Well, I saw that it had Shining Force III, which I know nothing about except that it's a JRPG.
Unfortunately, the overwhelming vast majority of its games were Japan exclusive.

As a huge saturn fan, I can admit that you won't get any experience like mario 64, however its library offers a great selection of shmups, fighting games, most of which never seen on the n64 or playstation, and if ported to the playstation, the saturn version was often better.

The answer is usually yes. Stop enjoying your media in relative terms; one game doesn't have to compare favorably with another in order to be enjoyed. I play lots of games for different reasons. Sega Rally Championship isn't the sprawling adventure that Ocarina of Time is, but I still put tons of hours into it because it's a fun ass game. Now go get a Saturn bitch

Sega tended to be more action arcade oriented so it doesn't have close analogues to all of them. I like Legend of Oasis more than any Zelda game I've played, but I'm also not a huge Zelda fan.

Likewise there aren't a lot of strong RPGs (Rayearth is alright though badly translated) or anything that's really like MGS for example. But in my mind that's the strength of the system, it has very different games and I like variety.

Astal

Thanks, I got it to work somehow without changing much of anything. I swapped the flex cables around so that the longer, double sided cable that was already in the console goes from the modchip to the CD board and the shorter one sided cable that came with the modchip goes from the motherboard to the chip. A good reseating of all the connections probably didn't hurt but I had tried that a handful of times before it worked.

Okay sure but again all I really care about is the games. Was Saturn successful with the masses? I guess not, but that's never really mattered to me. Also most of the hardcore trolling in this thread has come from people who don't seem like they've ever seen an actual Saturn at all.

>> No.5386684

>>5382257
The answer you're looking for is no. Beyond a handful of comparable games (Legend of Oasis, Panzer Dragoon, Burning Rangers, Dark Savior) the Saturn does not have games to compete with those in depth adventure titles.

However the Saturn excels in plenty of genres the N64 never touched. The N64 and Saturn were for two very different markets which when compared are like apples an oranges (hence the fanboy autism). N64 sought to reach new bounds, push 3D hardware, make adventures, and explore the future of gaming. The Saturn was for a very different person, one who adored Arcade titles and similar playing games. Fighting games, shooters, RPGs, puzzle games, and arcade ports are its specialty.

There's a very different angle you have to take the Saturn from. Maybe at the time, it was very much playing catch up and releasing older titles, but nowadays it is still the definitive way to officially play a lot of arcade titles. Playing Space Harrier and Afterburner II with the mission stick is an unbeatable experience for me, but that's my opinion.

5th gen is definitely super polarizing, considering how many companies threw their hat in the ring. Your console had to stick out, so the big three had some very interesting ways of doing so.

You probably had the ribbon connected backwards like a retard.

The sanyo drives have one of the sync signals inverted, so you need to fuck with the jumpers which just change how many times the signal is inverted through a 7404 on the modchip. It changes timing and fixes things for the Sanyo drive.

That was just the platform, I legit can't remember any games developed by Sony. I got the PS1 because FF7 was coming out for it and ended up playing basically every JRPG on the system as well as Megaman X4 and Street Fighter Alpha 3. I had an N64 and played it once in a while (Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Smash) but outside of a few first-party titles it didn't hold my attention like the RPG machine did. No one I knew had a Saturn, but I'm interested in it now that I'm expanding my horizons.

>The Sega Saturn is equipped with dual custom VDP chips for graphics processing. The VDP 1 chip is primarily responsible for sprite generation. Polygon generation is accomplished through manipulation of the sprite engine. Texture mapping and Gouraud shading is also handled by the VDP1. The VDP1 relies on a dual frame buffer that handles rotation and stores textures in special 512K cache.

If you are going to call PS1 "3D only" because it handles sprites like polygons, you should be fair and call the Saturn 2D only because it handles polygons like sprites.

>> No.5400776

>>5400197
I wouldn't go that far. The 32X is literally just 2 SH2s with some memory and a PWM channel. The thing has no video chip at all other than a simple frame buffer that can display 32k colors. All graphics drawn on the 32X, including sprites and backgrounds, must be done through software. That's why so many games have the Genesis draw things like backgrounds. The 32X isn't fast enough to draw them at a full 60fps.

The Saturn at least has 2 fully fledged graphics chips and a much more advanced sound chip. Yeah, distorting sprites to make polygons is kind of stupid, but at least it can draw sprites in the first place.

>> No.5400785

Wasn't the 32X underutilized by most software? I mean, just look at this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOWZbydnlZE
It was easier to let the genesis draw the background, it probably also meant less porting of code

>> No.5400807

>>5400785
In cases of what you can make the SH-2 do for 3D sure. But for other things like 2D not so much. As I said the system has no kind of graphical hardware other than a chip that can draw 32k colors to the screen. Everything you see done on the 32X is done through software. Sprites, Backgrounds, polygons, everything. I believe the best the 32X can do if it's drawing everything without the Genesis (Sprites, backgrounds, etc.) is 30fps with 1 or 2 background layers and a few sprites.

>> No.5400828

Playstation: maps a 2d texture onto a flat triangle with a set of texture coordinates determining how it gets scaled/interpolated. GPU doesn't know about depth.
Saturn: Draw a 2d texture as a quadrilateral in 2d space. Again, GPU doesn't know about depth.

Both of them are basically affine texture mapping accelerators (affine means no perspective aka 2D) . The ps1 supports UV mapping which is very nice, but it doesn't make the graphics hardware any more 3D.
