Sega Saturn on MiSTer FPGA is now on update all and while its still in beta there are still a ton of of best Sega Saturn games and Sega Saturn hidden gems to play! MiSTer FPGA Saturn core fun times! and the FPGA Core has been updated again! Bringing in some important fixes to some of the best Sega Saturn games! so let's do ANOTHER testing update video on the Sega Saturn FPGA core because why not! The ram controller has been rewritten and fixed up in dual updates! and we have another new core as of 5/20/2024...and its killing it with Burning Rangers! MiSTer FPGA review time!
and as of last week we have a new core that fixes a lot of the MiSTer FPGA Sega Saturn core bugs on VDP1 and VDP2 for games like Sega Rally, Tomb Raider and Panzer Dragoon Zwei! MiSTer FPGA review time! Just remember these TEST cores are not the same core you get in Update_All today
and if you need a MiSTer FPGA guide I have them on the playlist :)
I asked, you answered...and I try to listen :) Of all the requests for new content on the channel one of the most frequently asked for videos is a series on the Terasic DE-10 Nano MiSTer FPGA hardware...so here it is! Retro gaming goodness.
SRG320 just updated the Sega Saturn core with new code...AGAIN......so of course we are going to test the new binary and see how it performs. and now it's been folded into MiSTer Main and Update_all! Seriously...the improvements in performance and compatibility is a small retro gaming miracle! A LOT of games we tested previously have HUGE improvements and some new games work that never used to! and some games that STOPPED working on previous cores are now back and better than ever! Plus Burning Rangers has a seriously awesome improvement!
and now we have new working games that never worked before as well! Amazing. This is a core testing video with user requests! So enjoy!
This core fixes a massive ton of issues from the last Saturn core. Also make sure you update MiSTer main as there are some CD loading fixes in there that benefit Saturn!
and now it seems like more people that have older RAM modules / the four chip ram module variants are seeing more success running the current Sega Saturn MiSTer FPGA core too!
and game saves are here! Which is HUGE for the core! Because playing Sega Saturn in FPGA on MiSTer FPGA without being able to save your game was NOT easy!
So that means its time to test a new batch of games...viewer requests too!
Note: this is the current build of the Sega Saturn core for MiSTer FPGA and NEW GAMES WORK! but really its the save functionality that is the huge thing! Also this is a MiSTer FPGA Sega Saturn setup guide as the core is once again manually installed and you need to switch to MiSTer Unstable Main vs being on Stable main...which I will show you how to do in the video!
This is part of the MiSter FPGA Sega Saturn testing series...but now with a brand new core build! So lets put it through its paces! Because the audio quality on the new core just sounds PERFECT...in spots!
Note; you may need to format memory depending on the game. See here vampier.net/Saturn/
and thanks to Andy D!

As soon as you see this game with scanlines, all the textures, models and effects just comes together perfectly, such a good looking game.

It def benefits from scanlines or being on a CRT

@@VideoGameEsoterica Yeah for those who don't own a CRT, but at least have an OLED, a scan-line-generator is one of the best investments you can make, they are so much better than digital scanline overlays, as they actually produce authentic RGB scanlines that are properly rendered just as a CRT renders them and blend the scanlines properly with backgrounds and various textures, rather than just pasting them over the screen like shaders do, SLG's actually render one line at a time and give you the full-fat vertical & horizontal scanlines, they are also properly rendered as per each resolution and refresh rate, you also don't have any added latency or luminance loss with an SLG, you can even tweak the RGB values and get authentic CRT style bloom with them which is amazing on a good OLED screen, I also use an RGB VGA SLG with my PC CRT monitor, which looks identical to a very expensive BVM.

Saw this game, Magic knight ray earth and Panzer dragoon saga sitting on a self at my local toysrus back in the day. I had panzer in my hands and put it back. Mind you I had no car at the time, I’m 17 and I said and I quote “ I want to read the reviews, it’ll be here when I come back” . They were not 😞

I’ve been having such a great time with MiSTer, playing old favorites and exploring systems I never had access to as a kid like TG16. Saturn is another console that was MIA in my neighborhood, so I’m looking forward to eventually diving into its library someday. I’ll be sure to put Burning Rangers on the list!

I remember buying this on release day from a local shop. Never really liked the game, unfortunately. I still kick myself for giving away my Saturn collection when I got my Dreamcast. I think the only games I didn't have were Panzer Dragoon Saga, Magic Knight Rayearth and the Netlink Daytona/Sega Rally. Stupid young me!

Thanks for testing all of these! Getting games like these the eyeballs they deserve (even though they aren't that unknown) is fantastic. And all the news regarding FPGA classic gaming :). Great to hear after a day of work :). Also people that complain about the "mesh" are forgetting that most people played on composite or even RF back then (only a select few had component cables), and with those you hardly see the mesh, it becomes like a translucent layer due to the signal quality. Not saying it's ideal, but blending colors by mesh to create new ones (by abusing the limitations) was nothing new. Just compared to a component cable, direct scartrgb or S-Video? yeah... then you'll see the mesh quite clearly :P.

My only gripe with Saturn Core is i can't figure how to save game on "RAM cart". If anyone has played Dragon Force, they know that late game turns can easily take up to an hour. If you don't have RAM cart, you can't save midturn.
