I think SSF just does not have good timing code at this point, it does
things as fast as possible.  This seemed to be the case before as the
music easily broke up on NiGHTS on a slow CPU and still seems a little
fast on my Core 2 Duo.  Your CPU on the other hand is FAR faster than
mine so its allowing SSF to run too fast.

Its a little odd though, its not like SSF is using all my CPU power
which you would think it would do if its running as fast as possible.
  Perhaps its just an issue with Quads?  The author seems to only use
dual-core CPUs for testing.

haha its funny SSF is the only one that worked for me also,And also
i'm trying to get Albert odessey to work also.It loads up but the
problem i have is that it has two problems

1 it moves to fast.everything charecters running around fast etc.like
on speed.the voice/music also has a problem its going normal and
talking fine with no distortion then suddenly there is a
skip/distortion and it jumps ahead.this happens regularly.I'm running
off the cd too.

I have a intel quadcore 6700,they had to delay my order so they bumped
it from a es6700 for free.Anyhow I also installed vista which uses up
about 200% more ram/processor then XP.I have tried SSF with
compatiability mode and it crashes on all them except XP but it runs
just as bad if not worse.

Well anyhow i have no idea what all the options mean so if anyone
could tell me how i could configure SSF to fix these problems that
would be  cool

I'm not aware of Satourne being the best either.  SSF has almost
always been the best to my knowledge, Giri Giri was better for a while
but then SEGA bought it out and SSF took the crown again.

I have NEVER gotten Satourne to run at all, SSF was a problem because
it always needed a PC far more powerful than I had.  Giri Giri was
good middle ground but with current PC power SSF kicks major ass as
its got REALLY good compatibility.

Alex.

Since I am new to this all I got a few questions

In this game it loads up fine but it is to fast.everything is moving
to fast and the audio skips,it goes on talking fine then jumps ahead.


This is frusterating its so close but so far.most of the options are
another language for me I'v tried various compatiability options with
no difference

But has everyone else lost most of their yahoo groups?i had to come
here via e-mail link.

strange

if u say Satourne is the best how the world do u make the game run
im trying to play princess crown but evertime i load it up it thinks
itsa music disc the one emu i use plays the game but the graphics  and
sound is missing it will freeze on a point in the game then wont move
graphics were almost normal make a tourtail how to run any sega saturn
emu on youtube i like to see one that has every detail on what to do
not skipping the process of it

Well what do you know i just got into this because of albert oddessey

Dude get SSF.Satorne and such didn't work for me no matter what.ssf
worked like a dream i just can't figure out how to make it go full screen

I was just wanting to know if any websites are looking for
screenshots.  I have had some really good results running ssf emulator
and want to post.  I have a small collection of games however I am
relatively new to this as I recently got a computer that can run ssf
with good speeds.  Thank you

Hey I spent days trying to get satorne to run this friggin albert
oddessey disk and it doesn't,I mean i load up everything,the bios etc
and nothing

I gave up on the "best" saturn emulator and tried SSF
Soon as i load it A.O loads up!!! NO configuration or anything,no bios
loaded.its just friggin loads up and plays!!!!On Vista without even
any compatiability mode locked on

I am totally floored by that I mean i didn't even have my controller
plugged in.

So anyhow i tweak around with the settings.first thing i noticed was
the really ugly grey lines and unchecked scanlines,cleared that
up.gotta ask wtf is the scanlines for?I mean no one could like that
could they?

Second thing i gotta ask is,how to make this go full Screen?????

I looked everywhere but the most i can do is double the box.which is
annoying.

So if anyone can give me a bit of advice it would be cool.

like what to tweak on and off

I got a QX6700 quadcore(they delayed my es6700 machine so they gave me
this massive upgrade) on vista home premium

nice to know there are other sega appreciators out there.

I just wish whoever was in charge of sega was shot for going with
generic action/sports games on top of all the great rpgs it has going
for it.

We have had a few new members over the past couple of months so I
thought I would welcome you here to try to get some posting going on.

Also lets not forget http://sega.csdclubs.com/ which is my preferred
place for people to post (I can easily backup that site) but I
understand if some people would prefer Yahoo if you are already
registered with them.

So, problems, suggestions, compatibility reports, get posting em!

Yes I got Giri Giri to run Shining Force III, the fonts are totally
messed up but it seemed to run at a decent pace.  Never tried any
other games on it though.

There is a version of Giri Giri that works but its rather illegal as
its a hack of the version SEGA used for an online "Saturn games on
your PC" rental service in Japan.

I have no had any luck with any other emulator, personally.  Even on
that version of Giri Giri, the timings WAY off sometimes.  The music
on NiGHTS for example runs totally screwed up, the game itself even is
a bit dodgy especially as the emulator doesnt emulate the Analog
controller only digital. :-(

Also, I only ever got it working with a complicated system of ripping
the CD as a bin/cue set.  You then have to run a program to generate a
toc file for the image.  You THEN have to put it all together and
cross your fingers as it probably wont work anyway.  The Saturn was a
REALLY complicated system to emulate, unfortunately it means nobody
has quite done it properly so we are stuck.  Satourne looks like it
might pull it off eventually, but things are progressing painfully slowly.

Alex.

OK....

I've had EVERY emulator for the saturn and can't get ANY of them to
work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (maybe if they just made the f'n sh*t simple).

I "hear" Girigiri can play games if you have the actual CD or ISO,
thing is I have BOTH the ACTUAL SATURN CD, and an ISO of it....and
can't get ANY emulator to play my F'n game! no boot-up no nothing,
can't figure out the emu's....Girigiri gives me some weird japanese
ERROR! and i can't figure out Satourne or whatever!

has anyone gotten to use their ACTUAL CD's or ISO's to work on ANY of
the emu's or is it some big hoax?

do you have Snatcher or Policenauts for the PSX??

if it works that far, yeah i'll take it (e-mail it to me).

I have Snatcher for the sega saturn, and really want to play it, but
can't ever get an emu to work right.

Hi Saturn Emulation Members,

Just a quick update to let you know I am still around but I havent
been active in Saturn Emulation for a while.

I am still as interested as ever, possibly moreso as PC hardware
continues to get faster, but progress still seems sickeningly slow on
Saturn Emulation so I havent been keeping up-to-date.  The great thing
about a little community like this is I can count on someone to let me
know if anything truely breathtaking happens.

So, if anyone has anything to talk about by all means post about it
and if you havent already, please join the Sega Gaming & Emulation
club over at CSD Clubs. http://csdclubs.com/club?cid=4

You may also be interested in the GameZone club
http://csdclubs.com/club?cid=6 and the Sonic Team Tribute club
http://csdclubs.com/club?cid=16 where we chat about the latest games
we are anxiously awaiting.

Thankyou for remaining a member of SaturnEmulation,

Alex.

This is rather a futile effort don't you think?

Surely such a thing already exists and you are looking at it right now
(if you are using the web interface).  Its called Yahoo Groups!

Why reinvent the wheel?

I admit you could do better than Yahoo, im not a huge fan.  But I
think creating a forum just for the sake of trying to have every
subject is a bit of a daft idea.  A good idea is to create it so that
people have a better system to use for discussions.

I dunno, sounds a bit of a stupid idea to me.  By that logic you would
have to add EVERY game character who is recurring such as all the
Sonic characters and why not Luigi?  Heck, why not Solid Snake or the
characters from Grand Theft Auto?

While I truely support gaming I don't think it has a place in the
Hollywood Walk of Fame.

      Hey man sorry about that, I havn't been getting Group Digests

As far as im aware Giri Giri is the fastest.  I think it will only get
close to full speed with 3Ghz or faster CPU though.
NiGHTS is almost playable (still with bad audio) on an AMD AthlonXP
2200+ (2Ghz) and I expect thats one of the games using the most of the
hardware.

I will have to find Panzer Dragoon Saga and see how it runs here.  I
know first generation games like Panzer Dragoon (1) and Daytona USA
run almost flawlessly full speed.  In fact, Panzer Dragoon runs better
than the X-Box version that comes with Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Well I tried it with Pazar dragoon Saga.  It runs alittle slow with
girigiri gav.  I was hoping the new girigiri would be faster.  Is
there any satrun Emus that run fast?  Yes of course I was using XP!:P
