I enjoy the janky port of vf and Daytona from launch. I owned them at the time so they have a sort of charm to me.
I forgot about Darius, I had that one back then too. Thanks

Probably a $2000 game complete in box these days.

This thread made me randomly check out eBay prices for some Saturn stuff. Holy hell. House of the Dead is like $200-150 now. Sega Ages is coming above $100? I feel like the prices have jumped lately, haha. Tempting to sell.
Wish I still had my Sega Sonic Toys R Us Sega Saturn. Damn, must be worth a pretty penny now.

Did not know that - only ever seen those horribly worn cardboard ones. Too bad they didn't do that from the start.

No, Saturn cases tend to have these little notches on the inside, as part of the plastic tray the discs normally go into. The indents in the sleeves are aligned with the notches in the case.

Sega used both, some are all black some mixed and some all white.
I know for certain the Waldensoftware I shopped to at the time only had copies of PDS. HOTD, and BR available to those who preordered it and none extra. I was told by the manager that Sega printed enough of those three to fulfill preorders. They never had any extra shipments of the three after the first printing.
What I DO regret is not getting he import copies of RS, XvsSF, Deep Fear, and those other Shooters WS and EB were selling. I did get the 3D controllers for $5 a pop though.

I almost bought radiant silvergun for $40 at eb games back when they sold imports.
I got metal gear solid instead. Probably a game and series I loved more in the end, but yeah, Saturn games were cheap for a while.

Interesting. Mixed is horrible. Black looks nicer than white.
Shouldn't be surprised though given that it's Sega - they've always been low rent but I still love my MD and SS.

PAL PDS had moebius hart on their shit though, yeah? way better

Pretty sure that's the JP version of PD1 you're thinking of.
Shit is rad though, yeah.

man I should really replay PDS again at some point.

for real? coulda sworn it was said on here a while back PAL did too...damn
fuck holding out for a fair price on Shining Force 3, just hit up hit-japan to see if i can get each JP scenario for $15-20 each and be done with it, let's see if it pans out. it'd be neat to just have the english burns in those cases & have the option halfway legit, i figure - and that pretty much takes out my A list retro wants so i got no excuse to spend again for a while
fuck i wonder if he's got Silhouette Mirage now
And they are the best, except for the terrible VHS sized EA boxes, I despise them.
Yep Sega should of, it's only a small % of games though, majority is the cardboard style cases.
You should, enjoying my play through so far.
Actually yeah, thats exactly how they look.like so
IrishNinja

...well, shit
looks like hit-japan took my offers on SF III scenarios 2 & 3, grabbing 1 & making an offer on Mirage just to bundle shipping & calling it a night, wish me luck! i gotta say, this is the way to go for me - i imported Saturn Bomberman & burned a copy of the US one to toss in there in case i ever wanted to see the extra stages/story (haha) and such. if i didn't already have the WD JRPG's i'd do the same, think i'm done paying $100+ for games even when these bills are paid off.
really gonna have to power through SF II and possibly CD now, no excuse not to see the proper series through...Holy Ark sometime too!

it's out of my actual budget, so likely 2,000-2,500yen
the problem is finding a store which sells it

Hey guys. Quick question, does the Japanese version of X-Men vs Street Fighter not have the back cover? I can't seem to find a complete version of it.
sixteen-bit

The standalone version has a back cover but the 4 MB ram cart combo pack doesn't.
Satakore is a great resource for questions like this. Here's a link to what the standalone version should look like:

I think it's the same for all - Metal Slug is that way as well - no back cover, no spine but reg card in the bundle.
The Broken Ska Record
Member
Cool. Seems the bundle with the 5MB cart is more common. I'll be grabbing the bundle even though I have the 4-in-1 cart.

Getting a HP Stream 7 delivered this week. I was wondering. I am a total noob with emulation.
What one's for the Sega Saturn are worth trying and do anyone have a handy guide to what to do with the roms etc? Have a Saturn but would love to play some games like Keios flying squadron which are so hard to find.

SSF has the best emulation on Windows. It's still flawed though, Saturn emulation isn't quite there yet. You need a separate software to mount CD images, or play with originals or burnt images in your drive.
Keio isn't hard to find, there are plenty of them on eBay all the time. It's bloody expensive now for some reason, even the Japanese edition that was really cheap just a few years ago. If you are goind into emulation to play expensive games, I would suggest you to have your console modded instead: it's really easy to do with a single soldeing point, and allows you to play the games the way they are meant to be played.

So I just got my Sega saturn. It's a japanese model so I am wondering if I can use any RGB scart cable for this? or is there a specific one that works for the Japanese models?
sixteen-bit
Member
Find a SCART cable designed specifically for NTSC (NA or JP) Saturns. I believe the pinout is different on the AV Multi-out for the PAL Saturn.

ok, So something like this? Reviews seem good.

From the description that sounds like the right cable.

Hope you have a backup cartridge
Not an AR4-in-1, an actual, save-directly-to-cart backup cartridge
I mean, I think you can save at certain points in Hexen without one, but otherwise the saves are too damn large for the internal battery backup

And just like that I've €18.50 less in the bank. I do not thank you, sixteen-bit.
And I still need to play the first one. Oh dear.
Oh snap, I need to find my copy.

They're working on it. There are a LOT more varieties than they planned on. Check the Verve MB, Faust will help you out.
