Keep up the great work FaustWolf this is getting more interesting every day :thumbsup: Shame we can't burn this to a disc and play it on the actual Saturn.
(Uh...can we?)
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you'll need a modded system to play this on if you don't want to use an emulator. You can use the Swap Trick but if you do it too much I think it will cause damage to your system. |

Wicked happy for you, glad you got (not to jinx it) the real hardware problem fixed, and gave me a laugh in the process. Best of luck to you.

Mwahaha, thanks Cowboy. There's still one hurdle to jump, and that's disabling a dictionary decompression routine for the storyline text when we get to that point. I've done it successfully for purposes of the emulators, but we haven't done a real hardware test on that exact point yet. Keeping fingers crossed.
Honestly...as notoriously complex and difficult to emulate as the Saturn is, I'd totally recommend Saturn modding as a good starting place for beginners who want to get into assembly and so on. The author of Yabause has got the system's basic RAM arrangement documented to a tee, the SH2 language doc is available right from the manufacturer, and Yabause is just super user-friendly, even if it's nowhere near as full-featured as Geiger's SNES9x debugger (and probably the PSX debuggers from what little I've seen of them). This has been way smoother sailing than I had hoped for. Which is to say, it seems easier to get lucky when you're Saturn modding than when you're modding on other systems. :laugh:

I bought my Saturn a decade+ ago in a store, so yeah, I'd rather not risk it on a swap trick.  I'll hope I can get a good emulator running. |

My saturn is 10 years old as well. Been doing the swap trick since 2004 on a regular basis and she's running fine.

The swap trick doesn't hurt the saturn like it does the ps1, because the second you apply any pressure to the spinning disc the motor cuts out. Whereas on the ps1 is tries to keep going and ends up wearing it out fast.

Ever get anyone to try it out on a emulator yet? I'd be game to give it a go.

Yup, it's been played on real hardware and on SSF, which is the only emulator that can play it fully (and even then, only on certain settings).
Saturnman, head on over to Verve Fanworks and we'll hook you up with what you need.

That is awesome then. Don't mind tweaking a emulators options to get it to play something. Lord knows I done it enough with the Dreamcast and the Wii ones enough. lol

Saturnman, I think I sent you a PM over at Verve. Either that or it's someone whose username says that they're you. It's happened before.  Looks like there'll be a delay, as Sixfortyfive just found us again and feels inspired to tackle script quality issues. We totally welcome more feedback, even in general terms, from the wider translation community on this if anyone sees fit to give advice. I think the issues Six points out will sound very familiar to experienced translation teams. It would be interesting to see different philosophies on this too. We still need re-dump everything that's been inserted so far for quick perusal, but our collection of preview videos should provide a quick impression of how the script is shaping up currently. |
