			I heard that there are two different versions of Soukyugurentai. The original release that had graphical errors when played on a US Saturn and a second release that did not. How do I know which version I have? What are the errors like?

		it290		Nov 21, 2003
			I believe it's gibberish and characters all over the screen in the first version.. there was a thread about this awhile back, but I can't remember who posted it. Also, IIRC, if your copy came with a Battle Garegga demo, then it's the 2nd version.

			Here's a solution ... If your game looks like this then you have Soukyug... If it doesn't, then you have Soukyugurentai Otokuyou. If you have a US saturn, you can find out the errors yourself using various methods. I don't know which one has the errors, but like it290 says, you may find out from the older threads. :thumbs-up:

			errrr... if the original Souky worked fine except on US Saturns, why would Sega/whoever made the game be bothered to correct it and release a new version? You're not supposed to be importing games, right?

			I was thinking the same thing... :huh

		CrazyGoon		Nov 21, 2003
			I don't think it's a re-release. There is Soukyugurentai and then there's Soukyugurentai Otokuyou I haven't really looked into it apart from the covers though.

			The error might have manifested itself on some later BIOS revision, or on Saturns not built by Sega, or with certain peripherals plugged in.

		racketboy		Nov 21, 2003
			well I have a burner copy, so the cover isn't gonna help. The menus are all in Japanese, so I don't know if I have the BG demo or not. I did notice some characters on the screen that seemed out of place, so it's probably not the "good" version. Is the Otokuyou version harder to find in certain places? ( )

		antime		Nov 21, 2003
			Play through the first level or so, if you have the buggy version you will know by then.

			I got to the 2nd boss. it wasn't TOO bad

			Interestingly enough it says it supports the multitap: Hardware indentifier : SEGA SEGASATURN Maker ID : SEGA TP T-106 Product No : T-10616G Version : V2.000 Release Date : 19970128 Device infomation : CD-1/1 Area Symbols : U Compatible Peripherals : JAET Game Title : SOUKYU GURENTAI Patching D:\Saturn\TERRAD~1.(JA\TERRAD~1.ISO If this is correct press enter. Any other key to cancel T being the multitap. I'm assuming it's a typo (unless there's a super secret hidden multiplayer game in there somewhere :banana).

		antime		Nov 21, 2003
			Could also just mean that the game will work correctly if you play using a pad plugged into a multitap.

			I play Soukyugurentai Otokuyou on my modded US Saturns and it works perfectly.

			rack, I was going to add what stephen just added, I have a copy as well, and when I played it on my pre-modded saturn, I got the jibberish, however since I modded my system, the jibberish has pretty much gone away, hope this helps. :cheers

			I know that Soukyugurentai is aka as "Terra Diver" I am wondering if it was released as "Terra Diver" over here in the US? If not ... What is the reason for the english translation of the name?

		AntiPasta		Nov 24, 2003
			it was in US arcades on the ST-V system if I remember correctly.

		Jaded God		Nov 24, 2003
			Yea I just got this game "Terra Diver" and I can see the graphical glitches... The Kanji is everywhere when you encounter the bosses in each level and after you beat them.
