Sega Saturn |OT| - Playin' Saturn each day keeps Segata away!

Looks like there’s also a KDL-20S2000 going from this manual: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/res/manuals/2685/26853336M.pdf

But the same manual is used for all three versions so there could just be minor differences - there’s no differences between models listed for ports (page 30) or specifications (page 32)

I got the 20S2020 in mid-2007 so I guess it depends on when the 20S2030 released - a techradar review is dated early 2008 so it might be a more recent revision.

A quick comparison of the three specs pages shows the only difference is colour:

2020 is light silver
2030 is black
2000 is silver

If you are playing all the Panzer series on the Saturn. Saga even it was released almost at the end of the Saturn’s life chronologically the story is the first.

Music is absolutely fantastic on there I just wished they had the budget and time to add optional rare monsters etc…

It’s a very old 720p model Polaroid. (46" Polaroid Model 4641-TLXB). I’ve had it since 2007. I thought about upgrading it but it has 2 component inputs, s-video, and VGA in. Most importantly it recognizes the DTV signal from the Dreamcast. It appears it’s identical in specs to harborlines_765’s Bravia.

I know this is a Saturn thread but the only other picture I seem to have is an AV famicom outputting composite to the FM on the Polaroid TV. I’ll replace it with a proper Saturn one later.

Nice! I still need to pick up Sexy Parodius. Actually I haven’t played the series yet - which would you recommend I check out first?

Any Parodius game is a good place to start

@Laevateinn Even the censored UK release :stuck_out_tongue:

I live in a glorious world where PAL doesn’t exist.

Incase people were wondering about the censoring, the American eagle got altered…

I just realised after all this time they didn’t translate the intro

Although they did for the megaphone

Picked these up today. The analog works nicely with Panzer Saga. I’m surprised how amazing the new Saturn controllers are,I really like the feel of the L and R buttons compared to my japanese ones. They also feel less loose than my og ones,if you shake the old ones the buttons rattle around alot more.

Sexy Parodius is my favorite, but I agree with @Laevateinn that any Parodius is a great palce to start. If you’re looking for a good value on the Saturn grab the Gokujou Parodius Da! Deluxe Pack. I’ve seen Japanese copies go for as little as $23.

Thanks, have ordered a copy on your recommendation!

I’ve always red that the Saturn makes real 2D as opposed to the PlayStation who can’t and recreate 2D games with 3D engines.
But in concrete terms what are the problems when playing 2D arcade conversions on PlayStation ? Independently of quality of each conversion, slowdown or loading, for exemple what will be the problem to play Street Fighter 2 on PlayStation instead of Saturn ? Input lag ?
Cause the Saturn conversions of CPS games miss a peace of image on each board, due to resolution (not the case on PlayStation).

You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy the wackiness that is the Parodius series.
