion you made afterward about the western menu noises being worse than the Japanese ones, on the grounds that they're nigh identical. The only difference I can think of is that the "CD is not suitable for this system" noise, which is some chimes in the Western BIOS but a little jingle in the Japanese one.

My dad is an electrician (now low and commercial voltage, but was board-level PCB repair electrician and A/V calibration for like 30 years) and he never played one video game. We were poor as balls, but he was allowed to buy customer-abandonment projects for cost +10% of the repair if they didn't pay, and of course had access to tons of old A/V equipment through his sources. In fact, he's an identical twin, and his brother/my uncle both worked in the same electronics repair shop. My dad focused on audio equipment, while my uncle focused on video. So, while he made minimum wage and we were poor as poo poo, we also had a TV in every room, and shelves full of Marantz equipment and Polk Audio or PSB speakers. We even had two of those oscilloscope-meter quad-channel Marantz receivers (we used one to pay the family lawyer for adoption papers when I was 17, long story). The other one was stolen by methheads. While my dad was an audio guy, he recognized video quality. So, while my uncle upgraded over the years to large rear-projection TVs with multiple PiP screens and multi-audio-out channels (always a few years old and usually with issues, though - it was minimum wage after all), my dad continued to fill the house with semi-flat Trinitrons and PVMs (which I thought were just weird speakerless TVs when I was a kid). I was always so annoyed at having to turn on whatever Onkyo or Sony receiver to hear sound when playing Nintendo. I remember him futzing, looking up something weird called "schematics" and "pinouts" through pre-Internet catalogs, and making a strange cable for my SNES that made Super Mario World look so much better as a Christmas gift. It had a weird connector that was boxy and had like a hundred gajillion pins inside, that none of my friends had! Thank you, dad

Yeah, that's the bit I'm specifically referring to, since you don't have much reason to go into the Saturn's regular BIOS unless your AR or CD is being lovely. The Die Hard Arcade thing is an oddity considering the system's normally region locked anyway.
