Um, what? Are you against online ordering or something?

Yea, let me know. I'll also give it a test as well with those games.


The most recent version I can find is actually from 2011, http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~phantasy/ssf/index.html

Where did you find a newer version? ]]> Best console for emulating Sega Saturn? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=98339 2013-03-27T16:41:57 -05.00 TobyManhattan 34 Originally posted by: SamSpade

The saturn is one of my personal favorite consoles. People want to bash the hell out of it but really, the best games never made it to our shores. If you enjoy classic games (especially shmups and fighters) you really do owe it to yourself to go check out the awesome Japanese library be it through emulation or buying the physical copies. It's well worth your time, the console and an action replay shouldn't run you much more than 75 bucks. While alot of the really good games command a high price, many of them do not, and even with the prices, you don't see the crazy price fluctuations like on other consoles people collect for. I'm definitely meaning to, but Saturn consoles just aren't plentiful up here in Canada from what I can tell.  I didn't even hear about them as a kid, never saw a commercial or anything.

I've only seen one listed on Kijiji near me in the past year and a half and the seller wants $80 for the console plus some other crazy amount for the Action Reply carts.  I think it was $160 for the bundle with a few junk games.

I think this is one I'm just going to have to skip or wait until I get lucky.

Have you tried the latest build?

I'll give it a try when I get home (at work now)

I've tested out Tomb Raider, Sim City 2000, and Shining Force III, and everything seemed to be playing rather well, nearly perfect. The latest build is from December 25, 2012, so you may want to give it another shot.

  I was playing Dragon Force and Dragon Force II. Those games were running slow. It's unfortunate because I can't play the English patched DF II on actual hardware without a mod.

I checked out this emulator called SSF for Sega Saturn, and it works great. The downfall is you need DirectX 9.0c installed, and it's kind of a pain to work, plus you need a pretty hardcore processor.

Also, you can only play games from a CD/DVD/Bluray drive. You can use your physical copies, or you need to use something like daemon tools to mount the ISO/CUE file.

While I admittedly don't have the worlds fastest PC. SSF was running games WAAAY offspeed last time I tried it (about a year ago). Sound is wrong, graphical glitches are heavy. While it CAN play Saturn games, it's a long ways off of using the actual hardware.
