So is there a list of confirmed Saturn prototype games?

Any news? I'd love to see a 'release' if you know what I mean.

 

Huh? I think you can do a swap trick with ANY region original disc and ANY region backup.

 

NO you can't. The CDR disc must be the same region as the system it's running on. It's also 90% impossible to disc swap an original game from another region. It isn't impossible because I did it once but have no idea how the hell I did it. It deffinatly isn't done the same way as making CDR discs run. I just use my Datel converter now though so I don't bother patching CDR back ups of Japanese games I own. By the way I do own CDR discs of Saturn games but they are all English text versions of Japanese originals that I own. Yeah, I know it's still piracy in some peoples eyes but to me it's a chance to play my Japanese RPGs in English.

I have a few Saturn prototypes:

Slam and Jam '96 Silver
Three Dirty Dwarves Silver 8/16/96
Something marked "SF3 Preview 11.17"
Earthworm Jim 2 3 Level Demo 12/29
Something marked TMS/SS Beta 3B 12/9/95

I should really get a Saturn

 

Or you should really do a Inside System Overview for the ASSEMbler members :smt045

Yakumo you forgot to make the first initials of the the Inside System Overview in bold for the readers that need extra help understanding ;-)

 

I propose Inside System Overview be renamed Interactive System Overview. :-D

 

Slam and Jam '96 Silver
Three Dirty Dwarves Silver 8/16/96

The silvers are up for grabs if you want them. They're unpainted final copies on official media. In a nutshell, pre-production copies.

As for the other three, SF3 Preview is on an official Saturn CD-R. EWJ 2 is on a TDK CD-R, addressed to Electronic Gaming Monthly. And TMS/SS is on some other kind of CD-R altogether, in a Saturn CD-R case mismarked Bones Level Test. So if anyone wants to part with their Bones Level Test, let me know!

I was told the TMS disc is a 15-20 minute demonstration of the Duck codec. SF3 Preview, who the hell knows? Three games come to mind: Syphon Filter 3, Street Fighter 3, and Shining Force 3. I hope it's the latter, because it sure as hell isn't the others, and I can't think of any other games with the initials SF3.

Anyways if you want those two silvers at the top of the post, let me know.

 

Do you guys remember when I said that I had a video of the Panzer Dragoon extremely early CG mock up that Sega used to promote the saturn? Well sadly I never did find that video but I did find a picture !!! OK, the picture is site quality but still, better than nothing.

Could you make a video on how to do that? I tried today with three different betas and none of them worked. :smt022

 

Yes, OK. But I can't do it for a week or so because I have no time. Maybe the discs you are trying to boot are not the same region as your Saturn. Anyway, I'll make a video in the week some time.

YAY! I did it! I'll post an update after I check these out.

 

I know the game its some Clockwork Night multiplayer game. Right?

Indeed. ;-)
