only /vr/ defends the Saturn, most people here have never even heard of it

I think it was a good system with its main problem is it did not have a ton of games
Nintendo had the same problem during the era

That CAN’T be real

It is. Sega hardware always had a hard time with transparencies so most developers just used a mesh pattern that in composite or coaxial gets interpolated into a transparency.

>playing Virtual On on Saturn when literally any other version exists
You'll be better off emulating the Model 2 hardware.

The dreamcast version was a fuckup

Was it? I only played the sequel on Dreamcast, it was pretty good.

Virtual On Oratorio Tangram is the best, followed by Force. Shane the best versions are Xbox 360 exclusive.

For some reason, Xbox has a monopoly on great SEGA sequels. Best Virtual On games, best version of Sonic the Fighters (the one with Honey the Cat), Jet Set Radio Future and so on. And all of that shit is basically lost now because we can't emulate the hardware.

Saturn had some hidden gems in its library, and it was a definitive weeb console.

Because it had lots of fun shmups and fighters.

Also quit shitposting /vr/ because you can't discuss the other sixth gen systems there, you autistic faggot.

????

Stockholm Syndrome that never went away. The Saturn was garbage. Even Virtua Fighter wasn’t arcade perfect. The promise of model 2 home versions was false; these “ports” were over a generation behind. The 3D hardware was trash. They also had that 32X add on before it came out. Totally clueless of what to do. Nomad portable. It was a bad time for Sega. Dreamcast was way way better. Way comfier. But it came out too close to the PS2 which was quite a bit better than it

>the saturn was garb-

My god I need to get a saturn.
an entire console dedicated to arcade and obscure weeb shit is just my thing

Some niggers keep starting fifth gen console wars on /vr/ once a week, my hunch is it's PS2fags butthurt over the rules.

Example:

your shit taste doesn't invalidate the saturn's library

/vr/ has been shit since this summer, which never ended

I think you have me confused for someone else my dude

>no one cares about the digits

The PC version is almost arcade-perfect and has extra colors + splitscreen and LAN play, plus the option to choose between normal control setup and pad-friendly controls.Someone modded it to run at full 60 FPS and not require the CD for running the game or playing the music. Only real downside is that you need to use joy2key to use a pad since the game's pad setup was designed for '97-era controllers. Screenshot is my own.

You could use some LAN emulator to play online right? Like Hamachi?

>Trying to start 5th gen wars
You people should kill yourselves all the consoles had good games then.

People don't defend the Saturn. Gods defend the Saturn. youtu.be/Wb7sN7axblc

It was rather successful in Japan, wasn't it?

transparency wasn't a big deal
actual issues were
>$399
>initial dev kits
and VO is decent on Saturn, but there's a bunch of weird changes to certain move properties and it feels like Temjin's bomb lasts for ages on Saturn

literally wrong opinion

It has Panzer Dragoon Saga and Shining Force 3
Both with 10/10 soundtracks
Also a ton of Awesome Treasure games

Absolutely. I wouldn't expect miracles from it since LAN is designed around having zero-to-no ping, but the PC version of VO will run on the most potato of potato computers at max settings and FPS these days.

It was. But Sega still considered it a bomb because. It did poorly everywhere else

I play Netlink over voip
You can chat over it too which is neat
Google also works on the netlink web browser over dreampi or dial up
Saturn was ahead of it's time

The more I think about the Saturn the more I feel bad about not hopping earlier. Last I heard, the prices for Jap games are getting buttfucked now that they've learned there's a niche for it overseas. It makes me sad because I really wanted to play Steamgear Mash.

man, I'm ridiculously tempted to get a netlink adapter so I can play VO1 online
I've got a netlink copy of the game.

at this point, you might as well just burn games

it's only 40 or less bucks
try finding some of the titles like ninpen or pyschic killer tarumaro(which was made by the guy who did ikaruga and some treasure team worked on as well)

it has a lot of good games but most are jap only
also better fighting game ports than playstation as a bonus

You'll need a voip adapter or a analog phone jack in your house
For browsing the web, a dreampi setup (dreampi software and a raspberry pi)
The community is small but loyal. I'm one of them. voip is a tad bit laggy though. hopefully a fix in the future to get it 99% to as close as the call to call analog function does.

If anything I'd get a Japanese copy of Oratan on Dreamcast or something. That had netplay but it was stripped from the US release since it was never implemented over here.

Both versions have splitscreen, which they removed from the XBLA port for some godforsaken reason. Shame too, because XBLA is kind of the definitive version otherwise. Configurable controls, full color customization, latest gameplay patch with all additional characters, replay saving, online play, etc.

>thread made me remember how i installed a DC emulator to play Virtual-On
>also made me remember how I have no idea how to run games on it
fuck, why cant all emulators be as easy as gba/psp?

My friend had a Saturn growing up, and I don't remember him ever playing it.
I think it was ultimately a failure. I mean, obviously. It was the PSVita of its time.
Those graphics are endearing though.
If I was older at the time, I might have checked it out, but I highly doubt I would have purchased it.

I dont know

I've wanted to get one for a while now but it's too expensive to invest in

Dreamcast is such a nightmare to emulate. It's crazy that my laptop can run GCN/Wii games at consistent 60fps while Oratan runs at 30 with audio problems on a good day.

The system isn't the expensive part it's the damn games.
I recommend a phantom modchip from assemblergames or Obscuregamers
They are very high quality and have low faliure rates
Also some dude is making a vcd sd card loader. very cool beans

Why is /vr/ such a shit board? Why can't you stay there?

Why is the grass green?

can't wait for my saturn controller to come in

Why is this board blue?

>/vr/
>shit board
man, I'm glad people like you don't go on /vr/

wrong on both accounts kiddo

/vr/ is best vidya-related board though.

How do I un-fuck the resolution?

Y-Y-YAMERO!!!!!

It really isn't. Sup Forums, for the shit board that it is, at least has a comfy thread once in awhile

>the unanimously agreed upon best version and possibly best arena fighter of all time

Back to bed Timmy

Just emulate OT on arcade with a Model 3 emulator or a Naomi emulator. Or better yet take the easy route and just get it on XBLA

Good luck, many of those games run an average of $100 on ebay with a couple getting into the thousands

Wasn't even the best arena fighter of the console.

Don't mind me, just posting the best version of Virtual-On

all versions other than the original one were shit

specialy the ps2 one
FUCK the ps2 one

Kek

I think the PS2 version the second user mentioned was Marz

Press alt. It'll pop up a menu at the top of the screen where you can change it to full res. Also make sure you go to debug->motion->1/1 every time you launch the program or it'll be playing in 30fps instead of 60.

>too inteligent to make this game run on my machine
i just want to play some virtual one. i managed to get the brazilain super rare dubbed version of OUTLAWS but i cant get this fucking game running

Power Stone is a party game, not a fighter

all these retards complaining about the price of saturn and dreamcast games and how its hard to emulate them
just buy the consoles
you can mod the saturn very easily with an action replay to play any burnt disc and dreamcast just plays burnt discs out of the box
and theyre not even that expensive

Make absolutely sure to follow the instructions on that page and also remember that ALT makes the menu pop up so you can configure shit.

Remember to install _inmm to make the music work (included with the download), and run VIRTUALON.exe (NOT V_ON.exe, but you need that executable so don't delete it) if you don't want losing to crash the game on certain characters.

OT on the dreamcast is pretty damn cheap and both DCs and Saturns aren't expensive at all. I think people are just scared of dropping ~50 dollars on an old game which is understandable.

I like it
The bosses in America fucked it over and only bothered to localise a handful of games

Dreamcast runs CD's, but CD's hold less data than GD-ROM's, which are a proprietary Sega format so good fucking luck burning it. I know from personal experience than the burnable version of Oratorio Tangram has some ugly-ass startup keygen screen, half the music repeated over all the stages to save space, and Vertebrate Shaft is completely silent.

That said this is legit advice:

Oh, if you're looking for comfy, /vr/ wouldn't be for you. Elitist bantz is where all the fun's at.

My PC can't run it at full FPS because it's a potato, but what baffles me is how much less of a pain in the ass NAOMI/Dreamcast is to set up for Oratan than Sega Model 2 is for the first game.

You have to download a fucking third-party LIGHTGUN plugin to make the controls work because the the guy who made the only existing emulator for Model 2 in existence can't design an emulator UI to save his life.
