MSH has issues with 4MB RAM carts. It adds the extra animation frames, but also adds a ton of slowdown. 1MB carts allegedly don't have that issue.Marvel Super Heroes optionally support the 1MB cart, not the 4MB cart. (It should work with the 4MB cart, but it'll only use 1MB on it while running.) Pocket Fighter does optionally support the 4MB cart, though (4MB or no RAM cart only, no 1MB support).

Darn! And that goes for both collections? I was hoping the Saturn would be superior for obvious reasons. :/
Also is there any images or video that show how bad the stretching and slowdown is?
I believe I posted comparison pics a few months ago, maybe in January or December. The Saturn version is slightly too wide. The slowdown is most obvious on DeeJay's stage.
really, just buy the PS1 version. Or if you have deep pockets, the Dreamcast version is the way to go.
I'll probably roll with the Dreamcast one. I used to have a copy but sold it long ago. Thafs the Matching Service version, correct?
...Also bought Fighters Megamix for a fiver.
Good post.
When it comes to the tech... Saturn VF2 is a juggernaut, a gorgeous game, but it's 100% unlit. Both the characters and the arena are totally, fully bright at all times. Even VF1 used flat lighting. So FM is lower-resolution, but it actually does use more advanced lighting than arcade VF2 (I think arcade VF2 is flat lighting vs FM's Gouraud shading).
AM2 must have thought the advanced lighting approach looked better, or maybe they couldn't do VF2's high resolution while also doing the walled arenas so they halved the resolution and looked into what else they could do with the spare power?
Both versions of Capcom Generation 2 are messed up in weird ways though. In PS version of Daimakaimura, the gamma is all screwed up and you can't see the backgrounds. The gamma looks fine on the the Saturn version though. Since I'm more a fan of Daimakaimura than Choumakaimura (plays way too slow and you can't shoot up or down), I play the Saturn CG2 version a lot more.Probably. I know Capcom Generation 2 is more desirable on PS1 because the aspect ratio is correct for Choumakaimura.
That was a nice post! Can't wait to try it out.
EDIT: Also just placed an offer for a Japanese version of VF2. ^^
Once I get that version(as I used to own the Genesis version, lol) I would post direct feed screens of the game.Everyone with a Saturn should own VF2.
VF, FM, and FV are goat.
I need that game!!!LB always playin' second fiddle
That would be killer. what equipment do you use?Once I get that version(as I used to own the Genesis version, lol) I would post direct feed screens of the game.
Startech PEXHDCAP...it captures from every console.=pThat would be killer. what equipment do you use?
Beautiful!!here's me testing SSF 60fps VF2 webm shit with the ~secret slow-mo replays~

thanks, I'll look into this. I need a PS2 capture solution and having VGA in would be cool too.Startech PEXHDCAP...it captures from every console.=p
It does VGA as well, it's how I'm gonna capture Dreamcast playthroughs.=pthanks, I'll look into this. I need a PS2 capture solution and having VGA in would be cool too.
fine but inferior to the PS1 versions due to weird but minute stretching and some instances of slowdown not present in the PS1 version. I own both, and I like the Saturn port because of the Saturn pad, but given that it's both more expensive and inferior, it's hard to recommend.

Oh, well, I just checked your link and it's the one I have. I tested it on my Saturn with RGB and it worked perfectly with nothing wrong at all.Is that the one I linked to a few posts ago?
whaa really? this is news to meAlso Fighters Megamix was censored in the USA so maybe the japanese version is the one to get

Saturn VF2 is a game I hold very closely to my heart. It's probably my favorite Saturn game. I actually prefer it to the arcade version, just because it was a huge part of my childhood.
This transition still wows me:
Everyone with a Saturn should own VF2.
Virtua Fighter 2 was the game that sold me on the saturn. I remember buying the game and japanese console on import around 1996 for around £500.
Scans on some early reports.
Maximum UK mag scan VF2
Selling my Saturn a decade ago was one of the biggest gaming mistakes I ever made. If I get a new NTSC one is there a quality difference between the models?

Why the hell is getting harder and harder finding complete SS games (which I don't own yet) in Tokyo? >_<

Did Pepsiman have unique attacks, or was he just a reskinned version of another character? I'll probably pick up a JP copy of FV since its dirt cheap aregardless, but I am curious.
retrogaming is hotter than ever
so how many of you cool kids in here enjoy playing the chu chu rockets over broadband adapters
I would love to get Nanatsu kaze no shima monogatari but I don't understand Japanese at all. Contemplating spending 50€ for a game I will never play makes me feel terrible.
well, both Super Potato in Tokyo have less games than usual, for example Akihabara store always had 2 shelves entirely filled by SS games, and now it's just one; MD is in the same situation, 2 shelves but one of them is sadly empty...
Also a lot of Book-Off shops don't have SEGA games (SS and DC) as they had in the past
Instead of a "hot situation" I would call it as "lack of restock"
