I appreciate it, I'm going to try that. Thank you so much.

It's still saying there are no disc 2 files. When I launch disc 2, it automatically creates these disc 2 files (highlighted--the non highlighted ones are my saves when prompted at the end of disc 1). When I delete these disc 2 saves and rename the Grandia ones to what the highlighted disc 2 saves are, it still doesn't detect them. What am I doing wrong?

I apologize for the difficulty.

Copy the full name including the checksum. So everything up to the .smpc, .bkr , and .bcr.

Thanks, I got it. I needed to rename all six files (GRANDIA and GRANDIA disc 1 of 2).

If this isnt the place to be posting this I'm sorry but I'm having some issues playing on real hardware. I've followed the instructions in the readme including extracting the data track with IsoBuster. I'm using Pseudo Saturn Kai on an action replay 4m plus. It's also worth mentioning I burnt the game at 8x (slowest speed my drive supports) on a taio yuden. The game seems to run fine and the translation is working but when I get in a battle none of the character or enemy sprites load in. It's just an empty battlefield. I tried the same patched game on an emulator and it seems 100% fine battles and all. Any one have any ideas?

It's likely the speed of your burner (or the burner itself) - not the media. I have good Ritek dye media that I use and I burn at 4X on a Pioneer DVDRW. If you can get an older burner that supports 1X then that's even better.

alright. buying an external cd drive from 2001 off ebay. i'll get back to you guys.

For a sanity check can you test a copy of the original unpatched Japanese game? It looks like only the VDP1 Frame buffer layer and RGB0 are showing, and everything else that's on NBG1 isn't showing.

Also, check if the issue is the pseudo saturn since it works on emulators. It should work with your console.
I burn my Grandia discs at 10x speed and never had a problem.

so a non patched game does the same thing on my Saturn. I dunno why I didn't think of that first. Must be Pseudo Saturn Kai I guess. I checked the compatability list but they only have Grandia ~Digital Museum~ and Grandia ~Prelude~ listed. Maybe I should just go the mod chip route. Can I region patch the game first then do the translation patch afterwards?

English patch first, then region patch and it should be ok.

Hello Trekkies, i found a little bug in my game. During the Sulfa Weed quest when you take white or red sulfa the text box is showing Sue face instead of Feena, also after the FMV when Feena talks about the Mist forest, her face picture is missing.

I'll look into it. If you can provide a save file for near that spot that would be really helpful.


Golecom said:


That actually looks to be normal behavior for the Saturn version:

I can look into it and see if I can do anything to improve it, but I make no promises.

Heyyy I follow you on Twitch! Sup dawg? Anyhoo, did you try JHL loading / trying to patch with Delta Patcher Lite instead of Delta Patcher? The game is very finicky. Hope burning at a slower speed does the trick for ya, I can't get past the title menu because of the 3in1 cart I have... shoulda held onto my old ARP!

It could also be something wrong with your Saturn. Try loading up some other games, both burned and legitimate (with and without the cartridge) and see if you see similar behavior.

I'm using SSF to play the game, do i need to convert the save in another format?

Hey man. The patcher probably wont matter cause I have the same issue even with a non patched game unfortunately. I tried JHL loading but the problem persists. I dunno for sure but i'm thinking its either my saturn doesnt like either of my cd burners, psk is causing issues or some kind of hardware failure with my saturn.


TrekkiesUnite118 said:


Could be the saturn or the cart not sure. It played a burnt copy of Guardian Heroes fine. I also played a real copy of Magical Drop 3 with no issues. When I tried a real copy of Biohazard it freezes alot. Freezes on the capcom logo fmv. When I got past that it froze when I chose my character as well. So not sure what the issue there is. The disc doesnt seem that bad. Just loading the capcom logo fmv took a long time as well. Magical Drop 3 and Biohazard I need the cart cause they are imports. The only game I can test with out the pseudo saturn kai cart is NiGHTS and that seemed to run perfectly fine. I have a real copy of Grandia coming in the mail so i'll test that as well.

thanks for every ones suggestions/help.

edit: I think it wasnt playing my Biohazard disc cause the lazer was dirty. I cleaned the lens and it runs fine now. Still no luck with Grandia though.

I can use SSF so that will be fine.


Jackafur said:


Try out Fighter's Megamix if you can. If NGB1 isn't working correctly you'll have a black background layer in the character select screen.

that seems to be working fine. the first burn I did refused to load but I did it on cheaper media cause I got kinda tired of making coasters out of the taio yudens lol. The taio yuden copy seems to load fine though.


edit: I'll get back to you all on this once I have a cd burner that burns at 4x, the mod chip and my legit copy of Grandia. probably be a few weeks though.

Here are my saves, the first is after the battle but before seeing the FMV. The second is before getting the Sulfa Weed.
