No it's not needed the main issue for the loading is that I read the music from the CD so I can't interrupt it. With MIDI music (like in the original game on PS1) it won't be a problem. I made a post on my Patreon to explain the different technical constraints of the game and the solutions that the developers found in the 90s (which also apply for a Saturn port)
@Frogbull55 Ahhh, that makes sense! The original music was midi, whereas here you're reading the tracks as CD audio files! That answers one of my questions. What about the screen going black at the end of the FMV, and the missing guards in the red uniforms who were overlayed over the FMV in the original (and the missing scene of everyone jumping out of the train)? Were those just stylistic choices, since you knew the music had to stop during transitions, or was there some technical constraint keeping you from rendering the polygonal guards over the FMV/displaying the pre-rendered background while the game loaded the first gameplay area? I know I've seen some simple "Now Loading" text over loading screens before (like in Symphpny of the Night and all the Virtua Fighter games), but maybe displaying a whole pre-rendered background during loading is a little harder to do? I'm not an expert, but this is fascinating to me, and does a good job of illustrating the differences in the capabilities of the two consoles. I'm sure a lot of what's going on here is way over my head though... Also, have you gotten this working on actual hardware? How far into the game can you play? Do you have disc swapping implemented?

I remember someone demade a little of OoT and an impressive fully 3D tech demo that wouldn't work as a game. Unfortunately it is not popular to try to make 3D games on it, nearly every homebrew GBA game being 2D has made it an underwhelming console to dive into.
The "arena-like" graphics of the battle phases would've greatly benefitted from the VDP2 in the 3 PSX FF games. The floor could've been a plane just like in most Saturn fighting games, this would've saved some polygons and maybe devs could've pushed the resolution and/or the framerate in these scenes where the PSX is locked at 15-20 fps I believe ?
Awesome work. Would love to see Dragon warrior games on Saturn. That would be a dream. And if you were to add Zelda to Saturn you would get a massive following. Just saying. 😁
Don’t think OoT is possible, AFAIK the only console that could pull off its large maps was the N64. No offense to the Saturn but it appears even SM64 would be pretty tough. Someone recreated the outside of Peach’s Castle in their Saturn game and the console wasn’t doing it as effortlessly as Nintendo’s.
@@justgivefacts Somewhat confident there's some trickery going on, for starters the Saturn has hardware specifically for creating a large flat plane.

There's a significant amount of pop in too. Often that's considered ugly, but you can leave it in if you want to push the system further.

I wonder how a Sega Saturn version of DQ7(formerly known as DW7) could've turned out. Probably wouldn't have seen release in the west, but I wonder if software royalties could've boosted the Saturn's momentum just a bit longer in Japan to get Sega some money!
imagine n64 mario, but with ff7 characters!! that was my dream when i first played ff7 and got my n64 lol. cloud chopping away, barret shooting, and tifa just strait up doing her thing. all in the 3d world of mario 64's engine, but ff7 world. FF7 Remake came close to my dream lol. FF 16 was even closer but not quite there. swap between all the characters with the C-buttons, items with L and R. the d-pad its own function. Z-button as well. it was glorious in my 10 year old brain. shit.. it's still glorious today when i think of it lol.
Imagine Square approached Sega to make this title instead of Sony and we ended up with a Sega console in 2023 instead of Sony going against Xbox and Nintendo 😂 that makes me wonder I have to say
Sony currently isn't going against Nintendo anyway, It's just Sony and Xbox. Nintendo is just there. Back in the day it was Sony against Nintendo, now it's just Xbox and Sony. Nintendo is just there, it's not going against Sony or Microsoft, not are Sony and Microsoft going against Nintendo.
What interesting trade-offs. The textures are more muddy with lower res. But the animation of the polygons is much, much more fluid and less janky than PS1 (particularly noticeable when the enemy SOLDIERs step forward to use their MGuns)
Honestly even if FFVII were to have been ported over to the Saturn during the late 90's, it remained exclusive to Japan. Compared to the PS1 version, that one saw a worldwide release.
@@dutchgamer842 nope, I only have ps1 back then, but I really saw the saturn version in a magazine iirc 🤣. Like I said, multiverse memories cross over I guess 🤣.

Really don’t understand why Square didn’t release their games multiplat, it was always one or the other. And they never released a single game for any Sega hardware, crazy to think about.
Not a lot of people know that square approached sega with ff7 untill sony offered & said they will give them a more powerful console, however all square games will be exclusive to the Playstation 1 only. I have heard about this backdoor deal along time ago. I would have loved to see a Final Fantasy game on the Dreamcast! 🙂
Yes back then Sony was doing alot of dirty deals buying out games and developers and now they are crying Xbox is doing that now.. makes alot people wish Sony would of failed from the beginning

I wonder how many discs it would have cus it originally had 3 discs on ps1 and i don't how much memory sega saturns discs have compared to the playstation Discs i assume they are different
Oh shoot, If you literally make a full version of final fantasy 7 maybe I should give it a try cause I'm really not interested of playing FF games on other systems and I'm not big of final fantasy either
No, it's just that I don't have enough time for my various projects. For FFVII I made some progress that allows rendering FMVs via VDP2 and rendering 3D on top of the video with VDP1 but it's still very experimental.
Haha, it's a fine job, but the video wouldn't look like that... it would be a tiny rectangular box in the middle of the screen. Enemy Zero was that way, Wipeout was that way, Shining the Holy Ark... I'm trying to think if there was a game that had full screen, or even normal widescreen, fmv videos. Even Panzer Dragoon Saga at the very end was a tiny box... Solar Eclipse and Ghen War had pretty good fmvs, but I think they were the small box, too. The Saturn had bad video playback
Seriously impressive stuff and a dream to see this running in the ole Sega Saturn! Please consider having these also running on the Sega Saturn: Yes! yes! This please! Tekken 1, 2 & 3 & these below to see as snippets where possible: Tekken 1, 2 & 3 Crash Bandicoot 2 Tomb Raider 2 Grand Turismo Ridge Racer 1 & Type 4 Wipeout 3
This is not even a good fake. Enemies appear behind walls, battle transition is wrong, animations and sound effects are completely off-sync.... this just looks like you recorded it on a PSX emulator with bad settings, edited a Saturn bios onto it and tried to pass this off as a.... I don't even know what.
It’s probably fake. Anyone can put a box art and play the game, it blacks out right after the Sega Saturn intro screen so it would be easy to splice the footage. I’d be happy to be proved wrong tho

I wonder how many discs it would have cus it originally had 3 discs on ps1 and i don't how much memory sega saturns discs have compared to the playstation Discs i assume they are different
Panzer Dragoon Saga is on 4 CDs, so Sega Saturn FFVII could be in 3CDs.
2 sega solders vdp1 and vdp2 attacking playstation cloud playstaion cant attack against power of vdp1 and vdp2. want to see dino crisis saturn.
best game!!
Oh shoot, If you literally make a full version of final fantasy 7 maybe I should give it a try cause I'm really not interested of playing FF games on other systems and I'm not big of final fantasy either
If any of this stuff was real wed see iso releases.
Did you give up on this?
No, it's just that I don't have enough time for my various projects. For FFVII I made some progress that allows rendering FMVs via VDP2 and rendering 3D on top of the video with VDP1 but it's still very experimental.
Haha, it's a fine job, but the video wouldn't look like that... it would be a tiny rectangular box in the middle of the screen. Enemy Zero was that way, Wipeout was that way, Shining the Holy Ark... I'm trying to think if there was a game that had full screen, or even normal widescreen, fmv videos. Even Panzer Dragoon Saga at the very end was a tiny box... Solar Eclipse and Ghen War had pretty good fmvs, but I think they were the small box, too. The Saturn had bad video playback
Mega Man 8 was full screen.
Wait what?
Would it be possible to port bomberman hero ?
We already have grandia and shining holy ark and force,fuck square
Wouldnt mind seing some enix snes games running on saturn

one more project ? cool but why not finish Metal Gear first?
it's not a project. just some demos. could take several years to finish one of these games for just a couple of developers.
@@Italia.90Frogbull said they might finish MGS1.
I love Sega, but they made a lot of dumb decisions. Sega CD and 32x were two of them.
Yes a lot, especially the 32x 🤕
Why
This is not even a good fake. Enemies appear behind walls, battle transition is wrong, animations and sound effects are completely off-sync.... this just looks like you recorded it on a PSX emulator with bad settings, edited a Saturn bios onto it and tried to pass this off as a.... I don't even know what.
just read that this is fake. same with the metal gear solid port for the saturn
It’s probably fake. Anyone can put a box art and play the game, it blacks out right after the Sega Saturn intro screen so it would be easy to splice the footage. I’d be happy to be proved wrong tho
I hope I get to see tekken 1, tekken 2, soul blade and tekken 3 for sega saturn.
Yes! yes!
This please!

@@taib yep, and so is final fantasy tactics for sega saturn, spyro the dragon, dynasty warriors 1, legacy of kain blood omen, oddworld abe's oddysee, bloody roar, bloody roar 2, etc.
It was never on the Sega Saturn it was only on the PSX that sucked ruined all the arcade hits that could of went on the Nintendo 64 or Sega Saturn the final fantasy on PS4 and PS5 is a lot better
This absolutely would have changed the world.
Xenogears next Finish disc 2 😂
This is a recreation made with 3D modeling software as explained in the patreon. Not actual Saturn footage. Nice clickbait tho 😂
Made with Mednafen, an emulator capable of emulating the Saturn hardware. So it's actual Saturn code, even if it's not running on actual hardware.
@@zackweishaus7985 you can't make something with mednafen, stupid, it's an emulator not a programming tool.
burn this to a sega saturn disc.
?
You guys must be drunk 🥴!!!....the unofficial saturn port of FF7 is no where near the quality of the PS1 version.that long pause just to enter a battle says it all.And look at the polygons they are a mess.my god,get over it fellas.The sega saturn will NEVER outclass the PS1 in 3D capabilities.However dont get me wrong it had some great games but PS1 takes the cake here.
The Saturn can only process HD full color textures.
