Fighters megamix.

Is it worth it to go from svideo to rgb?

>>4431037
I guess Panzer Dragoon Saga is the obvious answer. Has never been ported and sadly never will be.
Personally I prefer Shining Force III. No idea why that has never been ported as a collection to a modern system or PC

>>4431045
>owned that game
>had stored in the drawer with other games
>open the box to replay it
>fucking cd is cracked

I raged too much. Every other game was fine, but it had to be THAT ONE.
I just wanted to beat shit with the palmtree and the daytona usa car, is that asking too much?

I mostly use mine to play games that aren't exclusives. Having the best home ports of Afterburner 2 and Outrun, complete with peripherals, is awesome.

Last Gladiators is Saturn exclusive, though, I think. That game rocks.

Is $50 for a saturn a good deal? just the console + cables + 1 pad

>>4431069
ye

>>4431065
Very fun game.

Is a Pseudo Saturn method a good alternative to playing backups if i dont know/want to solder?

>>4431037
>Last Gladiators is Saturn exclusive, though, I think

It has an ios port.

>>4431096

Fun, a bunch of courses, soundtrack was great(dat Rent-A-Hero instrumental), a bunch of characters and neat secrets.

But is sad though. Sonic the Fighters got ports because Sonic, but Megamix doesnt

>>4431037
Bulk Slash

>>4431146
All levels are easy as fuck except for the last stage that's just a huge boss rush. None of the waifus do anything important gameplay-wise and unlocking the secret waifu is a grind.

>>4431104
It works great but some games need a quick patch to the ISO before burning the disc. A pretty complete list is on the Pseudo Saturn page.

>>4431037
No, we cannot.

>>4431213
Did nothing wrong.

>>4431213
He wasn't wrong, really, as much as I like Grandia, Sakura Taisen and Princess Crown they weren't essential must-plays.

stupid sexy pixie stop making me gay

Assault Suit Leynos 2

>>4431037
we have one every single day

>>4431236
He was wrong. Because the JRPG fad caused by FF7, even mediocre titles like Legend of Dragoon were best sellers on the Playstation.

>>4431287
Thing is FF7 sold on its CGI graphics, all of the Saturn rpgs were 2D

>>4431236
>Grandia
this would've been a hit if it was on the playstation from the start, great battle system

>>4431213

>mediocre titles like legend of dragoon
>mediocre

That shit was UNPLAYABLE.
Worse than chrono cross almost. How the fuck these games have so many boners pointed toward them is beyond my understanding.
I'm serious, go try to get through ten minutes of chrono cross. I couldn't even attack the first enemy and I've played nothing but RPGs for the past 15 years.

>>4431065
I once taped a twisted metal CD together after breaking it and it worked perfectly fine

>>4431291
FF7 graphics look shit.

>>4431374
were you trying to use level 3 attacks without comboing first. the game tells your accuracy on the screen

>>4431407
But that shit is what the market wanted.

Don't listen to Saga hipsters. Saga is fine but the real number 1 ultimate Saturn exclusive experience is this. And it's not a memexpensive game either.

>>4431407
So did Donkey Kong Country, but people still called it revolutionary.

>>4431467
The market is shit.


>>4431518
That looks better than ff7.

>>4431217
you American?
if no
otherwise yes

>>4431374
i quite like the game

>>4431518
DKC didn't have ugly, blocky 3D polygons.
FF7's pre-rendered backgrounds are nice.

Shining Force 3

>>4431175
Should i go for Pseudo Saturn or the Kai version?

>>4431518
I thought both looked beautiful and still do, and I grew up a Sega kid (and was the only kid in my town to own a Saturn pretty much.) I love my Saturn RPGs though and I'll take that STHA aesthetic over anything ever.

>>4431781
Kai Lite has the highest capatability and fits on Action Replay cartridge

Smb with game basic.

>>4431402
Cool story Edgar

>>4432627
My father is electronics.

What are the best 2D (sprite based) platformers on the Saturn? I'm thinking of getting one, but only because I hear it has a stronger library of 32-bit 2D games than the PSX

One of the absolute best games to me was Keio Yuugekitai.
A solid action platform with great side scrolling shooter stages.
It had a crazy sense of humor and to me had the whole package of great animation, great music and was awesome overall fun to play.

>>4432761
Super Tempo

>>4431239
What game is this?

>>4431065
I like the Virtua Cop officer girl. She could fire her gun which did like 1/4th damage to whatever she he hit. It was really overpowered.
If you did the attack several times in a row the "RELOAD" voice sample would play.

>>4433025
Shining the Holy Ark. A very fun fist person dungeon crawler.
There are curved and non grid pathways to travel on.

>>4431239
Does... does he have a boner?

Fuck I love my Saturn
>Guardian Heroes
>Pander Dragoon Saga
>Burning Rangers

That last one was a lot of fun and had some cool levels. Surprised they didn't make a sequel to it.

Man, this console is such a pile of shit. It had the potential to be great, but they fucked it up. I will never understand the fascination with it either, given that the library is absolute steaming trash. You can count the actual good games on two hands, the rest is a bunch of cringey weebshit and sad ports. Didn't ship with an analog controller, no flaship Sonic game, relied on weird experimental titles with no advertising, one of the worst logos ever made, expensive as shit (even when it was new), giant ass plastic cases that crack at the slightest touch... I could go on. It had some cool features, I particularly liked the menu screen with the shiny little buttons... and that's about it. Everything else about it is trash. It got spanked by the PS1's massive library, superior form factor and controller, and decimated by the N64's higher quality games, focus on multiplayer and enhanced graphics. What a shitshow of a machine.

Just start with the first one, the entire series is too good to pass.

>>4431104
You don't have to solder to install a Saturn modchip, you just unplug the ribbon cable leading from the motherboard to the CD drive and plug the chip in the middle

>>4432776
As much as I appreciate you mentioning one of my very favourite games on the Saturn, it bothers me that ypu didn't use the official western title: Keio Flying Squadron 2.

I get that if you're american it's cheaper to buy the jap version and not having to deal with 50hz, but don't forget the game as a hilarious and wacky story, and the PAL version is worth it for the translation alone.

>>4433547
Sega was too busy making original and inovative titles to bother with derivative sequels like the competition did.

>>4433601
The original PD can be played on PC, PS2, Xbox (albeit arguably it controls best on Saturn).
But Zwei remains a Saturn exclusive.

>>4433650
Yet the best Saturn game is a sequel.

>>4433754
Indeed

>>4431047
No.

>>4431069
very good deal immediately take it, U.S. saturn, of course, jap sat you can prolly do better

>>4433647
I was unaware that there even was a UK port for this title until just recently. It had nothing to do with the PAL format.
I recently played it via emulator and found the voice acting dull and at points outright annoying.
The Japanese voice acting had so much more charm and provided the game with so much more character in my opinion.

>Can we have a [thread] thread?
What is this wave of cucks infiltrating everything, who are so beta, they have to ASK if we can please have a thread? Just fucking announce the thread you fucking retarded soy loving faggot. Fuck you OP

>>4435928

Whats the best single player saturn games? I just got one. Using Pseudo Saturn, so money is no issue.

>>4437865
Panzer Dragoon II Zwei.
However it doesn't work with the pseudosaturn I have, I have the original game anyway.
I think pseudosaturn Kai is able to run it, not sure.

>>4437865
Panzer Dragon Zwei
Super Tempo
Lunacy
Shinobi X
Devil Summoner

>>4435878

These are my favourite guide types. How many other consoles got them?

>>4438296
I got that one from here: http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com
And the webm from a webm thread on /v/.

toxic masculinity

>>4438881
Your kind is not wanted here

>>4431146
came here to say this

>>4431150
admittedly, this is pretty true

>>4431471
this is another top recommendation
Zwei is stellar. First game is great too, but Zwei is both better, and Zwei is an exclusive.

>>4433647
is the PAL version PAL optimized?
might just burn a copy even though I bought the JP release

>>4431104
Sure.
Get Pseudo Saturn Kai, which actually gets updates.

>>4437879
it works on Kai, yeah.

>>4431467
the market was completely fuck retarded at the time

I will never for the life of me understand why people cream themselves over Panzer Dragoon Saga. It might actually be the most overrated game I've ever played. I'm still not sure it's not an army of shills who want to drive the price of the game up.

>>4438894
deal with it shitlord

>>4438985
Hi. We try to maintain 4chan as a space where people can be intentionally crass and aggressive towards each other. There's nothing wrong with that if everyone knows what they're getting into ahead of time, and in fact it can be kind of fine. Given that pretty much every other space in the world is heading towards having more strict and polite rules of discourse, it's fine if we have one space that's different, right? I hope you understand.

>>4439154
*kind of fun, not kind of fine

I have a Sega Saturn that has no battery cover. Would anyone be able to take some close up pictures of their battery cover and maybe take dimensions?
I'd like to try to 3D print a new one.

>>4431135
Apparently Model 2 games are easier to port than Saturn ones.
