      I don't have a lot of money, but if you ported the PSX voices I'd be willing to give you all a hundred dollars, not a lot I know but it is something. and it be worth it to play the game with the voices I love. and if you all don't want to do the PSX voices because you don't think it follows the Japanese script, well the PSP changed the script as well. I have been making the whole Japanese fan Tranlated script. that I found a patcher did on a old RUclips video. I'm sure when I finish you all could use it it would be something fresh and new and make the Saturn version completely its own thing. while still giving people the voices they love. I understand it would be a lot of work to redo it again. so understand if you all don't want to do it. just trying because I would love to do it myself. if you all don't want to do it maybe a short video of the steps you do to just change a few lines, what programs you use. I'm sure you use a hex editor to find the right lines in the audio fill somehow, but I'm sure you don't change them with it do you? and how do you change the markers for the how long the audio is for each line. a short video that would be a God blessing for people like me who would love to learn to edit it. this is the only Saturn game I care about, and they are different so hard to learn. anyway, thank you for your hard work even if you don't do anything, at least I know ity can be done thanks to you. and if I want to mess around with the Saturn version, I will play your over the Japanese one now. but still enjoy the voices from the psx the story with the voices are my childhood I love, after all that's why I started cloning the whole script to hear a new fresh of them voices. I use to dream about imitating Alucard's voice as a young man now I can through voice cloning lol dream come true. that's why I can never enjoy the PSP voices sadly, but happy for people who do and thank you for giving them that exp great job and take care.

    Hello Meduza Team! I am covering this on my channel soon and was wondering; the water in the underground areas are still the mesh transparency. I'm sure there is a reason for this and I'd love to know. I ask because the water in the beginning of the castle is a proper transparency. Could the same effect not be used underground? Or perhaps a similar technique that was used for the chat boxes? Anyway, awesome work on this and hope to bring many more people your way soon!

    • @MeduzaTeam2009
      @MeduzaTeam2009  9 месяцев назад +12

      Greetings. The water at the beginning of the castle is rendered using VDP2. The rest of the castle uses VDP1 to render the water. Due to hardware limitations of the VDP1, if the water polygon is made translucent, the character sprite will not be visible against its background, or its colors will be distorted.

    I just finished this last night and it is wonderful work. Just have a few suggestions for the next version and questions about design.
    Let’s start with the bugs:
    Music stops at second ferryman sequence for some reason now.
    Fairies don’t speak english in the dark room.
    Since there is a dialogue flag for each, it would be great if the Fairy got the original line from the PSX version and the pixie gets the line from the PSP version.
    Pixie Song is still in Japanese.
    Not sure if this is possible since I know there is only one flag for it, but it would be amazing if we could get the fairy to sing the english song and leave the pixie singing japanese. I think I tested something similar to this a long time ago with copying flag properties to different objects but can’t remember.
    Skull Lord at beginning of second castle is glitched out.
    He’s completely transparent for some reason.
    Keep up the fantastic work! Absolutely love it.

    @placeholderplaceholder3448 9 месяцев назад +2

    I've been playing this version for a couple hours now, and it's fantastic, brilliant work.
    I do have a few points of feedback and some ideas, not sure if all of these are even possible or if there's technical limitations involved, but they are worth an ask.
    I've noticed some of the text is poorly aligned, and when I picked up the Faerie Orb, the text was just straight up not in the box where it was supposed to be. A lot of item labels and the money pickup label don't seem to be properly sized for the text box. Borders on nitpick since playability isn't affected, but it is absolutely within the realm of a visual bug.
    These are all my suggestions:
    Would it be possible to replace Mist with a dedicated subweapon button and use the PSP controls for Mist transformation? Outside of that, I'm totally fine with the controls as they are.
    I would prefer more PS1-like mappings, but the big thing is a dedicated subweapon button would be nice. For the record I've been playing through Beetle Saturn, so my control scheme is pretty much the default Beetle Saturn controls. If I change the mappings in the emulator configuration menu, I end up screwing up the menu controls in the process, so there's not much I can do without creating menu issues.
    This is minor but I do feel like the transition back to the game after pausing or opening the map is too long, but I understand that the menu being remotely fluid is a minor miracle, so I can totally understand if there's no way to fix that.
    I wonder if it's possible to "un-stretch" the game with a custom viewport to make the game closer resemble the PS1 version visually. The strange wideness of the game is the one issue I see people bring up as not being fixed by the patch.
    I'd prefer the Japanese or English PS1 VA and dialogue over the PSP dialogue, that being said I do know the PSP dialogue is somewhat more accurate to the Japanese script than the original English script, but the PS1 script is just iconic to me. Honestly, I think the best call would be to have multiple branches, but I also understand how much of a nightmare for updating the patch that would be, so again, I understand if that's too much to ask.

      @@ThoughtformsOfTheSubconsciousM Yeah it was or is still a website. They sold modchips for the Sega Saturn back then. I haven,t got a kai yet, and I don,t have the expansion either. I know some games take that expansion. I was assuming it was just a matter of burning an iso of it. I def will have to try it out. I still wanna grab me a kai though one of these days for sure. I,d probably go for the generic 4MB expansion. Seems like the Action Replay ones are kind of pricey. I def need to try this out when I get a chance. Yeah the modchip boots backups with no problem l.

    Dear Meduza team, is this footage captured from an original sega saturn console? I have the game burned to a CD running with the 4M expansion and the game still has slowdown in certain places. Not talking about the map or regular loading, but running up the stairs with Richter in the Prologue and killing the Werewolves as Alucard in the beginning both bring noticeable slowdown compared to this video. Is there something I’ve done wrong? I’m using a Saturn model 2, Pseudo Saturn Kai to play burned disc, and the 4M cart which does in fact work.

    • @MeduzaTeam2009
      @MeduzaTeam2009  9 месяцев назад +1

      Firstly, no one promised that using a 4MB expansion card will eliminate slowdowns (тhe expansion card reduces data reading time.). And secondly, in this video the game was demonstrated on an emulator, which shows better performance.
