DOS76 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 I've been on EmuCr for a little while today checking out somethings and I've noticed that Yabause has been getting a lot of builds this month I downloaded the latest and so far it only hasn't run Die Hard Trilogy which won't run in SSF either. I'm hoping this progress has something to do with the new instructions that were unlocked by Dr. Abrasive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I had a look into the latest build and there is some stuff in the settings that requires a bios dump of a chip other than the system bios. Still no sound effects in Darius Gaiden however so this emulator still has work to be done. Nice to see it progressing though, some day we will have good Saturn emulation :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Can you get it to work through LB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I didn't bother trying to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Ha I would like to figure it out I read something old that said they had decided to remove the command-line parameters from the emulator which is just killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 SSF actually got an update not that long ago as well, weirdly enough - v0.12 beta r4. The settings have gotten even more bloated than they (already) were, but it seems to work pretty well with some tweaking. I haven't revisited Yabause in a while (probably about a year) because it was just so trash the last time I tried it. SSF is a convoluted, unwieldy monster but it's always provided the best results in my experience. If the newest incarnation of Yabause is actually on the same level as SSF in terms of compatibility/accuracy, I'm all for it; I would just be amazed if that were the case. My real hope for the future of Saturn emulation is in Mednafen, just because it has such a proven track record. I have the feeling it's still a ways off though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 SSF has test builds on EmuCR I just can't get Daemon tools to work on the latest preview build of Windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 DOS76 said SSF has test builds on EmuCR I just can't get Daemon tools to work on the latest preview build of Windows o_O Dear god... I'd freak out if I didn't have access to DT. I probably use it more than my physical disc drives. Like I said, I'm all for moving away from SSF if there's actually a viable alternative. How many games did you test? Any notable issues (other than Die Hard Trilogy and Darius Gaiden)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 No it was running games SSF can't handle but then the RA core still won't play those so they are ahead of the core it seems I had it running Corpse Killer and Double Switch both of which run like dog shit in SSF. It plays Croc which for SSF you need like a beta 10 or 11 version in order to not get the black screen with sound. It handles AMOK which SSF won't (This one works in RA) play. I was trying to remember games I had issues to see if they worked. Hopefully the stand alone will make more moves and then the core will get updated to reflect that and we could end up with a nice emulator or we can hope Mednafen works its magic.

Zombeaver Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 DOS76 said Corpse Killer and Double Switch both of which run like dog shit in SSF. That's weird, I don't recall having any issues with these in SSF. I'll double check tonight. DOS76 said It plays Croc which for SSF you need like a beta 10 or 11 version in order to not get the black screen with sound. Is there any particular reason not to just play the PSX version? DOS76 said It handles AMOK which SSF won't (This one works in RA) play. It's funny, I actually just picked up a big box PC copy of this a couple days ago. I haven't tried the Saturn version.

DOS76 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 That's weird, I don't recall having any issues with these in SSF. I'll double check tonight. They always run super slow and choppy for me unplayable on all of my machines and I have a few that can handle just about anything you throw at them. Is there any particular reason not to just play the PSX version? No I just like to have everything working everywhere when I can. I most likely will never end up playing either version.

They always run super slow and choppy for me unplayable on all of my machines and I have a few that can handle just about anything you throw at them. You know what... I just realized that I think I have these for Sega CD not Saturn. That's probably why. I'll double check but I'm almost positive that's what it is. DOS76 said Is there any particular reason not to just play the PSX version? No I just like to have everything working everywhere when I can. I most likely will never end up playing either version. Haha, fair enough! Croc actually isn't too bad. It's no Super Mario 64, of course, but it's decent. Jumping Flash 2 would probably be my pick for best PSX platformer that's 3D. It'd probably be a toss up between that and the Spyro series. There's a lot of other goodies too though - Gex: Enter the Gecko, the Crash Bandicoot series, Tail Concerto... actually come to think of it I'd put all of these above Croc haha. You could do worse though. I'm looking at you Bubsy 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfire36 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Im sure all saturn emulators will be getting updates ..the Saturn copyright code has finally been reversed engineered after 20 years . https://www.engadget.com/2016/07/12/sega-saturn-copy-protection-cracked/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yeah by Dr. Abrasive who I mentioned in the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Oh wow, I hadn't heard that. I saw where @DOS76 mentioned that in the OP but I wasn't actually sure what it was in reference to. That's actually super exciting! Better late than never! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think someone had already linked that in a post I'm pretty sure that is where I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
