These forums are getting whacky. Here is my thing.  The game takes awhile to load. You can see the # of files left to load at the top. I forget the controls exactly, I think A jumps, right bumper jets, and left bumper slides? X turns camera left, Z turns camera right, Y turns camera up, B turns camera down press START to reset your position the while marble podium is the gate back to level 0. (Oops! I left debug text on the screen!) All the assets were very _very_ rushed (all made after Dec 22nd), but the code is cumulative work. Sadly I did not have enough time (literally cutting it to the last minute here) to get better sounds for the season. Sorry! Hopefully it doesn't crash! Game will not behave well if it slows down either. Sadly did not test on real HW, don't know how reliable it is. [EDIT] Already 6 minutes. Here's a correction of the oopsie: removed the debug text. This also has the bin and cue.... /e: **would've thought this goes without saying, but the approved emulators are SSF and Mednafen** **Yabause and its forks crash, Bizhawk does not work properly either** /e2: I don't feel great pushing patches so quickly like this, especially after what Emerald Nova went through to get done what he did. All the same, the game was fundamentally broken in two ways -- ways that disrupted the functionality of other person's work, as well. The first is I had done memory allocations that I had not tested on real hardware, which caused the game to outright crash. The second is I had done updates / changes to the M68K driver which I had not tested on real hardware, which have broken it on real hardware. I have grabbed a rolled back version and will be pushing it to GitHub very soon. Finally I'd like to say that I have made changes to the game to ensure the performance is up to par. I had time to test on real hardware, so I did, and discovered that the game simply was not up to my standards. I reduced the map texture resolution from 32x32 to 24x24 and simplified a couple models. I am deeply sorry if anyone tried to play the game as originally published. Not only that, but I forgot to add the credits! Forgot to mention : To use a level gate, you need to have at least 16 points on the board. Going through both wreaths in the time limit gets you 14 points on the board. The points are in hex, and a gift gives you one point, so that'd be 22 gifts. Updated code (bugs and all) now available on github: ponut64/stuff... | ||||

What first started as a port of ndiddy's code base from SBL to Yaul, ended up as a new-ish game with major changes to the code base. Sound may not work on real hardware. If the game does not work on real hardware, please run via Mednafen. Original code base: shicky256/saturndevsbl...   | ||||

I feel like a dolt, I thought I had till the end of the day to submit my mostly done FireProS translation :/ No chance to win with Grandia, Dracula X, etc done anyway <3 | ||||

| Definitely submit it. It isn't about winning anyway, it is about showcasing our love for the Saturn. | ||||

| Yeah, the more the merrier. But I think it's pretty obvious that the FDD operator translation patch will win that category. Nothing else can compete with that! | ||||

Fire Pro S : 6 Men Scramble mostly English Translation! FirePro S Translation Project - Google Drive... <-- CLICKABLE LINK ^bin and cue in there, along with the files you can inject into the Japanese ISO if you prefer. All the wrestlers and reds are done, all the primary menus, all the CAW parts, infact almost all the Create a Wreslter is done besides the moves and AI screens. Slinga was a huge help in getting the wrestlers renamed, even made a save injector for the game.   | ||||

Hey guys, TraynoCo here. Wow! All these submissions were fantastic! All the original games have some amazing potential, and the translation patches blew me away! It was super difficult to judge these, as I loved them for all different reasons. I tried to base the ranking off a combination of potential, execution, and entertainment level. That being said, here is my ranking for the 26th anniversary game competition: Original Game Section (worst to best): Test - vbt Final Fantasy - TrekkiesUnite118 Kriss Mingle - Cobradile Sickle - Ervilsoft Tank Game - SuperReye Seniriu - Emerald Nova Heroic-Vania - mrkotfw Flicky's Flock - slinga Sonic Z-Treme Metal Sonic - XL2 Wolfenstein 3D - vbt Final Burn Neo - vbt Cyberblock Metal Orange - ndiddy Pony Game - Ponut64 Hellslave - XL2 Cube Cat - 7shades Hacks, Patches, and Translations (Worst to best): Floppy Disc Drive Operator - TrekkiesUnite118 Save Game Copier - slinga Fire Pro S _ 6 Men Scramble - malenko Grandia - TrekkiesUnite118 Lunar Silver Star Story Dub Edition - klarth Dracula X (Symphony of the Night) - Knight0fDragon Please keep up the work guys! All of these were fun to play for one reason or another, and I'm excited to play more of them! I will be putting up a video for both the Original and Hacks, Patches, and Translations section to showcase on our YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfTSQ67HNTG7ENRNU... | ||||

Hello! I recently uploaded a video with my review of the games. Overall, I was extremely impressed. It's difficult to rank these since I want each and every one of you to thrive and continue producing these excellent homebrew games and translations. Thank you for expanding the Saturn library, growing the community, and unlocking the hardware's true capabilities. Please keep it up.
First to last: 1: Hellslave - XL2 2: Cube Cat - 7shades 3: Pony Game - Ponut64 4: Sonic Z-Treme Metal Sonic - XL2 5: Tank Game - SuperReye 6: Wolfenstein 3D - vbt 7: Final Burn Neo - vbt 8: Cyberblock Metal Orange - ndiddy 9: Sickle - Ervilsoft 10: Flicky's Flock - slinga 11: Seniriu - Emerald Nova 12: Kriss Mingle - Cobradilew 13: Heroic-Vania - mrkotf 14: Final Fantasy - TrekkiesUnite118 15: Test - vbt 1: Grandia - TrekkiesUnite118 2: Dracula X (Symphony of the Night) - Knight0fDragon 3: Lunar Silver Star Story Dub Edition - klarth 4: Fire Pro S _ 6 Men Scramble - malenko 5: Save Game Copier - slinga 6: Floppy Disc Drive Operator - TrekkiesUnite118 The translations in particular all deserve number one. This type of work is admirable, and key to expanding the library to westerners. You are all killing it. Please continue this invaluable work. Tools were also tough to rank, since again, they are extremely valuable even though few people own the hardware it supports. Without software like this, obscure hardware dies. Please do not take this ranking as "last place is bad." You are all doing awesome stuff. EmeraldNova, thanks again for including me in the judge panel. I would love to do the same next year if you would like. | ||||
