NiGHTS and Jet Set felt fine to me but I didn't play it back to back with the originals to see if there was anything off.

I love how Sega put's NiGHTS into Dreams in this collection, despite it being a port of a Sega Saturn game that never appeared on the Dreamcast. Sonic DX is a port of the GameCube game. Jet Set Radio is a good port. I'm sure Space Channel 5 part 2 is fine. Never played the rest.

Quite lame picks for dreamcast representation holy shit. I guess crazy taxi, sonic, and jet set are a given, but wtf is nights doing there, and none of the others interest me

For context, this is the SECOND SADX port on PC; there are actually three of them, each one somehow worse than the last.

Crazy Taxi
There are mods to fix the controls and restore the licenced music and locations

Sonic Adventure DX
Use the SADX Mod loader for various improvements including the restoration of the Dreamcast versions lighting engine

Jet Set Radio, Nights and Space Channel 5 are generally fine but are locked to 30fps.

>>8175306
Crazy Taxi has an analog fix patch along with additional patches for all the music, voices and as of recently, the replaced real life location. All the others are perfectly fine.

I've heard space channel 5 doesn't recognize your inputs correctly? OH and I didn't have issues with SADX but with SA2.

>>8175506
You heard wrong, I actually thought the same but the game is just that goddamn brutal. Compared to all the other character rhythm games SC5 does not fuck around, and I heard the first game is even harder.

>>8175506
Sonic Adventure 2's speed is tied to its frame rate so you need to cap it to 60fps

>>8175517
but it doesn't change when I put the game in 60hz mode.

>I love how Sega put's NiGHTS into Dreams in this collection, despite it being a port of a Sega Saturn game that never appeared on the Dreamcast
Technically its a port of the 2008 PS2 version which was only released in Japan

>>8175519
I never had a problem when I played it at 1080p 60Hz. You could try capping it to 60fps with something like RivaTuner

>>8175306
SADX is good with mods

>>8175487
Space Channel 5 Part 2 on Steam allows for 144hz, and it doesn't make the game a lick easier.

>>8175564
Even with mods the Steam version of SADX is still a fucking pile of shit full of bugs. I gave up on it after accidentally spindashing into a wall while trying to talk to a guy in the train station and falling into the void. SA2 in comparison plays like a dream, literally the only major bug in it is getting stuck on the gate you have to roll under before the truck in City Escape.

Oh that's interesting. I own the Steam version and should give it a try. It also contains the Christmas Nights bonus disc content.dpgk4

Grandia 2 is great

The collection is fine for that sale price.

>>8175306
Should be fine

The Jet Set Radio port completely reworks the camera to make it more agreeable.

>Sonic Adventure DX
>Crazy Taxi
Shit ports but some of their issues can be fixed with mods.

>Space Channel 5
>Sega Bass Fishing
Haven't played em, wouldn't know.

>NiGHTS
Good port even though it isn't a Dreamcast game. IIRC this is actually a port of the PS2 remake.

>Jet Set Radio
Great port, camera fix alone makes it the definitive version, but I think it might be missing a few licensed songs from the Dreamcast version like Just Got Wicked.

3? I only know of 2, the OG PC port and then the Steam version which is a lazy port of the Xbox version.

Nowadays most people just buy the Steam version and install the BetterSADX mod which is a huge overhaul of the game made by incredibly autistic fans and it basically fixes every single issue with it and makes it 1:1 authentic to the Dreamcast game but with optional HD HUD, 16:9 support, as well as the HD character models from GameCube (you can optionally replace them with the OG DC ones).

>make sequel for wii in 2007
>port original to ps2 in 2008
not that it matters but seems weird

>>8175770
The collision bugs are true of the Dreamcast original as well. It's just how the game was coded. E.g. you can fall through the ground in the very first level (shortly before the whale section) if you run into one of the walls, this can be replicated on any version.

Vanilla SADX in Steam is absolute shit, I have a weird audio lag each time I play Twinkle Park. There's some annoying background noise and it won't stop even if I pause. They removed Game Gear and Master System unlockables.
Plane and snowboarding stages are actually WORSE in comparison to old 2004 version because of widescreen resolution. You can't aim well, I had to lower the resolution to 640x480 to pass these stages.

Install mods, they should make it better.

Oh, I forgot, when you play Chao Garden, textures on your chao will sometimes glitch and turn them into horribly disfigured monstrocities for a split second
That doesn't affect your play experience, but it's there.

Lots of SADX port autism, written by the main dev behind the BetterSADX mod, worth a read.
