Sega Saturn Widescreen hacks (Panzer dragoon Saga POC)

How did you play this game on SSF? I getting a black screen after lisenced screen.

 

I changed some screen parameters on the emulator dont remember exactly what, I am at work atm as soon as I arrive at home I'll post it.

Translucent Dithered meshes

Translucent meshes, yes, 3D transparent object without dithering, please someone test this one on real hardware.

Code:

8006528C 8F03

@paul_met Only the Eur version ot Die Hard trilogy works on SSF, I use SSF_TestVer, skip bios and enforce aspect ratio, I remember the game hanging at the sega logo, without those options checked

 

According to Compatibility list (in Japanese) http://www8.atwiki.jp/ssemu/pages/91.html you'll have to change your settings to:

EZ Setting - Full Compatibility.
Set Cartridge to just "backup cartridge" , not 4MB or 1MB, otherwise it will freeze on FOX intro movie.

P.S: I just checked US version on the latest test version of SSF, I don't know if it is fully playable, but it boots and plays fine.

 

Sorry for the noob question, but is there some technical information about cheat codes syntax ?

I only know syntax of original cheat codes, described in yabause's wiki, and behavior when code start with "8" is not described there.

This one is amazing
That's just a supposition, but maybe a global variable (0x00065288) allowed to switch easily between textured quads and polylines (Saturn's VDP1 handles theses in a very similar way) in order to test game's 3D engine, and this global variable remained in final version of the game.

 

This was useful to me, I don't know if that is exactly what you are asking about.

Strange address. What is the initial value? It's desirable 4 bytes.

 

Initial Value is
00400040 4 bytes

0040 2 bytes (64 decimal)

 

I was tring these pro action replay codes on real hardware but I cannot get them to work... Do these require a specific master code? FYI, I'm using an NTSC Saturn, but I'm running the PAL version of Tomb Raider.

 

I think you've found a wrong value, since it is not directly responsible for the widescreen.
--------------------------------------------------------
Remove left black bar (action replay code).

Code:

1603712E E400

or hex code

Code:

File: 0MAIN.BIN
Address: 0x3312E
Value: E400h

PS: Extract / Insert this file with CDmage.

 

If I am not mistaken, since I don't have an action replay for the sega saturn.

Code starting with 800, should be chanded to 160, and the last 4 digits should be flip floped, like this.

CEP code (SSF)

Code:

80065288 0500

Action Replay code.

Code:

16065288 0005

And this should be done with every single code in orther to make it action replay compatible, at least that is what I do with Action Raplay codes for Yabause, no idea if this should be the same on a real Saturn.

 

Panzer Dragoon Pal Widescreen.

SSF (CEP)

Code:

800267C6 8300 

Yabause (Acion Replay)

Code:

160267C6 0083

Initial value
00AF (175)

 

could be that your using a "PAL" edition on an "NTSC" system the standards are different pal has more lines of resolution than ntsc does... just came to my mind about that...

This is the information I was looking for, thank you

 

Panzer Dragoon (Pal) - Correction aspect ratio of movies (for widescreen).

SSF (CEP)

Code:

300067A5 0067

Is there any build of yabause compatible with this game?

 

I think no yet. This is a known problem with this game on Yabause.
