sega has emulated the sega saturn but won't share
It seems someone else got filtering.
Welcome to the club 
Anyway, Grandia won't run, no way. I believe the emulator can emulate the game itself without major bugs (unless it get's screwed with that trick they used to make the sound DSP calculate polygons... and it might get seriously screwed, since Burning Rangers is a polygon mess, and I think they used the same trick in it), but it seems to lack to emulate some stream modes used by some games' FMVs. As example, you can see Grandia's title screen if you mash the start buttom to skip the first FMV, but the game will lock up if you let it reach it. Since you can't skip the first intro when starting a new game, you can't get into the game.
The same happens with a few other games I have, that have obligatory FMVs.
We'll have to sit and wait until newer versions of this are released and hacked. After all, the emulator comes packed with each game at Cyberdisc, so one only needs to wait for new games to be made avaliable, rent them, and rip the emulator out.
BTW, did anyone take a look at Sega BB lcub site? They ahve all Shining Force 3 game in their "coming soon" area. Scenario 3 will be a hell of a download...
BTW, all SF3 games runs darn good, with only minor flaws. The transparency mode used by the game isn't emulated, so all spell effects have their transparencies disabled, and that circle that surrounds the characters during spells have a weird tiling artifact. I think they'll try to fix those before officialy releasing the games. |
