It depends on what kind of CD-R you use, if the disc drive can read more tightly packed tracks, and if there's any security data. For example the Saturn's specs say 650MBs is the max, yet it will...

That still didn't answer my main question. What is Super DD?

What is this Super DD and why is it supposedly better than SoR2?

No, credit goes to Paul_Met and Team Medusa. That facebook group is nothing more than a group of thieves who try to pass off other peoples work as their own. They've been called out on it multiple...

If I remember correctly gouraud shading doesn't work in that mode on paper, but if you set up the palettes just right it kind of works due to a bug?

Ones I made with VBR Mpegs played just fine with my card which is the official Sega one:

For what it's worth, the Saturn MPEG decoder can handle Variable Bitrates. So you don't have to encode at Constant Bitrate if you don't want to. Also keep in mind that the Saturn VCD player runs in...

Grandia on the Sega Saturn:

Uses VDP2 planes for floors in just about every area giving better detail than the Playstation Version plus has baked in shadows and other neat effects like the water....

You shouldn't have to use ISOBuster at all. I tested it with my personal discs, my personal rips of the discs, and rips from redump. All of them worked. What doesn't work is just trying to patch an...

Version 0.9.2-RC is out. This changes the patch over to use the new SegaSaturnPatcher utility which should make patching easier.

The point I'm getting at though is if there is seriously as big of a disc rot problem as people are trying to claim, it would be extremely evident to the point where we would see certain games just...

We're talking about US Saturn and Sega CD games here. These games all had relatively small print runs. I've seen people claim disc rot on just about every game they find with top layer damage. I've...

Bronzing happened with some discs in the 90s sure, but it's a lot less frequent by that point. It was more of an issue with discs pressed in the 80s last I checked. The 90s wasn't when they'd start...

Yes, but the point I was getting at is that CD-Rs are manufactured differently and the data is stored in them in a different manner. It's kind of an apples to oranges comparison when you try to use...

Yes, but I believe most of that was for early pressings in the 80s with music CDs. By the time we hit the 90s and games were being printed on CDs I think a lot of those issues became a lot less...

Gamecube games are Mini-DVDs, so the data and reflective layer are sandwiched between two plastic layers. Assuming you're talking about the same issue I think you're talking about, in most of those...

See this is what I would expect an actual form of rot to look like. It's clearly more organic in nature and it seems to grow from a central spot. That I can see happening from a manufacturing defect...

It's not that the lacquer is cheap or that it's rotting. It's just that it's easier to damage than you want to admit. Most Sega CD and Saturn games being bought and sold these days are second hand,...

He hasn't started selling them yet. He's holding off until it's at version 1.0.

The Japanese voice acting is still better than the English dub. The English dub actors can't even maintain tone in the same sentence:

Or...

No.

1) I have no idea where the voice audio is stored in the Saturn version as I haven't been able to find it.
2) The English Dub is terrible and I have no desire to put that in.

The translation has been complete for a while now. All that was missing was FMV subtitles, which those have been implemented since 0.9.0. The current version, 0.9.1, is a release candidate for the...

The only real issue I've had on Saturn is with newer cheap CD-Rs not working quite right for games that do a lot of CD access like Grandia. If I burn that game to a cheap verbatim I got at best buy...

Most Pseudo Saturn carts you get from China are pretty poor in quality. They all are just 4MB RAM cart variants. Even if they have a switch it usually doesn't do anything and you will still most...

Version 0.9.0 is out which adds FMV Subtitles and a few other bug fixes:
