Good day guys Austin here. And in this one today, we are taking a close
Look at Sega Sega Saturn, one of my most beloved consoles of all time
However, it's also one of the most problematic
Consoles to emulate now, of course on the PC
We've got emulators such as Mednafen
SSF and those are great
Especially than nothing a couple of years ago when that started to really take over
It really sides to show huge progress and even to this day
It is probably the most compatible emulator for that system. The problem is it's very system intensive
You need a pretty beefy PC in order to run even these old dated games to today's kinda standard even at native
Resolution that's how intensive it is
But there has been other emulators some they'll have being forgotten first off
You're bouncing now this one it's an old-school one
Let's pray that way but it kind of stagnated in
2016 development kind of stopped and it wasn't touched probably due to these other emulators taking over the thing
Is that because these emulators are so intensive and the performance hasn't really come down on low-end systems
It's kind of now opened up a loophole for your bouton to come through again
Now over the last couple of months this old dated ill forgotten
Compatibility troubled emulator has now started to really show progress again
And the great thing is you can run this on pretty much anything
In fact, you can pretty much run this even on an Android phone nowadays
That's how well the compatibility is showing through now getting this running on a single board computer
I didn't think was possible but it very much is you're not gonna get this running on the Raspberry Pi. I don't think
But it very much does
On an old droid action for and that's mostly down to the developer who forked this version of you bousley
From the original dev my axe. Now. What he's done is absolute God's Word
Three
One go
Like
Right
It's unbelievable the progress and the breakthrough that it's made I would say in the last couple of months Sega Saturn
Emulation has now started to have a huge third in energy both windows-based
And of course on the single board computers dev
Myaxx has been working closely with the hora team added new features performance
Enhancements even in the last day since have made that video. I'm now seeing games not just working
But now we can even push them even further with resolutions to make it a better graphical experience for everybody. Of course, there is still
Compatibility issues probably the original emulator had about 50%
Compatibility now I would say but probably up to about 70%
Many of the IPS that are only available on the Sega Saturn and now playable
Using this emulator. In fact off the top of my head. I think it's only burning rangers for me
That still isn't fully playable
We've got rid of quite a lot of the graphical artifacts on the screen
But there is still slow gameplay in many of the areas which means that it's still not there
But again, since this last video was made to this one a few days progress
I've now seen those graphical glitches go and now we're seeing just slow gameplay
So who knows what could happen in the near future hopefully because this one is one of my favourite games of all time
But of course our other games out there burning ranges is just the one exclusive that I really wanted to play
There are all the other games that are on that system and they are pretty damn
Playable on in fact likely talks about the even more enhanced than what was on the original console
So if you like that enhance your games then it's good news because not only they're playing but he can now treat them even more
especially
Since these new additions I have got to say though that all this stuff is on the pride image
It's still work-in-progress and it is about to be released soon. I hope by the Ora team
These guys have works absolute wonders making all this magic happen. You can download right now the base image
It's got everything on there pretty much good to go out the box over them the Sega sign
I hope that they do release this soon because I think it's awesome news for everybody to get involved and
Try and stride forward together get you guys testing building up a compatibility list showing folks showing all that kind of stuff
So people know exactly what is working what isn't on what needs to go forward in different directions?
The aura team have been absolutely awesome
Working with the developer to get all these features are up and running and working to the best possible
standard on this budget single board computer
I've also gotta say thank you to Cuba addict and six Allen Lael. I can't even pronounce this
Apologies for the names. I'll put links in description down below to their YouTube channels. They've been absolutely awesome with me
I'm a Linux news
I'm all over Windows like a rash, but when it comes to Linux, I haven't got a clue now. Don't worry
you guys don't need to worry about this kind of stuff is just
Me trying to tinker trying to tweak to add to the scene which is why I needed to know a little bit of Linux
But unfortunately, I'm so new bit. I need to even help myself
so thank you to those guys for all the
patience in getting me up and running and
Allowing me to come up with my ideas and those guys up the ideas and get into this kind of progress that we're seeing now
as you can see why this videos gone on the compatibility and the gameplay that we're showing with these games is
Absolutely, beautiful
In the near future I will be releasing a video to get you guys up and running with the old droid xu4
I do know that many of you in the scene know exactly what to do and it's just second nature
Especially if you've got experience with the Raspberry Pi and stuff you can get these up and running in no time whatsoever
but for newcomers to the scene
It can be quite daunting and intimidating not knowing how to do things and even the most simplest of things
so I'll make a step by step guide if will literally be like a five minute video to get you up and running with your
Oldroyd and in the future
We're gonna cover a lot of the progress and feature quite a lot of the tinkering that can be done with this device also
like talked about I have tried to get back to the community and I have made a
Complete theme to be used on the old roid. They've got their own theme
Of course, you can use that as much as you want, but I will be releasing my one my contribution to the scene
So you guys utilize on your old road ex you poor you could probably use it on your PC as well
But I don't think it everything the Raspberry Pi is just too intensive for it now
That one is in the description down below to add link to my github for those of you know, what you're doing
I'm sure you can get up and running with that
if not
Then I again will be releasing another
Video showing you how to get the theme put onto it how to tinker it get it up and running as its intended
And of course, it's still working progress. It's not finished
there is still tweaks and
Stuff that I need to do to that theme to get it onto the kind of standard where I'm happy with it
Again links in the description to the github and that make sure you read the readme that's on that github
They will cover much of the information that is pertinent to the image. Well, I think that is about it to be honest guys
I think we've more or less covered everything with this in the background
Of course
you've seen all the gameplay that's been going on and I think we've covered all the features all the breakthroughs that's been happening with the
tsegga sign and the old droid I do what I cover quite a lot of the stuff that's happening with this updated image that's been
Released especially with the Nintendo 64 and the Dreamcast emulation with the new updates
The performance is really started to shine through
It's also got better performance and compatibility
So many of the problematic games are not just working, but they are pretty much flawless for them systems
Also the PSP of course, so look forward to those videos in the future
We've got quite a lot of old roy stuff coming on. So make sure you
Notifications are on for God's sake but as always guys thanks for joining me. Today is been an absolute pleasure

laters
