/vr/ - Retro Games

Joke's on you, I've never played a Saturn in my life.

>>4039514
fuck you, my Saturn died 2 weeks ago

>>4039514

'no'

>>4039517
Start playing Sega Saturn.

>bernieposter is back
Fuck, I thought you finally an hero'd. Unless it's someone else imitating him.

Is there any good Saturn emulator?

The sticky says that all emu suck unless you have a $3000 computer.

>>4039514
ha fuck you bernie
playing via modchip

>>4039727
Mednafen.

>>4039771
>Mednafen is a very accurate emulator. However, it has no graphical interface and requires specific BIOS files to work. A quad-core Intel Haswell-microarchitecture CPU with a base frequency of >= 3.3GHz and a turbo frequency of >= 3.7GHz(e.g. Xeon E3-1226 v3) is recommended
I don't have the money, but I'll try to play at 3fps.

>>4039514
I feel bad for this guy. For decades now he's felt the unwarranted hate from delusional weebs who seriously think bringing over obscure 2D RPGs would magically save the Saturn.

>>4039848
>if you don't fellate Bernie's cut dick, you're a weeb.
It's time to stop posting, Bernie.

>>4039848
This. Saturn's failure outside Japan was mostly SoJ's fault anyways.

>>4039864
Why can't it be the fault of both SoJ and SoA? Why is it always the "evil" Sega of Japan the ones to get flack? Is it because of that book written by a journo who made up stuff and let Kalinske fellate himself on a interview saying how great businessman he is because he made Barbie sell in the 80s?

Also, is there ANY interview or article where I can read SoJ's side of the story? Everytime people discuss Sega's history is only from the SoA perspective, and of course, all the blame goes to SoJ, SoA didn't du nothin'

>>4039873
Because they launched the Saturn one year too early at a way too high price.

>>4039873
Because SoJ were spiteful cunts after SoA saved the Geneshit.

>>4039875
Yeah but we still aren't even sure if that's true. ex-SoA guys always say "the evil japanese people forced us to fuck up! we swear we didn't do nothing!".
I think both parties are to blame, SoA did a lot of retarded shit.

>>4039876
Source? Because this sounds like useless gossip. Where are the quotes from people at SoJ saying they weren't happy that their system was doing well in America?

>>4039514
No.

But where else would I play Super Robot Wars F?
The PS1 version sounds like ass.

>>4039879
Wait until the hit movie Consoles Wars comes out and all will be revealed.

>>4039878
>Yeah but we still aren't even sure if that's true.
It's pretty much a fact it was sold for $200 more than the playstation at a surprise E3 announcement, dude.

>>4039885
>Sony Pictures Presents

No thanks. Also I doubt there will be any SoJ insight in that movie.

>>4039889
>No thanks.
If you're a real retro gamer you WILL watch it.

>>4039887
I mean that it might not be true that all the blame is 100% on SoJ.
This is like reading history, you can't go with just one side, and we don't have any way to hear SoJ's side.

Not sure which company is responsible for this but they really aren't putting a lot of effort into this Sagata Sanshiro parody.

>>4039902
Probably both parties are to blame. The whole "SoJ are cruel japanese monsters that hate us americans .(" thing is ridiculous.

>>4039903
Fuck off weeb go shit on based Bernie somewhere else because we here at /vr/ will not let that garbage fly. Literally everything wrong with Sega is from Japan deal with it before I have to deal with you.

>>4039903
>>4039910

>>4039795
I got it running on a 7-year-old thinkpad. It's really not that demanding. Also, get a front-end like Mednaffe, makes the setup a lot easier.

>>4039885
>DUDE SOME STOLE THE PLANS TO THE NINTENDO 64
>AND MY WEED

>>4040018
>Paper Planes starts playing

>>4039890
Who the fuck are you to say who is a "Real" retro gamer?

>>4040039
Because I'm the boss of this board.

>>4039514
Never.

Stop playing Sega and Nintendo.

>>4039727
The sticky and this entire subforum is wrong about emulators.

>>4039727
then the sticky is wrong because SSF works well on any machine. i'm playing it on a shitty laptop and only have some lag in 3d games.

>>4040306
Maybe if you make your console more durable, my laser stopped working ages ago while my Saturn and N64 still work like the first day.

>>4040858
You can't have very high of an IQ if you compare a PS1's technological durability to that of a cartridge based console, with zero moving parts.

>>4039727
I've only had good experience with SSF. Honestly though for Saturn (like N64) you should just buy an original system and mod that nigga.

>>4040882
>Saturn
>cart based console
inb4 memory/ram cart, the games were optic disc.

>>4041332
Did you miss the part where the other anon was comparing PSX to N64 functionality?

>>4043372
Yeah but the other anon also mentioned the Saturn.
Speaking of Saturn, it's known that its cart slot is faulty and can get damaged easily (at least that's what reported from some people), so in that case, even a console without optical drive/moving parts could still get fucked if not built strong.

>tfw have 2 saturns
Git gud

>>4039517
>tfw have -2 saturns
Git gud

>>4040324
Where is a good place to learn about emulation? I'd like to get into Saturn emulation and some other systems. Nes, Snes, Gbc work fine for me. PS1 emulation is hit or miss. I heard Saturn emulation is a clusterfuck of issues.

>>4044154
>PS1 emulation is hit or miss. I heard Saturn emulation is a clusterfuck of issues.
Use Mednafen.

>>4044129
>>4044139

Only two?


>>4039873
>Why can't it be the fault of both SoJ and SoA?

Because SOJ forced the hand of SOA too much. SOA can't really sell any units if SOJ tells them to do a $399 paper launch.

>>4044154
It's a clusterfuck because you don't have a Saturn emulator for Android, and because you need a virtual CD drive software instead of loading isos directly.

Actual game emulation is fine for practically all the big games, it's only shit like Doom or NBA 98 that doesn't work right.

>>4039514
get fucked bernie I played saturn all day

>>4044154
Saturn emulation has gotten a lot better. It's perfectly playable for most people.

>>4044209
>you need a virtual CD drive software

Not with Mednafen. It reads bin/cue files directly, no mounting.

>>4040040

FUCK YOU!

>>4044207
>Because SOJ forced the hand of SOA too much. SOA can't really sell any units if SOJ tells them to do a $399 paper launch.
And the source is? Once again, SoA. I want to hear the other side. But probably we'll never know, and people will keep pushing the SoA narrative because it's the only one available.

>>4044239
but mednafen is a mess for anyone who isn't a n3rd. don't advise that to a newbie. ssf is perfectly fine

>>4044253
Who was in the wrong here?

>>4045119
>waah im too retarded to type a few commands into the big bad scary shell
grow a pair and read a manual, bitch

>>4044925
You will never hear SOJ's side of the story, partially because many of the relevant people are now dead, and partially because Japanese are honourable yamato people who would never break the trust of the people they worked with even when they were clearly wrong.

>>4045119
Mednafen is as simple as any other emulator when you add a GUI. Took me 5 minutes to configure everything and i'm literally retarded.

>>4045687
I know, that's why I'll be never able to "pick a side" on the whole debate, but I certainly don't trust SoA much, or the western journalist that compiled all those novelized interviews on his book.
The real reason Saturn didn't sell in the west wasn't because SoA were incompetent or because SoJ are evil japanese oni, it's because of a little gray machine called PlayStation

>>4039727
Yes. Welcome to 2005.

>>4045124
Aniki, he was being a bully.

>>4046042
This is true no matter what happened that gen. Even with every big arcade title getting a localization along with RPGs, the PS1 was unstoppable. It won in Japan, too, where Sega was not nearly as strapped for software or shooting itself with a surprise launch or facing retailer boycotts.
The fact is that the Saturn was more difficult to develop for than the PS1, didn't have the hardware sales since it was so expensive, and was less capable at 3D so it simply didn't have the same appeal to software makers as the PS1 or even the N64 which at the very least had tons of power.

>>4039514
Wouldn't it need a game for someone to start?

>>4039514

>>4039683
Segata Sanshiro!!!!
