Today we are taking a look at Radiant Silvergun Extra, a brand new Sega Saturn fan mod that wildly expands what Radiant Silvergun is on Saturn....and its already one of the best Sega Saturn games of all time...and one of the best shmups...so you know this is going to be good!
You can find the patch here daifukkat.su/ha...
Sega Saturn on MiSTer FPGA is now on update all and while its still in beta there are still a ton of of best Sega Saturn games and Sega Saturn hidden gems to play! MiSTer FPGA Saturn core fun times! and the FPGA Core has been updated again! Bringing in some important fixes to some of the best Sega Saturn games! so let's do ANOTHER testing update video on the Sega Saturn FPGA core because why not! The ram controller has been rewritten and fixed up in dual updates! and we have another new core as of 6/28/2024 and its been added to MiSTer FPGA Update_All so all the improvements from March to today on the MiSTer FPGA Saturn core are available to all!
You will see a HUGE improvement in performance on 2.5V MiSTer FPGA ram modules and a ton of other fixes!
and if you need a MiSTer FPGA guide I have them on the playlist :) along with MiSTer FPGA review videos and MiSTer FPGA vs emulation videos!
I asked, you answered...and I try to listen :) Of all the requests for new content on the channel one of the most frequently asked for videos is a series on the Terasic DE-10 Nano MiSTer FPGA hardware...so here it is! Retro gaming goodness.
SRG320 just updated the Sega Saturn core with new code...AGAIN......so of course we are going to test the new binary and see how it performs. and now it's been folded into MiSTer Main and Update_all! Seriously...the improvements in performance and compatibility is a small retro gaming miracle! A LOT of games we tested previously have HUGE improvements and some new games work that never used to! and some games that STOPPED working on previous cores are now back and better than ever! Plus Burning Rangers has a seriously awesome improvement!
and now we have new working games that never worked before as well! Amazing. This is a core testing video with user requests! So enjoy!
This core fixes a massive ton of issues from the last Saturn core. Also make sure you update MiSTer main as there are some CD loading fixes in there that benefit Saturn!
and now it seems like more people that have older RAM modules / the four chip ram module variants are seeing more success running the current Sega Saturn MiSTer FPGA core too!
and game saves are here! Which is HUGE for the core! Because playing Sega Saturn in FPGA on MiSTer FPGA without being able to save your game was NOT easy!
So that means its time to test a new batch of games...viewer requests too!
Note: this is the current build of the Sega Saturn core for MiSTer FPGA and NEW GAMES WORK! but really its the save functionality that is the huge thing! Also this is a MiSTer FPGA Sega Saturn setup guide as the core is once again manually installed and you need to switch to MiSTer Unstable Main vs being on Stable main...which I will show you how to do in the video!
This is part of the MiSter FPGA Sega Saturn testing series...but now with a brand new core build! So lets put it through its paces! Because the audio quality on the new core just sounds PERFECT...in spots!
Note; you may need to format memory depending on the game. See here vampier.net/Sa...
and thanks to Andy D!

Why do I get more excited about a mod for Outrun 2006 Coast2Coast, a port of Final Fight on the Mega Drive, or a translation patch for Blast Wind than I do for new "AAA" games?
Blast winds vid coming soon
I find these comments of people pissing on AAAs endlessly entertaining. That’s because AAAs try way too hard to be safe and ambitious for their own good. No wonder they’ve been bombing left and right. Big budget doesn’t always mean better product. I celebrate retro-style games and retro rereleases on modern consoles. I didn’t buy a PS5 for God of War Ragnarok or FFXVI (both of which I do have), I bought it to play all my PS4 games and to play the shmups and 2D fighters that come out for it as well as all those Japanese made stuff (that’s not made on a $100M budget or more). Still want RSG to get a PS5 port. Just imagine those indie devs (and people who prefer retro-style games like myself) laughing at the dumpster fire state that the AAA industry is having. It annoys me that AAA games always get attention from the media everywhere I go. Don’t get me wrong, indie games do get attention from the media too.
And yes, I too get excited for translation and enhancement patches.
It’s been a rough year for AAA
@@VideoGameEsoterica I prefer a small family owned bbq joint over McDonald's, no tears shed from me.
Option+ menu is in the vanilla version, the additions are :
- Score Type and Shot Count settings
- Option+ menu available immediately (in the vanilla version, you have to clear the game in Arcade or Saturn mode to unlock it)
Yes I meant new menu off the top on start
Loved testing this one out the other day! Really cool to see this version get the modes from the later ports.
Also yeah, I agree that the Saturn version looks the best visually. I also have the Xbox 360 version (on my Series X), and it just doesn't look the same. Still a solid port though.
Saturn always looks the best. Cause Saturn
Cool mod. Truly epic music, same with Ikaruga. Ooh that last question is a bugger, love them both for 2 different feeling shmups.
It’s an awesome new version
I never got to playing Radiant Silvergun but I loved Ikaruga.
That soundtrack is awesome, and love the FMV
Nows the time to play
Funny you posted this, Radiant Silvergun day is already next Saturday.
Good timing indeed
@@VideoGameEsoterica The date said July 13th.
Ahhh
@@VideoGameEsoterica That's why I consider July 13th to be Radiant Silvergun day.
Neat. I just bought this game during Steam Summer Sale.
Good pick!
This game is a ton of fun. I recently started playing it for the first time. I’ll have to check this out, thanks for the heads up!
Some may say a metric ton of fun
I hope these patches keep coming. Even the addition of a level select option would make many arcade-style console games much easier to get along with.
I’m sure they will
Finally beat it today after weeks. Man the last Bosses tough as f... Ending is awesome. A total blast an masterpiece in RPG shmups
Congrats. NOT an easy game to beat
I'm so happy this happened. When Radiant came out on Xbox360 with the Ikaruga scoring mode, I thought it made the game more accessible and fun to play. So I've always wanted to experience it on Saturn, and now it's a wish coming true ❤
A nice final addition would be subtitles for the intro (like on 360) and the final boss (not on 360), when you can hear all those voices showing all aspects of human nature : love, selfishness, compassion, bellicism... All while fighting the last boss. Give me chills every time. A shame that part was not subtitled yet.
Maybe the next version will have it
This game was a 10/10 best shooter Iv played. Still looks amazing today.
The art style has aged well
Oh yeah love that game back in the days...
i can confrim that the patch process is super easy. Works perfect.
Yes patching is mindlessly easy
@@VideoGameEsoterica played it for 4 hours.... Last boss was this golden worm like boss... i though thats far than i
looked at a gamplay walkthrough ... not the half :D Well it is really a impressive and hard game. Being addicted now...
Need to complete it. These new options are also great.
Def need to beat it. Best of luck
RSG was what hooked me into shmups back in the days
Used an action replay with cheats to beat it
There was just so much variety to the game
Ikaruga was a completely different shmup that really did not play at all like RSG
Ikaruga is a fun game but I suck at it
@@VideoGameEsoterica It was fun
I still have my original copy but I was expecting a graphically upgraded version of RSG
Also I really sucked at the game too lol
I played it on easy at first but Normal was just much harder 😅
This is exciting, even as a retro gaming and shmup enthusiast. My favourite game on the Saturn gets an extra game mode like its rereleases do. It’s awesome to see Sega Saturn games get rereleases (like those Saturn tribute games) or new life brought into them. I only wish RSG would get a PS5 port already.
It’s fun to see the extra modes getting downconverted to the original game
this game is made for repeat play
All shmups are in a good way
Man, I can’t wait to suck at Radiant Silvergun in new ways haha
Haha that’ll happen
I'd also love to get STV support on the MiSTer Saturn core. I prefer original cartridge chiptunes of games over their rearranged CD counterparts.
That would be fun and should be doable but that doesn’t mean it will happen. Will just have to wait and see
Very very cool my friend
Fun time indeed
@@VideoGameEsoterica Looks like. Im gona aply this patch and play it using Saroo. Regards man
Enjoy 👍
@@VideoGameEsoterica Thank you
It is much easier to play....you use R1 to suck up the pink bullets with your force field which gives you a massive special to slap the enemies.
It’s been a minute
It's an easier game if you use the Radiant Sword (R button) to soak up those pink bullets!
That’s def an interesting mechanic
I have the Switch Radiant Silvergun, and it is indeed a 10/10 massively difficult game! will have to find a way to burn this update and check it out on my Pseudo-Saturn Kai equipped Japanese model! man the treasure shmups between this and Ikaruga, no way I'll ever see the end without massive amounts of continues, haha.
Haha they are NOT easy. But I find Ikaruga near to impossible
I missed this yesterday for some reason
I don't think I've ever cleared the first stage and I haven't attempted this game since I got better at Shmups
It hasn’t gotten any easier that’s for sure haha
Radiant kill-me-over-and-over Gun
An apt alt name 🤣
also why does the characters looks similar to the characters from Guardian Heroes on the Saturn?
Same dev. Treasure
Take... these broken wings...
As one always should
And learn to fly?
Where did you learn to fly
pffft
It's too bad they didn't subtitle of the intro movie. I feel like you could just take the video file converted from the Xbox version.
True. Would have been fun
I want in with this one VGE. 8^)
Anthony..
Who wouldn’t!
Thirst!
A fun time indeed
