/vr/ - Retro Games

Wut.
It took you this long to get one? Why didn't you get one in the 90s?

>>6051105
You're not going to like any of them and the Saturn will be in storage in less than 3 months.

Dreamcast seems to get a significant amount of hate on this board yet somehow this doesnt

>>6051220
Go figure, I wonder the same shit. The DC on the other hand has literally dozens of god-tier titles you can't find anywhere else or are best there and the Saturn that has barely anything else apart from jap shit and 2D titles that could run on the SNES and it is hailed as the second coming of jesus. How the fuck did the Saturn outsell the N64 in Japan?

>>6051220
I blame SEETHING grandpas who don’t consider the DC (let alone the rest of the 6th gen) “le retro” and are stuck in deep denial of the imminent zoomer supremacy. Simple as.

>>6051239
I don't fucking get it, the DC died so quickly that it was pretty much retro by the end of its own gen, let alone by the next one where it felt older than the PSX but was discontinued only 4 years before the release of the 360

>>6051243
It’s kind of like if the Genesis had flopped and was discontinued in 1991.

>>6051237
I thinks its exactly that, that its held up as the second coming so people who go and play it and dont enjoy it that much start to shit on it. Where as people treat the saturn like a pretty good mid tier machine and have a good time with it dont complain even through saturns library is objectively far weaker.

Not remotely retro according to /vp/

>>6051237

>>6051237
Because the N64 doesn't have games aside from bing bing wahoo and zelda.

>>6051296
Please take note of the “r” present in our board’s name.

>>6051303
You mean mario64 doesn't WAHOO YIPEE WAHA

>>6051296
Even if that were true, even if Mario 64 and the Zeldas were the only titles on the N64, it would still be worth buying over the Saturn. It's not trash but it didn't do anything that couldn't be done in the previous gen.
>>6051291
any decent RPGs on par with the FFs for the PSX?

>>6051272

No. But there's Panzer Dragoon Saga, Albert Odyssey and a Lunar spin-off for pedos.

>all of the Saturn threads as of late
When I posted this, there were two general Saturn threads and a "Sonic R" thread in the catalog.
>2003-2004
That was the last time that I physically encountered a Saturn in the wild, at my long-gone brick & mortar "Music Recyclery" (F). I didn't know anybody IRL who owned a Saturn back when it was actually on the market, my only experience with it was playing the aforementioned "Sonic R" at a Circuit City display over 20 years ago.
>You're literally retarded, literally a faggot, and literally a zoomer
You literally need to go back to >>>/v/, or better still, wherever you posted before 2016, assuming you had internet privileges back then.

Your not really into shmups fighters and RPGs and you bought a Saturn? That's all there is to play on it why the fuck would you buy it

>>6051378
Already played the first 2. I was honestly surprised how good Saga was I just assumed it would be a shitty meme game I drop 1 hour in but I was engaged the whole time.

What's the c*nny game?

>>6052319
don't bother, playstation fans are just traumatized with their choppy arcade ports compared to the smooth saturn ones.

>>6052717
tfw you realize your arcade perfect Saturn port collection isn't arcade perfect and every game is better in MAME

>>6052291
t. 15-year-old election tourist.

>>6052721
more like tfw you realize many saturn ports are arcade perfect and also have extra features and is not emulation

>>6052717
Who gives a shit? This was one of many problems with sega its 1995 who fucking cares about the arcade anymore? The arcade in a few years would be all but dead.

>>6052756
I guess the ST-V ports could be perfect, but that was a gimped arcade system to begin with. Just look at how ST-V native games compare to games for the previously released Model 2 arcade board.

>>6053292
Talking about sexy ports like Vampire Savior, kiddo. Even better than the arcade original.

>>6053292
$15,000 arcade machine looking better than the saturn? That's to be expected, at that price it better be.

>>6053381
The ST-V IS an arcade system.

>>6053397
which we already know is identical to the saturn.

>>6051136
Magic Knight Rayearth after the cut scene doesn't seem very good. I really didn't enjoy the forty five minuets I spent with it .

Pretty sure it got titles after that, there's some news article every odd year about another DC release.

>>6054153
>waaaaaahhh

>>6052721
Yeah, because in the 90s CPS emulation was totally a thing. Jackass.

Where the hell can you even buy one of these for a decent price?

>>6057367
I'm thinking that the wild is your best bet. I finally bit the bullet and got one online for >$100 because a) I've wanted one forever, b) it's pre-modded and I'm lazy, and c) it's Christmas.

Consider that it’s a niche console which was relatively expensive when new and was significantly outsold by both the PSX (~10x) and N64 (~3x).

What revision of the Saturn should I get? Japanese models that is, both EU and US models are pretty expensive. Voltage isn't a problem since there's a kit available that replaces the PSU with a jack for an external one.

>>6054153
>SEETHING

I got mine 20 years ago, after it was a failed system, just to play this game

A bit unrelated, I'm learning more about it right now but whats the way to play Japanese discs on a ps1?
I've seen disc swapping but dont want anything damaged. and then there's a mod chip?

>>6054153
Imagine being so butthurt

>>6054153
Is it bad if I find this really catchy and keep replaying it and singing along?

>>6057367
At least you can get a modchip for cheaper than the everdrives that go with cartridge based systems.

>>6054207
Im talking about games licenced by Sega

>>6051105
>I can essentially play the 99.9% of the library I’ve “backed up” for myself.

not panzer dragoon saga disc 4 buddy. sorry about your luck.

>>6057743
Skeleton Saturn is my favorite, but I'm also pretty keen to the model 2 Victor Saturn. Honestly even the OG Japanese Model 1 looks good imo.

The only boring looking Saturn are the all black ones, even the Hitachi ones with pink buttons look good for Contrast.

>>6058775
I was more thinking if there's a certain revision that's technically better, like how certain PS1 models have better lasers and such. The colour scheme is a more subjective thing.

Should I get a Saturn? The only game I know I'll want to play is NiGHTS and Saturn Bomberman.

>>6057957
PseudoSaturn. There are sellers on eBay selling pre-flashed cartridges. You pop it into the cartridge slot and it bypasses all region and copy protection.

>>6059323
Knights? Lol. Saturn Bomberman is the shit tho

>>6059323
Do you like jrpgs fighting games and arcade style games?

>>6060293
And Pinball. Good god Saturn had some amazing exclusive Pinball games. That was the biggest reason I wanted one.

>>6060293
No, not really into any of those genres.

>>6051105
>Pieces of shit
Sega Saturn has better arcade ports than PS1. It also has the best Japanese library of games.

>>6061343
Then definitely dont get one seriously thats like getting an n64 and not likeing platformers fpses and racing games.

>>6059323
Saturn Bomberman has one of the better campaigns in the series. it's piss easy though

it's like bomberman 94 except every screen is a level that looks completely different graphically

>>6051105
it actually has far less 2D platformers than the playstation (to the point of embarassment) as well as a shit tier library of 3D platformers

>>6061972
>it actually has far less 2D platformers than the playstation (to the point of embarassment)
Not really.

Saturn has
>Clockwork Knight 1&2
>Super Tempo
>Keio 2
>Astal
>Shinobi X
>Tryrush Deppy
>Taromaru
>Hissatsu
>Assault Suit Leynos 2
>Mr. Bones
>better version of Silhouette Mirage
>better versions of Megaman 8 and X4
>better version of Rayman

Meanwhile, PSX just has Klonoa.

Holy shit bros, the Saturn looks absolutely perfect with the OSSC.

>>6061972
Saturn has Sonic Jam.
Playstation has... uuuuh, Crash Bandicoot.

>.mdf
>.mds

>>6057367
honestly found one in the wild on the facebook market place for good price. 70 bucks for console, cables, 2 controllers, working lightgun, and mortal kombat 2.

>>6062001
>>better version of Rayman
Wrong.

>>6062161
>Sonic Jam.
He's talking about GOOD games.

>>6064303
...or is he...?

http://www.gamezero.com/team-0/articles/head_head/rayman/

>>6064308
I know, I mentioned Crash just as a joke, of course.

Speaking of Saturn are the Retro-Bit 2.4 controllers good? What about the Bluetooth versions?

The saturn cult needs to go away

>>6064479
No. The retrobit controllers get the hard plastic parts right, but use vastly inferior rubber pads underneath. I got two of them, and the C buttons get stuck.

>>6064678
Well post another Bernie, you stupid faggit.

>>6064678
You're just mad because you don't own one, and you know this is absolutely true.

I'm gonna buy a replacement laser for my Saturn that reads game discs as 999:59 long audio discs (i.e. can't even see the TOC with the gain turned all the way up anymore). $7 US on ebay, wish me luck. I can't even tell if this is exactly the right laser (assembly and ribbon connector look identical to me at least), but this is the cheapest I've seen it for sale and I'm willing to risk it.

I bought a Saturn game, and I don't even own a Saturn. Feels great. Pic related, but not mine. Figured I'd jump on it now while it's cheap before the English translation gets released and the price gets fucked.

>>6065801
Its a fucking shump and fighting game machine thats it.

>>6065801
Post pics of your saturn collection or stfu, larper.

>>6065801
Like the PS3, you don't need to own one to know that the Saturn has no games.

>>6066245
>>6066293
>>6066305
mad and coping samefag.

>>6066305
The only similarities between these two I see is the price they go used

I'm poor and in a nursing home and only have a laptop. What is the best emulator for a Saturn?

>>6065842
if the laser gain can't be changed, try reseating the tray. Often the tray height is wrong and this gives the laser focus problems.

>>6066683
Believe me, I've tried everything. I've moved the tray both too high and too low to confirm that I'm in the right place. I've tried the laser gain pot at every position, from too low to even see that there's a disc to the maximum. I've tweaked all the pots on the drive assembly (focus error, focus gain, tracking gain, focus offset). The best I could get was occasionally lucky.
It all adds up to the laser being nearly dead, barely able to see anything and not well enough to get data bits. So, I probably need a new optical pickup.

>>6051136
I prefer this one

>>6066319
>using fucking Bug in your advert
Not helping your cause, Saturntard.

Saturnfriends are always going on and on about how we never got the best games stateside... in that case, what is the quirkiest, freakiest Japshit on this thing that I can play without knowledge of rice-runes? I want something with pic related vibes.

There are. Search for Universal Phantom or "The Phantom" (you know what it is) and it is compatible with every model of SS.
Some guy sold it on some forum and then moved on his own site.
Just ordered it for ~£19 and waiting.

I bought a Saturn last year and between all the great RPGs and shmups I'm playing, I barely have time to keep up with the small library of games I acquired. And I'm getting even more games for christmas.
Saturn is by far my most used console of 2019. And I have a Switch and PS4 Pro (I know, it's not saying much)

>>6072461
Thank you for blogging on the fourth channel new friend

Is Dragon Force 1 worth it if I already have Dragon Force 2?

My Saturn has been fucked for years. It won't spin discs anymore, I think the motor is busted. It eventually started going around maybe 2014 or so. It would spin any disc really slowly and then stop and now it doesn't at all. Is there any site or some shit that can fix Saturns or do I have to buy a new one? I want to play NiGHTS with my 3D Controller again.

bump

For me, it's the game library. Every time I play my Saturn I have fun with games like Sega Rally to games like Panzer Dragoon.

Where's the best place to get a Japanese Saturn from?
