![]() ![]() In any case, well worth the asking cost and a really good play, even if not the best version. And maybe love it more.įor my 2 cents - RS is perfectly serviceable on 360+xbox one, lag seemed the same as emulation imho. Get into that and you'll probably find it easier to get into RS. It's a tired recommendation, but there's more than a few good reasons why this game still gets to be the contemporary go to example of the genre for many. In general, as a first introduction, I think you're going to find Ikaruga (spiritual successor to RS) more accessible (steam/ps4/xbla/gamecube/dreamcast, or naomi + any related emulation). There's no guarantee it'll run at full speed at that setting if performance is your concern. If I recall correctly, setting SSF to "Highest Compatibility" also causes it to eat up a lot more processing power. Namely, getting anywhere in RSG flat out demands being able to score, or else you just don't have the firepower to get anywhere, although Saturn mode eases the requirement by saving your weapon levels. RSG is cool, but I'd try some other games first. Bit of a pain to install PSK, but it's simple enough. If you're ever willing to get a Saturn, PseudoSaturn Kai works plenty well if you don't feel like dropping $150+ on a bare disc, no case/manual copy of the game. I know absolutely fuck-all about it otherwise. There's also the XBLA release of the game if you've got a 360, which AFAIK changes a handful of things and adds some features. I've heard good things about it, and apparently it should have less input delay than the other two options. * Mednafen's Saturn emulation should also work on a fairly recent machine, but I haven't actually tried it myself, and it's not exactly the simplest to set up. IIRC, SSF also has some input delay, however. This is a nice, easy way to play the game. ![]() SSF can boot games without the BIOS, but there's a good chance the game will crash if it even starts. ![]() Make sure you've got the BIOS file and set the Area Code to Japan in Option->Peripheral. You'll also need to go to Option->EZ Setting->Highest Compatibility, since the emulator starts up with less than perfect compatibility settings. SSF won't even bother to open if it doesn't detect a CD drive, whether real or emulated. You should also probably set the disc image to be read only too. * SSF should work on any remotely modern machine, but you'll need a CD mounting program like VirtualCloneDrive or WinCDEmu with the disc image mounted or a real CD drive with the game in the tray. This is probably the least recommended way to play, but I know it works. I cannot vouch for its accuracy one bit, but it's fast enough to be vaguely playable on a 2004-era laptop with frameskip enabled, and it runs fairly well on anything recent. It's a lot faster than later versions of MAME for it, and you can at least run the game from start to finish. * MAME 0.128 runs the ST-V version of the game, if with a fair few issues. There's a few ways to emulate the game if you're so inclined. Is it possible to play this game without dumping money into original arcade/Saturn hardware? The arcade version runs like ass under every MAME setup I've ever tried and the Saturn port is a lost cause because I can't find any Saturn emulator that works- they all either crash on boot or boot to a black screen and 100% cpu usage. AFAIK, there was the original arcade version and later a Sega Saturn port. I've heard a lot about a game called "Radiant Silvergun", but I'm having immense trouble trying to play it.
