I basically have Galatic attack, and what ever I can steal from friends who have better SHMUP collections.
You know, I NEVER saw February's Year of Saturn thread, so I never hyped it on Twitter. I'd feel weird suddenly hyping March's all of a sudden. I'll just come up with an excuse, but I hope the March thread doesn't get buried to oblivion too! 
As for Shmups, I just have Dodonpachi and Cotton Boomerang. Guess I can finally use this 2nd PVM for TATE purposes and play DDP like that for the first time ever!

Is there any reason neither Darius Gaiden nor Galactic Attack/Layer Section save your scores?

Darius Gaiden doesn't save your scores because it doesn't support saving, but Galactic Attack does save your top scores. Or at least the US version does for sure, that's the one I have.

We are still in February, quick!
Now seriously I need to sit down with Daytona again.

My JAP white Saturn arrived in the post today from Japan, no import duties, no yellowing, no cables or controller, works great, £35, bargain! the only problem is it wouldn't sync when connected to my Plasma, weird as my now faulty PAL Saturn with 50/60hz switch worked fine, anyway some pics
Also had this slotted in the back of it

I FOUND PANZER DRAGOON RPG FOR 1,200 YEN!!!! (.....$12 Give or take)
Danny Dudekisser
I paid good money for this Dynex!
ChaseHQ was one of the games VING ported over to Saturn, right? Pretty sure none of those are particularly cheap.

Azel? The Japanese versions does not cost as much as the western releases.

Yeah, same goes for most, if not all Saturn RPGs. JP versions are way cheaper.
sounds about right

Lucked out b/c all the other game store places I went to didn't have it and amazon.jp had it for 55 bucks.
Also got Marvel vs. street fighter and Fatal Fury Special. Both came with RAM carts.

I paid about £60 for it in 2001 on ebay, probably cheaper now though.
It also has the sequel on the disc.

The PAL Saturn has 9v on the 9th AV port pin. NTSC Saturn have composite sync on that pin. This is why your Saturn isn't working on the plasma properly.

Both my NTSC machines have this mod, it's a real easy one.

Yeesh, have prices gone up that much? Azel is not a rare game at all.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know the ntsc consoles were wired slightly differently to the pal consoles, but it works fine on my crt?
I'll be feeding it into a xrgb mini when it arrives so hopefully it will work through that ok on the plasma
speedlolita
Member
As I say, it's only a single pin difference. On my own CRT I experienced a less than favorable image before the mod. Afterwards it was pin sharp.
The XRGB doesn't care about that pin either way so it will work perfectly.

Chase HQ looks so clean and good on the Saturn, judging by the screens posted here at least.

You can get Saturn Chase HQ + S.C.I. for $25 to $50, so he's absolutely right.

I want to say yes, but I can't say as I was looking for it at this time, no.

It does look pretty much arcade perfect, the only thing I don't like about it is the japanese voices and the fact it doesn't work very well with the analog pad(you have to use the d pad to switch gears and can't use the triggers for brake/accelerate)
Thanks for the info: appreciated.
Had a look for Daruis 2 on ebay, PAL copies were at least £50!
Anyways here are some linked thumbnail pics I took the other day on my CRT for anyone who's interested.

I agree, but it's a shame the aspect ratio's all fucked up in the Saturn version.
Chase HQ was on Saturn? I had no idea :/
What game is this? It looks familiar, but I can't place it.
IrishNinja
Member
looks like the Sega Ages of Power Drift, which i've yet to find for cheap

Is there a 360-compatible Saturn controller? I think SFIV AE at Evo will be on 360s, and my Saturn USB doesn't work. I think the Capcom versions are crap.
Power Drift, that's what I was trying to think of!

I don't know what you mean?

shit yeah, who's getting that party started? i'm pretty tired but do maybe do a write-up if we don't have someone better/smarter about SHMUPs on hand

Salamander Deluxe Pack is just plain better on PS1.
Saturn isn't capable of outputting the same 256x224 resolution as the arcade version of Salamder does (but Playstation can).
So your options are an inelegant non-native scaled version that stretches the 256x224 image to 320x240 and looks ultra jaggy or a 1:1 pixel mapped version that leaves pillar boxes. While the latter doesn't sound too bad, and honestly looks much better, nothing in the 1:1 pixel mapped version will appear drawn correctly (circles will be oblong, etc.) when viewing on a standard 4:3 monitor as intended, because the aspect ratio is incorrect.
