Title: RADIANT SILVERGUN!!!!!!!
Post by: brettybluevein on September 14, 2011, 04:14:08 pm
Omg it just launched today and I bought it! I have wanted this game for ages, but never realized I could've played the JP version on my Saturn using only a Game Shark, so I was always waiting on a good deal on a JP Saturn. This will at least cure my itch until I find a hard copy for a decent price.

Hadn't heard of this one before your post but it looks pretty amazing.  Will have to pass on the word to my shooter-interested roommate.

@brettybluevein actually the Game Shark or Action Replay are both viable options. I've heard the AR is slightly better, because the pins on the GS are thicker than a standard memory unit's and may cause unnecessary wear on the expansion port's pins.

I have the GS and it definitely is way tighter than my official memory card. To the point where I have to hold the console down with one hand and pull (hard) with the other on the cart when removing it.

I know right! I don't have one either... I'm still going to try to get a JP copy.

Well, I HAD one, but got rid of it when I realized that all the good games on it were multiplatform and I always picked them up on PS3 anyways. And it's only after I sold it that Otomedius, Guardian Heroes and Radiant Silvergun were announced.

53% downloaded and I can't wait! omgwtfbbq. The worst part of the whole thing is it's on my arcade cabinet, but it's so laggy that it's unplayable, so I've been teased by it for 2 years now. ha

So I'm not the only one in this situation :P The computer in my MAME cabinet is horrible, it has trouble playing a lot of games smoothly... I don't think Radiant Silvergun even launches properly.

I had the same problem with waiting for it to download. Just couldn't get it fast enough! I fell in love with this game in limited playtime I had with it when it was set up for play at MGC and other conventions. Still want a Saturn copy though, hopefully the prices fall back down to Earth sometime soon.

Also about playing Saturn imports I use something called Saturn ST Key and haven't had any complaints.

Has anyone ever seen one of these for Saturn? It doesn't have backup ram or cheats...

My buddy gave it to me back in 98. He had bought it from a local place that sold imports and used it to play some adult dating sim lol.

When you boot the saturn with this you get a static sega saturn image instead of the boot animation then it kicks you to the saturn dashboard. after you just pop in the import and select load and away it goes.
