It's been various places over the years.

Obviously, I started by just buying original games that I was interested in.
Then, I used to download a few here and there from SegaXtreme's old FTPs
Then, I used to trade individual CDs through the mail via connections at CDROM-Guide and BST-Secure
Then I rounded out my collection on DirectConnect and Saturn Torrents
Then I traded ISO DVDs with a few people here and there.

It's just been a gradual accumulation process

Cassini is supposed to be some hard core illegal bootleg, i read. The note said it was an origanl emulater released by sega , but some one else had other plans for it. The note attached to the download button said grab it while you can. I swiped mine at

Zophar.net

and had to search the stinking perverted back allyes of the internet just to find sega ios-b-ay. :wink:

It was horrible, it was like something out of 8mm.

As far as I knew, GiriGiri was the one that was obtained by Sega, used commercially, and then hacked. Is Cassini based off of GiriGiri?

Yeah, they package GiriGiri with the saturn USB pads in Japan. I have nver had allot of luck with it though.

Im not sure. maybe i read it wrong. I get confused sometimes - when i dont take my meds.
I tried it out and could not get a thing out of it. Astal, shinobi, cotton and all there pals will all have to wait for a while.

Currently SSF is the best.

I made a Compatibility list for the USA releases. I'm working on the PAL exclusives before attempting the Japanese games.

You must have a 3Ghz (or 3000+) processor with SSE2 (required) to get decent frame rates.

welcome and thanks for the contribution!

I noticed you used CDs for testing.
Does it not boot ISO files on the hard drive?

I havent tested it yet but others say you can run a mounted ISO. I remember someone also claimed doing that fixes some the Audio sync/studdering problems I had with a few games.

I need to test that out once i get a chance.

Here is a good Forum for more info on Saturn Emulators:

I find it odd, frustrating and hilarious all simultaneously that I've had an easier time successfully emulating Dreamcast titles then I have Saturn ones. The explanation as to why completely escapes my grasp of logic.

Well, the saturn's multiple processors completely escaped the developers' grasp of logic as well. It's a complicated system. But with a high end system, SSF is becoming better and better lately. Guardian Heroes is PERFECT on my system. I just wish he'd add in some more scaling options. I just want a little filtering.
