Mednafen Saturn coming ?

[ckp]

aha! i tried the europe bios and it works!!

[ckp]

now i need to figure out how to get my xbox360 controller to work

For standalone, Alt + Shift + 1 configures player one controls and  Alt + Shift + 2 for player 2.

For RA it's just configured like any other core.

This is awesome. Got things up and running well and testing things now. I found that by default the screen doesn't seem to stretch to full dimensions in full screen so first I tried using the "-ss.stretch aspect" function which helped but still wasn't quite full for whatever reason. Changing it to "-ss.stretch 0 -ss.xscalefs 5 -ss.yscalefs 5" however fixed it beautifully.

I tried this but it's in 4:3 on my 1080p 16:9 screen. Is there a way to go 16:9 but still look good?

edit: never mind want original aspect ration so this is good

And I take it this is one that you already ran through CDMage?

No I didn't have to do anything to my images once I used the europe bios as mph-17933.bin !! woohoo!

now i'm just wondering what the best command line parameters are with original aspect ratio, performance, best looking, etc.

Thanks, that worked, although I was a bit confused at first. I assumed pressing alt-shift-2 would guide me through two controllers and it made me press each item twice. Then I realized I had to do alt-shift-1 after doing alt-shift-2 to get both of them. it didn't let me use the analog though for up/down/left/right

[Lordmonkus]

Remember you can edit the .cfg file for settings as well.

For analog controls you need to enable it with the command parameter or in the cfg.

;Input device for Virtual Port 1
ss.input.port1 3dpad

You will have to do the button assignment again for it though.

[ckp]

Hmm, after doing that my controller doesn't work at all. I did do the alt-shift-1 steps again.

[Lordmonkus]

-ss.scanlines 40 -ss.special nn2x -ss.stretch aspect_int -video.driver opengl -video.glvsync 0 -video.blit_timesync 0 -ss.input.port1 3dpad -cd.image_memcache 1 -ss.cart auto

There is my command line parameters I use in Launchbox if you want to try it. Obviously you can change some things to suit your needs but the "-ss.input.port1 3dpad" enables the analog controls and then you will have to the alt shift 1 binding.

i don't see these options on the mednafen saturn settings page.

i tried your command but the game screen was tiny and i didn't like scan lines, but thanks for letting me try!

so far i like this one suggested on the first page of this thread, but i added your last couple settings too:

-ss.stretch 0 -ss.xscalefs 5 -ss.yscalefs 5 -cd.image_memcache 1 -ss.cart auto

for them 3dpad, i'm not sure why it rendered my xbox360 dead. i was able to press everything in the player 1 setup for it.

so i had to set the controller back to just using dpad. i may try again later because i prefer using the analog joystick

[Lordmonkus]

-video.driver opengl -video.glvsync 0 -video.blit_timesync 0 Aren't Saturn specific, they are general Mednafen settings.

Were you able to rebind all your buttons including the analog stick ?

yes it made me press twice for everything.

when it got to dpad i pressed the dpad directions. when it got to analog, i used the left analog stick directions. but not even any buttons, stick or dpad worked after it said done.

what do these do? and does it not use OpenGL by default for saturn?

[Lordmonkus]

Those settings turn off v-sync and reduce input lag. I don't know if the stand alone Mednafen uses OpenGL by default or not and this was just what I set mine up with when I set it up by reading the documentation that came with the emulator.

[ckp]

can you set keyboard AND xbox360 controller to work?

Ok so now that you have the dpad and analog stick bound, when you load a game you press the button you bound to "Mode" and it toggles the controls between the dpad and analog. You will see a + and o at the bottom of the screen indicating which is the active control method.

i tried pressing Mode (my Back button) but neither dpad nor stick did anything. neither did start or any buttons. so i put my original cfg back before i made the 3dpad change

did you watch @SIMPLY AUSTIN's video guide??

i just did and that is exactly how i set it up. but no controller love. doing this renders it dead.

looking for some setting to try to make the graphics look less grainy. saber was terrible. don't really see a difference with scale3x

anyone have settings to share that you think looks good (not with scan lines) on 1080p?
