sega saturn emulator

[laptopgun3]

help how do i get a sega saturn emulator to work.if u no which 1 and can give me the link to it,that would b great.


p.s:i want 1 that can play dracula x

[Zorlon]

Giri Giri Hacked is the one you want to look at but the emulation isn't great for that game even on the fastest of PC's, but there are other emulators still in development that will be worth trying sometime

For now don't bother though, just keep hold of the ISO's or even beter buy a cheap Saturn to play em with

[laptopgun3]

can u tell me where i can get girigiri hacked?

[jedahsavior]

try emule the last time i was looking for saturn games on there they have it

[laptopgun3]

ok i have it but now i get an error that says cd-rom then somethings i cant understand

[Borman]

If you can tell me an easy way to play back up saturn games (or where to get a chip if needed) tell me lol

Ok after a few searching on that evil nova site from your old friend : I mean leecher ,I found some info
now abot that seeding .

Ok I just downloaded the magic knight rayearth ,mounted the bin cue whit daemon tools and launched the g.launch and what do i do next i mean how to run a game,
how to edit the base file to read the virtual cd rom (why not all emulators are as friendly as epsxe )


This site should help if you want to run the game without having to Mount the Image file:

http://dmweb.free.fr/DMNDownloads.htm

I know it's for a different game, but the last few steps of the instructions can still be followed. And you need the game to be in BIN and CUE format. Here's the steps I was talking about:


QUOTE
8. Execute the following command line: "gentoc -b dmnexus.cue". This will create a "toc.bin" file required by the emulator, and update the "base.ini" file accordingly.
9. Open the file "base.ini" in notepad. You have to configure the correct area code: "AREA=4" (this is for US). If there is another value, then the game won't start, and you will only access the Audio CD player of the Sega Saturn.
10. Run "glaunch.exe". Choose your preferences and then click on the picture at the bottom left of the window to start the emulation.



But if you want to Run it from the CD, read the file README-DAMMIT.TXT. The instructions should be in there. I think this is the step you were referring to.


QUOTE
3. Now edit base.ini, and change DISK1TOC so it points to the toc.bin file
you just created(you shouldn't need to change this as by default, it's
toc.bin). And change DISK1IMG so it points to game's image(e.g. bloop.bin).
Lastly adjust AREA to the region of the game:

1 = Japan
2 = Taiwan/Philipines
4 = US/C
5 = Brazil
12 = Europe
etc.



I know almost nothing about command lines, but I do know that if you create a shortcut of the .exe file, and add in the command line at the end (example: "gentoc.exe" -b [filename].cue), it will have the same effect as going into the Command Prompt.

More info about saturn emu ok that all laptongun3 the saturn emulation is far from perfect as you will see whatever is improving nicely (from the last 3 years =P)

"Some people probably already knew about this coming out, but it's finally come to fruition. Supposedly it's just an upgraded version of GiriGiri... but instead of the low speed crap, it's finally running full speed!"

"Anybody who reads through the site will know it's not simply for pirating. It's actually sanctioned by Sega. The emulator is free for download, and you can 'rent' games through the site for a certain amount of money."

The Recommended Specifications are:

Pentium 4 2GHz
512 RAM
64MB VRAM
DirectSound
Direct X 8.1

:ph34r:

However, this emulator by SEGA has already been cracked and tested, by many.

Here�s how it works:

Readme of the cracked Emu

"1. Rip your favorite game using cdrwin(as a raw 2352 byte sector image), put
both image and cue in the same directory as girigiri saturn.

OR

1. Run glaunch.exe with a full pathname(e.g. If you have all the files in
c:\girigiri, then run the program as c:\girigiri\glaunch). Setup everything
how you want it, click the big image, then when Girigiri starts, close the
program(you only have to launch glaunch once). You may also want to adjust
the AREA option in base.ini to the region of the cd that's in your
cdrom(see step 3).

Now just run gsaturn with the "-DISK" switch(e.g. gsaturn -DISK). Make sure
your saturn game is in your first cdrom(if you have cdrwin handy, just
check to see which one is first in the list).

This mode does work(I got it working in Win98 using VirtualPC and on my
Win2k setup), but it may not(I wasn't able to get it running properly in
my WinXP setup). Just make sure your aspi drivers are up to date, etc. Skip
instructions 2-7

2. run gentoc on the cue file(e.g. gentoc bloop.cue), this should generate
a file called toc.bin.

3. Now edit base.ini, and change DISK1TOC so it points to the toc.bin file
you just created(you shouldn't need to change this as by default, it's
toc.bin). And change DISK1IMG so it points to game's image(e.g. bloop.bin).
Lastly adjust AREA to the region of the game:

1 = Japan
2 = Taiwan/Philipines
4 = US/C
5 = Brazil
12 = Europe
etc.

4. Now run glaunch.exe with the full pathname. (e.g. If you have all the files
in c:\girigiri, then run the program as c:\girigiri\glaunch)

5. In the Launcher, adjust the settings how you want them(it should all be
pretty straight-forward), then click on the huge image
("Click here when you are finished").

6. Girigiri Saturn should basically start up, and go through all that bios
spiel like it does on a real saturn.

7. You only have to run glaunch once. So next time(unless you want to change
some settings), just run gsaturn with the "-i" switch(e.g. gsaturn -i)

8. If the game doesn't load, it could be an emulator issue, or perhaps a
bug in gentoc. You could always try adding your game in games.dat and
tweaking the settings.

9. Emulator settings, save ram and backup ram files are all located in
[your_windows_directory]\profiles\saturn(unless you change USERDIR in
base.ini to point to a different directory."

However, there is already a simpler way to do this by using a GiriGiri frontend.

You can find it at Zophar.net

Or

Download from here: http://www.geocities.com/spardasfc/GiriToolv1.1.zip

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, when you find the cracked emu, you will notice that there is a "games.dat" file with the emu.

The one that comes with the emu doesn�t support many saturn games.

Confused? Well, the "games.dat" file is like a compability list, so if you add more games to it, more saturn game become playable.

So, I uploaded the newest file of it.

http://www.geocities.com/spardasfc/games.dat.zip

And There are people still adding more games to it.

www.emudek.org has always the last "games.dat" file too. B)


If you have any questions about it, tell me.
I�m ready to help.

Yeah a working Saturn emulator! :woot:

Hmmm, none of the links seem to work. Is this emu dead? If not does anyone know where to get it now? Well, thanks for your time/help and efforts

[Karl Pilkington]

Go to Zophar.net and pick up Cassini.

Note Cassini is actually not an original emulator, it's just Giri Giri hacked (latest version) which a pair of complete and utter 'tards Barnito/Snail changed the name and claimed they were the programmers.

Only reason I recommend getting Cassini, is well it's a piece of piss to get hold of (thanks to Zophar's ineptness) and is the latest version of Giri Giri hacked.

[Sprung]

I wonder why the links are dead...

On yeah, this thread was 7 months old
