Well Ultimate MK was on the snes and the trilogy just game out on Halloween in 96 so I'm guessing it wouldn't make sense to have them both. MK Trilogy was released on the Saturn almost a year later in 97.

So I'm thinking about selling my copies of EAR and Radiant Silvergun, and not on ebay. I wanted to let you guys know first if anyone was interested.
What's EAR? And I may interested in Silvergun. PM ME please.

Elevator Action Returns, I'm just not playing the thing.
I'd be interested in EAR

I've always wanted a copy of RS, but it depends. Yeah, I'm interested though.

LowScoreBoy (who released that great Saturn transparency video a while back) has a new video about Saturn's video codecs.

Awesome, thanks for the info.
Am I going to need a memory card or is there some kind of built in memory?

There is built-in memory, but it's tied to a small battery that needs to be replaced every few months. Memory card is recommended for games that support it.

An AR will allow you to play different region games and back up your battery saves so I think that is a good investment. I have one being loaned to me atm by a friend till I can get my own and it's pretty neat and it allows me to play his copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga since I have a White Japanese system. (Great game btw.)

I have one of those old-school 4-in-1 action replays with the 25-pin port at the top. Is there any way to load Pseudo Saturn through that port?

The battery should last at least 2 years.
The system manual recommended replacing it once per year, but it doesn't have to be that frequent.

I believe there is. Lord of I know what it is though! Folks will sell you pre loaded A/R for about $30 though.

Yes, but only in a slipcase as noted a few pages back.
When you beat Christmas NiGHTS, you get to play a memory matching game for presents that unlock features. Once you've unlocked Sonic Into Dreams you can play through as Sonic.
It's a miserable experience because being on foot in that game feels terrible. It's your punishment for running out of time.

What's the quick n' dirty on Rheas? Worth checking out as an alternative to Pseudo Saturn?
According to the website:
So pretty much the greatest thing ever.
Only thing is I don't think it's compatible with Japanese Saturns, which is what I own. It needs to be a 20-pin model.
This "boot disc based console games off SD card" stuff really is the future and it blows me away. Saturn and Dreamcast is done, PS1 is just about ready. Could you imagine the day we are loading the complete PS2, or even Xbox 360, library off a giant SD card?

Ugh, I really wish I had the money to buy it, would be nice to have my Saturn games like that. That and the GDEmu.

I wonder if it'll ever go mass market like Everdrive. I don't like the idea of ultra-limited runs either.

Been enjoying some Street Fighter Zero 1 and 2 lately for the Saturn, I really enjoy these games even though I suck at them! I've also played SF Zero 3 Max on the Vita, but man I find it way harder and just cant complete it!
Bought the games off ebay:

You figure it has to happen someday, right? Maybe when the costs of production decrease and demand increases. This pretty much is as close as we're going to get to an Everdrive for these disc based consoles.
I'm one of those weirdos who prefer Zero 2 over Zero 3.

I'm a SF newbie, but I join you on this, I really like Zero 2!

Love the disc art for Zero 2. Does it have the US version's art gallery? The only thing it has over the PS2 Anthology.

Alpha 3 is the most ridiculous and therefore best Street Fighter.
When an SF game starts off the round with full super meter, you just know that it has to endorse savagery.

A3 has such a great and cohesive aesthetic from the UI to the stages to the announcer.

Is there any decent comparison of Dreamcast Alpha 3 vs Saturn Zero 3? Trying to decide if I want to spend the coin on the Saturn version.

I own both, so I could probably whip something up this weekend.
ResidentDante

I would love this too! Youtube mainly has comparisons between Saturn and PS1.
Alpha 3 Max is also available for PSP/Vita, there's also a Alpha Anthology very reasonably priced on PS2. Which supports 60Hz even on the PAL version and progressive scan at 480p.

I own AA on PS2 as well, but it doesn't support 240p like the DC and SS A3.
from what i remember the PS2 aspect ratio was corrected compared to the "fat looking" SS version tho.

Karin keeps it classy, though. (I'm also fond of the Ohohoho trope, which helps.)
