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

I can definitely understand not liking the voices. I wouldn’t mind playing the undub version but since this is my first playthrough I need to understand the story.

Yeah working designs voice acting was universally terrible, but these things were shoestring budget and thin margins back in the day I imagine.

A niche of a niche.

Speaking of Saturn I got lucky and picked these up at my local Disc Replay. Been wanting to play both of these after listening to developer interviews on the Sega Saturn Shiro podcast and Pandemonium reviews. Prices were too good to pass up.

Disc Replay sadly isn’t in my state.

We only got one here in IL a few years ago. Good prices, but its a real crapshoot as to whether they have good stuff sometimes.

Been playing a lot of Daytona

Man this soundtrack is amazing

I have that PSU in my JPN Saturn, I can tell you it’s fine, easy to install, I’ve had no problems with it.

That’s good. A good thing about it is the J3 pins on the board output the 3.3v, 5v, 9v & 12v & you get a connector with cable that you can plug into it so it gives you all the voltages you could ever need for any mods etc.

I’ve barely played the game but the OST, as you said, is amazing!

You need to check out the Takenobu Mitsuyoshi video @DaveLong posted in the YouTube Doc thread.

Oh nice!

I think I’m just going to start off with a recap and a phantom mod chip. I’m in the order queue for a Satiator but I’m not sure if I want to spend that much.

Sorry for the double post but can anyone recommend the best way to go for a RAM cart? there’s a few out there and I’m not really sure which way to go.

These guys are super common and work well. They have 4MB RAM as well as region unlocking. They can be used as save storage, and they can also do cheat codes.

I use this one and it works perfectly. Allowing you to play imports is a huge bonus too.

Just keep in mind that some SNK games that needs the 1MB RAM cart have glitches when using the AR+.

If those games are in your wishlist, I recommend carts that have a switch to change the 4MB and 1MB modes (like the HK Pseudo Saturn cart).

Thanks! - I can see they’re available everywhere. Is there a recommended place to pick them up?

Hm, eBay or Aliexpress I guess? Build quality should be the same.

Did anyone pick up a Satiator? I was in the Patreon queue and I ended up taking the plunge. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.
