I understand how the other PAR codes work (codes started with 1, 3 and D), but I found no information on the master code. Does anyone have some information ? I am looking for technical information. 1) why is there a need for a master code ? What is its purpose ? Bypassing protection ? 2) what...

What could be considered as the correct size for the data found in the ROM of the Sega Saturn carts ? As I am a novice in all the ROM stuff, I don't know which size to take. Here is an example: Let's take the Satellite cart. It has 3 chips: 1) PALCE16V8H-10 - P8/4 9450AXA/L -...

I am in the progress of dumping Saturn stuff lately and I am wondering how the MPEG Card bios works. Standard Saturn Bios is readable directly in the memory as it is duplicated there. Cartridge Data are also readable directly in the memory. But for the MPEG Card bios, how it works with the...

I want to add some background musics to my program but I don't know the best way to do this. As my program has disc access according to what does the user (loading files most of the time), I think CDDA music is not a good choice. I thought about streaming music. Rockin'B talked about "stream...

Another maybe dumb question: Does anyone notice some corrupted pixels (2-3) at the bottom right part of a the picture when: - convert a .tga to .bin with BGcon using DHUFF compression - load the compressed .bin to RAM with Gfs_Load - decompress it with Dehuff() - then copy the data to VRAM...

slPrint function allows only to print ASCII characters. Is there a way to write Japanese characters in a simple way ? Maybe by using KANJI.FON and/or KANA.FON (Bitmap font files) ? I am also new to Saturn programming and I need a lot of sample codes to understand what to do, but I didn't find...

We are working on some "secret" projects for satakore and today, one of them has been put online: The Game Basic Database. We worked (more or less) on this project for about one year, since the day we have released the Lighting Gunner Demo. The purpose of the Game Basic Database is to become...

I don't know if this question has already been posted (can't perform a search on "elf") so sorry for the dupe if this is the case: Does anyone know how to browse/extract content of .elf files ? There are some saturn games with only one big .elf file which contains all the data. It is some sort...
