32X, Sega CD and Saturn

slasher · Post by **slasher** » Wed Mar 13, 2002 7:39 am

I saw Atani has almost broken through to get the Sega CD fully ported over and is just starting work on the 32X. So how far in the future can the Saturn be if we can play 32X/CD games like Corpse Killer for example? It does sound possible.

well the problem still remains is that the saturn had multi processors... emulating that is not an easy task.....

There isnt even a new version of DCGen yet so i wouldnt bet on there being none of 32x, sega CD of saturn anytime soon at all.

By mega emu cd, i think you may refering to demomenu. Last i heard, consolevision was back up, so cruise over there and pick it up along with the boot kit for it. The boot kit can be easily used as a general purpose self boot tool.

Demo menu basically brings up a lil menu with a list of all your files on it. You gotta rename all your 1st read bins to a name you'll recognize, and when you load up the program, click on the emulator and it's load. The roms can go on the same cd too, so all your stuff is on one cd.

6th form? Ohh yeah. grade.......... I'm in 6th grade/form , but all we have are stupid macs, so I can't do anything good on them, and they have special software to not let us use programs other then the ones already installed

[quote="fatheadpi"]By mega emu cd, i think you may refering to demomenu.quote] No, he means a Mega-CD emu (Sega-CD emu to us in the states) it's the cd add on for genesis/megadrive.

I'm pretty sure we won't see a 32X emu any time soon because i can't even get a full speed 32x emu on my 450MHZ pc...

Sir Slash · Post by **Sir Slash** » Mon Mar 18, 2002 9:27 pm

the 32x isn't really that sought after cause it has such a small amount of games. Yes i would like to see it...but there isn't enough people out there that think that.

fatheadpi · Post by **fatheadpi** » Tue Mar 19, 2002 1:42 am

Oh right a sega cd emulator my bad.

I would expect a new dc gen soon wih some killer updates, but that's just me, not really informed, just from readin posts.

I believe sega cd emulation is possible, be almost like a boot disc in final form i'd bet.

We'll prolly see some attempt at 32x / saturn emulation this summer.

is 32X emulation on the PC quite slow due to it being hard to emulate or just the lack of interest in the console?

Arctic Feather

btw i'll be in 6th form next year too

so i'll be doing my A/S computing in lower 6th next year too

fatheadpi · Post by **fatheadpi** » Tue Mar 19, 2002 12:37 pm

Yeah that's what katana said, and I agree with him.

It's kinda both... You have to keep all the systems in sync for one, and people don't really like the 32x either. Though some cool games did come out for it and they look VERY nice. You can see that Sega liked shoving the scale and rotate functions in Nintendos face because they are EVERYWHERE in Knuckles Chaotix.. or at least i think they are. Personally, I think it makes the game look all grainey and crappy when you do that, but that's just me.

This summer? That seems kinda early.. but personally i'd think it would be AWSOME to be able to play legit segacd/saturn games in a dreamcast. The DC could be like a Sega all-in-wonder.

I agree about the scaling/rotation effects. They looked SOOO stuck in. Especially on the Sega/Mega CD bios, the flying logos everywhere.
