Hey folks. Aside from the actual Sega Saturn console, which emulators run Holy Ark reasonably well. I know Saturn emulation is at very early stages but I have heard a few people have had some success getting it to run. Look foward to hearing your opinions.
Shining: The Holy Ark
- Thread starter xenomorph256
- Start date
There's also the possibility that xenomorph256 wants to use an emulator to run the game at higher resolution or has a technical interest in emulation.
I know that there are genuine reasons for wanting to run an emulator other than 'cheapness'. Considering that you can get most games running perfectly on a stock Saturn (using Satconv and the swap) with little hassle, trying to run an imperfect emulator just to play games seems odd to me.
However, the Saturn emulator authors are doing an excellent job and I hope that they have great success with their endeavours. 🙂

The only one I've tried to run it on was the hacked girigiri, and that was just to see if it DID run. It does, and ok for the most part. However, sound is pretty bad and can get downright horrible at times. I much prefer running it on my actual Saturn. Saturn emulators are advancing, but I still can't recommend using them as any sort of replacement for a Saturn. Plus you need a fairly powerful machine for the legal ones.
Thanks for your feedback 🙂
The reason I wanted to know if it was playable on an emulator is that my saturn crapped out a while ago and yes, I'm too cheap to buy another one 😀

Hehe, it's not hard to find if you look hard enough. It's just a shame there havent been any releases since 1.0.4
It's probably because there were no new Cyberdisc releases. I didn't see any new titles on their website. The same games from when all the fuzz started.
Seems it wasn't a big success (the top games are mostly Genesis games), and all the whole Cyberdisc thing did was kill off GiriGiri for ever, since MEGADEATH won't be able to make further releases of it, since it's Sega's now.
IIRC both the RealOne Arcade Sega Classics and some other commercial emulator from Japan (I can't remember which one, maybe a Sega one?) are both based on Gens.
