hmmm
on P4-2G using GiriGiri[hack] RSG runs too slow to be playable... ???

Giri Giri has other problems. No matter how fast your PC is, it doesn't draw some (or all) 2D layers at the full 50/60fps. It seems to be able to do 3D and some 2D layers at full speed - PC allowing - but if you look at.. say... the level backgrounds to Linkle Liver Story or Radiant Silvergun, they stutter as you move. Only drawing every 2/3 frames, probably.

We continue - $599 RSG

I could buy a kidney from a Filipino child for George Best for that.

For God's sake, think of George Best!?

i reckon st-v emulation will overtake regular saturn emulation, not least because it's now a part of mame and hence the games will be seen by more people - it's all down to the available documentation, talent of the coders and demand for the emulator.

saturn's a beast to emulate from what i've read, and the fact that the saturn emulators haven't been update/optimised in aaaages could be due to demand issues.

mind you, namco games on mame without sound (tekken, etc) were because there's no documentation for the sound chips. dunno how the situation's changed within the past few months though as i've been out of the 'scene' since then.

remember satcast? the saturn emu for dreamcast? that never materialised, and i doubt it was 'too hard' for sega to do! even now, games like doa are apparently emulated saturn versions so the saturn IS being emulated (and on a P3/733 at that)

Indeed, the DOA1 on the DOAUltimate for Xbox was a port (albeit a slightly spruced one) from the Saturn version.

Oh, and saturn emulation is pretty good actually. Sure it's needed an update to get that final lot of uncompatible games in (burning rangers weird messed up textures anyone?) but Panzer Saga runs fine.

I remember wanting to get hold of RSG... in the end I just got hold of a ST-V board and paid ?30 for the cart.. Have to say I prefered battle garegga on the saturn to it!

That's 'cos BG is a better game
