/vr/ - Retro Games

Another trashy jarpig nobody is going to play now that it got translated.

Always wanted to play this one since I saw it in a magazine as a kid.
I'm very happy.

Playing the fuck out of this.
I managed to snag a rom file but it's kinda fucky, in .ccd format which is making it difficult for some emulators or straight up not playing for some reason.
If anyone could link to a clean .bin/cue it'd be much appreciated.

Intredasting. I'll give it a play after I finish Soleil.

JRPGs are cancer

>>5268392
NO PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE CANCER AND AIDS!

>>5268392
This is an action-adventure game, not a jarpig, dumb /vg/ zoomer.

>game crashes on the overworld with mednafen
Well, forget that then.

>>5268859
It runs perfectly in SSF

>>5268184
>>5268392
you should go back to the gacha containment board

>>5268319
Anyone? Pls upload or link a good bin/cue. Can't find a good download for this game.

>>5268859
Werks fer me.

>>5269048
Mednafen will work fine til you get to the world map, then it crashes.
Through retroarch I could bypass this by enabling shared saves on Kronos and moving passed the crash and returning to Mednafen and the map loads but it doesn't render the 3D properly still.

Huh. Well here's something I never thought would get a translation. Well guess I'll add it to the Saturn pile of games to play eventually then

>>5269023
>SSF
>Windows-only

Is it an action role playing game?

>>5268859
>>5269023
>>5269056

The game is tested to work on real consoles right? If then, it's just an emulator bug. Or the translation is designed only to work in SSF?

>>5269108
from the readme included:

Emulators to use
======================================================
The game is VERY picky with the emulation software.
Hence, it simply freezes eventually on mednafen and
has some issues on the most popular emulators available
today.
- SSF (number 1 recommended, though it has some
reported lag and framerate drop issues);
- Yabause/YabaSanshiro (play the game fine mostly,
but experience troubles when playing separate
musical pieces in the beginning and the end:
yabause-0.9.14 version was used for testing);
- Mednafen (v1.22.0 or earlier) is not recommended -
game freezes on global map;
- Real hardware. THE GAME HAS BEEN FULLY TESTED
ON AN ACTUAL SEGA SATURN SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY
ISSUES DETECTED. It goes without saying that
it is the best option to play the game.

just got to the crash on mednafen/retroarch.
after you beat the first boss and go north to touch a tornado effect to reach the worldmap, you get a black screen with music.

i really don't want to go back to ssf but its going to be mandatory

>>5268178
works perfectly on my rhea
>>5269123
lol poor fags

Where are the idiots arguing about how Mednafen fixed Saturn emulation again?

>>5269153
Shut up! Mednafen runs PERFECTLY!
PERFECTLY!
100%! HWOOOOOOARGH!

>>5269153
One game doesn't work. So what? It's only one game.

>>5269145
It will work on retroarch's Kronos core well enough, I did notice it had small graphical glitches though.
I figure anything is worth mentioning because going back to the dinosaur that is SSF can be a pain in the ass.

>>5269153
To be fair this seems like a chink in mednafen's armor because it's such a niche and untested game that nobody gave the time of day til recently.

>>5269172
One game you don't know. See, when people say "<emulator> runs everything PERFECTLY" they actually mean "it runs all the games I know PERFECTLY", which is probably 5% of the games on the system.

>>5269172
>>5269163
>>5269153

Mednafen saturn was the right approach, and it was never claimed to be perfect. Just WIP and good enough for most games. It was believed it would be updated and eventually reach the same quality as Mednafen PSX. However, it's been months since the last update and its' unknown whether it will get another update.

man we are really getting a string of never evers these past few months

>>5269325
Don't worry, the world won't stop until we get Moon and Segagaga.

I can only find this game in ccd/img/sub format and SSF will not run it. Just get a black screen with a second or two of audio and then loud broken static.
Any help? I'll hit up /emugen/ too I guess.

>>5269516
I was trying to burn it to CD but it does not seem work.

Cannot find a bin/cue release of the game either. Guess this is for people that have the original disc.

>>5269516
You can install Virtual Clone Drive to mount the .ccd, and use some other program to rip it to .cue/.bin.

>>5269516
Virtual Clone Drive can mount those images. Then you can play them with SSF.
.ccd is so prevalent on old rips because Clone was the best software we had to rip games with back in 2001~2004.

>>5269624
Found a version with Cue, ISO, and MP3 files.
Burned a copy unpatched and it ran fine on my Saturn. Tried applying the patch and I just get a black screen after the Sega logo.

Tested it and it works fine once you convert the files after applying the patch.

>>5269702
I have to burn saturn games as bin/cue/wav only, it's annoying having so many bad releases. I found one but I'm on Mega's wait list right now. If anyone knows of a way to successfully convert games with mp3 audio to wav and get good results let me know. The last game I burned was Purikura Daisakusen and most of the music tracks went from fine as mp3, fine as wav, to static ear rape on the saturn. only like 5 tracks worked fine.

>>5269096
>using an OS other than Windows

This is the game the Ragnacenty guys made? Heard it was complete ass.

>>5268178
>mega
Not touching that encrypted Trojan, post the RHDN dl link instead stupid counter culture child

>>5269997
RHDN a shit.

>>5269667
>>5269671
I tried these methods and didn't work, I'm sure it's just me having a bad rom dump now.
>>5269702
Could you link to this iso please?

Or if anyone has a link could mind sharing. I just want to play the thing.

>>5269997
The patch is over 30mb so RHDN can't host it.
If someone can link or upload a working bin/cue of the game I'll re-upload the patch elsewhere for you.

>>5270302
This is the one I used that worked before but not after patch.

>>5270336
Thanks.
Here's another link to the patch for anyone who hates mega:

Damn, down for this. Centy/Soleil looked like LTTP to the untrained eye but just did so much I've never seen before in an action rpg and felt almost mascot platformy at times with the amount of platforming/springs/rev pads and the like. Even has a Labyrinth Zone. Even has Sanic. From videos this looked like more of that with wilder graphics and cute girls. Everyone wins.

>>5269096
Dumb OS hipsters need to stay in their containment board >>>/g/
Fact is, if you play vidya then you should be using Windows. If you use anything else then the fault lies with you and you shouldn't complain.

>>5269123
glorious hardware masterrace, emufags btfo

>>5270336
Got it working. I don't remember how though.

>>5270336
Yeah shit I couldn't get it working.
>>5270421
Oh. Please remember how you did it, I'm stuck.

>>5270448
I downloaded two different versions of the game and burnt about 6 bad CDs trying different things.

I think I used Anyburn to convert the ccd, img, sub version of the game to .bin and cue. And then just patched that. Was not having luck with the ISO+mp3 version.

>>5270461
>used Anyburn to convert the ccd, img, sub version of the game to .bin and cue. And then just patched that.
Was trying to do this with the ccd version too with magiciso and poweriso but no luck. I'll try Anyburn.

>>5270421
Really liking the sprite work and animation

Also it says in the manual, but to save the game you have to press start at the world map, which is accessible a few minutes in to the game.

I was thinking it was someone I had to talk to until I looked read the manual.

I cannot get this working on SSF at all and it sucks. Has anyone else gotten it to work?

The translated image will load up and play fine on Mednafen/Beetle Saturn (til the crash) and also plays fine on Yabause/Kronos although with pretty bad graphical glitches but that same
image will not load on SSF no matter what I do.

>>5270665
>Has anyone else gotten it to work?
Gotta use the real thing.

>>5270665
Works fine on test SFF. Mount it via virtual clonedrive, and just run SSF.

>>5270707
I've been doing that as I'm trying to explain, my image just doesn't work on SSF.
Any chance you could upload yours?

>>5270742
Not with my upload. I used the iso from edgeemu.

>>5270779
The fuck, that's the same one I'm using.
The hell am I doing wrong? I tried mounting the .img and .ccd file using daemon tools and I get a blackscreen/crash.

>>5268178
Wait... [Link]le, Saturn (cube), Nextech (nxt)

>>5270783
All I did was patch .img via ppf-o-matic, mount .ccd, download and boot SSF without doing anything else.
>daemon tools
That might be your problem. Try Virtual CloneDrive.

These splash sprites sure look tasty.

>>5268178
I only pray originals

>>5270802
It was an SSF setting on my end, new config fixed it. Thanks for the tip on Virtual CloneDrive though, beats Daemon by a lot.

>>5269153
They're too busy trying to hide the fact that the amount of input lag in mednafen makes 90% of Saturn games unplayable.
>>5269172
>One game doesn't work.
That you know of.
>>5270665
Yeah works fine for me. I used a redump ISO. It was one of those silly multi-bin rips so I made a normal single bin out of it and then patched it.

>>5270368
>Dumb OS hipsters need to stay in their containment board >>>/g/
Dumb corporate cocksuckers who defend OS's that don't respect their freedoms need to commit suicide.

>Fact is, if you play vidya then you should be using Windows. If you use anything else then the fault lies with you and you shouldn't complain.
No thanks, I'll continue using my superior UNIX-like for vidya while you have to deal with Windows' downward spiral. Have fun when Windows 7 (the last somewhat decent version) becomes deprecated in a year or 2.

>>5268859
Works fine on real hardware. Must suck hard to be poor.

>>5268178
Downloaded, burned and works.

Is this a transparency effect? Looks pretty decent.

>>5271413
More like a color mix, like the SNES does it?! You could do transparency in software, but it's slow.

>>5271413
Also how do you level up weapons? I see how to make them in the manual but they are all level 1.

got it working in ssf, but its very picky in which cd mounting software you're using.
ending up switching to virtual clonedrive and making an iso, but only because that software doesn't support cue files lol
mednafen fix when

>>5271469
Never, because the devs are imbeciles.

SSF is trash for other reasons than no *nix support. Terrible input lag, hasn't received an update in almost 2 years, closed source, have to either use actual discs or mount with Daemontools (chinese spyware) to read games...

>>5271469
Worked fine in retroarch for me. No fucking with external programs or anything. I just built the bin cue and loaded that directly

>>5271587
Stay mad :^)

>>5271675
The only thing I'm mad about is the shitty state of Saturn emulation.

>>5271685
So contribute to making it better then.

>>5271685
Contribute something to development or play on real hardware, asshat.

>>5271698
>Contribute something to development
Don't have the technical prowess.

>or play on real hardware, asshat.
Don't wanna give my money to ebay reseller jews.

You could find a Saturn locally, or buy it through a trade group (plenty on facebook.)

Morr likely you are just fronting and are a poor fag, or are just too lazy.

>>5272010
Thank you anon.

wtf why would they make a game that's impossible to play

>>5271469
this guy here
went out of my way to not use a disk mounting software.
someone made a ssf launcher that supports chd files, so you just convert the game to chd using chdman, pop the launcher and game paths in a batch file and call it a day. now its ready for a frontend

It won't. Learn to fucking fix stuff, it's easy with consoles from this generation. Learn soldering, learn about basic electronics. You sound like you're dumb as a rock.

just pop it into your saturn.

you do have a saturn, right?

right?

Can we talk about the game? Is it good?

I'm enjoying it. Nothing exciting, dungeons are just you smashing into enemy sprites for the most part. Some of the bosses are cool, nice music and visuals, being able to sprint makes navigating fun.

iz alright

>>5275037
So, no good puzzles then? No point in bothering with a Zelda clone if the puzzles are shit.

>>5275102
If the lack of kindergarten puzzles is a deal breaker to you, then yeah don't bother.

Imagine feeling this bad with your life to feel THAT PROUD of owning a real Saturn.
Now that's some extreme elitism for, of all things, fucking videogames.

Any kind anon got the Mega link for the whole Saturn library?

>>5275705
HAHAHA poorfag

Play Master Quest, it has actually decent puzzles.

saturn can do transparencies. anyone saying it can't are misinformed.
