Very rare saturn ? item
- Thread starter croft
- Start date
Damn I wish I had one of those.
FYI its not a Saturn emulator per se, and it doesn't even have basic DirectX support so you can't use it for much else then for simple video display. Some early games did took use of its 3d capabilities though (Yes, it was a 3d accelerator, but it used forward rendered quads unlike polygons which became the standard).
And of course being able to use a Saturn pad on your PC is 3>.

If i remember its based on a Nvidia chipset, it also renders polygons in the same way as the saturn Quads instead of triangles.
HI,
Thanks for the input on the forum.
Much apreshiated.
I have had a look at the games included and they are Panzer dragoon 1 and also Virtua fighter remix.
I have not installed the graphics card yet but:
They are specifically programmed for the chipset on the graphics card.
There is Japanese text on the inner sleve of the disks.
The audio plays on any cd player and it is awsome.
On the back of the box the graphics are indeed enhanced over standard Saturn, Not shore if this is the monitor resolution that is used or the games themselves.
I will get as much info on the system as possible asap.
I mainly purchased the item to see if other sat games could be run and also anything related to getting past the normal cd security check.
B back asap.
Cheers all,
Ian.

The Saturn games released in the era most likely supported it. (Virtua Fighter 2, Sega Rally, Daytona, Panzer Dragoon 1-2, Virtua Cop)
I remember some other old games having options to use "3d acceleration" not through Direct3d but by choosing what card you have, and the "Diamond Edge" was an option there (Toshinden has it for sure, and i think Mortal Kombat Trilogy had it too).
