Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB and the Sega Saturn

Amazing! I find mega.nz temperamental both on my PC and phone, quite often nothing happens when I click on links (and that is the case here). Eventually I will get in though, and I will try this then! Thank you very very much.
On Chrome and IE, I get this with Mega.nz. I get nothing on my phone browsers.

@quicksilver Works an absolute treat! Sound seems slightly on the quiet side in some games (Daytona for one), but compared to the stock emulators it is streets ahead. Nights Into Dreams is playable!
Thank you! Really, this is great. I don't understand why it isn't on RetroPie by default, the cores that are included are certainly no better!

because you are running an unaccepted fix - we're waiting for the lead developer to have a look into this issue. once it's resolved the core could be added.
-
@dankcushions Oh I see. Well, it seems to be running pretty well anyway, hopefully it will be available to people who don't have your help soon! Thanks again.
-
@quicksilver I have seen glitches with the emulator now. Alien Trilogy goes a bit mad sometimes, but usually comes back before too long. I also saw this on Slam 'n Jam 96. Most games have been perfect though.
Oh, and there are no sound effects in PowerSlave. Alien Trilogy really isn't playable, I've persisted with that a bit now. Slam 'n Jam is playable, despite seeing glitches occasionally.

Just wanted to say thanks to quicksilver for posting the script to get it running.
-
@Krakatoa I just reposted it. I claim no credit for the script or the shader fix. All credit to BuZz and anyone else that was involved in getting it working.
-
@quicksilver I've installed it thanks to your guide. Can't get games to start though.
Does anyone know the accepted format for the emu? Tried a few but no joy.
Also added some bios but that doesn't seem to work...
-
@Jste84 I've been using .bin and .cue, that has been fine. Maybe keep trying with the bios, possibly you've had duff ones.
-
@quicksilver Any idea on the missing Sound Effects on PowerSlave? Are there any settings that might make this work? I guess I could have a dodgy ROM, I am only assuming the fault is with the emulator here.
-
@AdamBeGood the emulator is far from perfect. In fact I have encountered issues with most games I tested. You can try enabling/disabling the HLE bios option in the retroarch quick menu. Sometimes it has a positive effect for some games.
-
@quicksilver Okay, cool. I'll try that out then. It is such a fast emulator though, games are so smooth (when they work).
-
@AdamBeGood was making a daft mistake in not renaming the bios. 😣
-
@Jste84 Easily done!
-
@quicksilver HLE Bios On makes Alien Trilogy much better, no glitching as yet. Still no sound effects on Powerslave though, but that is the only major issue I've got currently.
-
@AdamBeGood I tested with Castlevania SOTN and it's working, nice job!

Any benefit to playing it on Saturn vs the psx version?
-
@loula Really not my work, no need to thank me. @quicksilver is the guy here!
-
@quicksilver No, not really... I just have a PS Classic and feel that I should play the PSX stuff on that, so having it on Saturn means that I can play it on my Pi and don't have to plug the PSC in. Ridiculous I know.
It works fine now, some minor sound issues but it is good enough to play on. PowerSlave having no sound is the only issue I am really bothered with, I can cope with some major glitches, etc.
Edit: You are right, and I hear the PS1 version is better also. I am playing that now!
-
@quicksilver its giving me an error when trying to install them? it said they failed to apply?
