"One of the besteffects I've managed to reproduce is the water cascade in Ripper Roo's level, achieved by using multiple sprites." Why not just use palette cycling? I'd assume that's how it was done on the original Playstation, and should be much less resource intensive then flipbook animations.
Probably Spyro. Until Spyro came out in 1998, it was thought that only the N64 could make a "true" open 3D platformer. So Spyro or Mario 64 and the endless amount of N64 platformers would be an impossible port

Very hard but making exclusive levels for the Saturn, hell yes! To create an authentic port, I'll need to explore Wurly's amazing Crash Bandicoot decompilation project 😉
The hidden surface removal wasn't done in-engine. Levels were preprocessed and loadlists added to indicate what geometry to load based on crash's position. And vertex animations were commonplace (and old at that point). The chunk-based data division WAS one of the big developments of the crash engine
All the great titles that Saturn could've had and didn't... Mega Man Legends, Crash 3, Klonoa, Spyro, MGS... I know that you do demos, but wouls you be willing to port any full game at any point? I am well aware about the issues with copyright and the immense undertaking it represents, but still...

It's very hard to know; maybe some PlayStation games released after the Dreamcast, like Wipeout 3, Gran Turismo 2, Ridge Racer Type 4, Ace Combat 3, Crash Team Racing or Final Fantasy VIII, would have been a huge challenge for the Saturn. But we'll never really know because the Saturn didn't live long enough to show us everything it had under the hood 😔
No it's a recreation, in the mid 90s Naughty Dog had an exclusive contract to keep the Bandicoot on the PlayStation 😉 Ironically, now Crash Bandicoot belongs to Activision which now belongs to Microsoft 🤪
Ah, Your Honor of the Internet Court, perhaps the release of my Star Wars homebrew for the Dreamcast ( www.patreon.com/posts/download-star-of-100098060 ) last month might be enough to avoid any decapitation threats 😟 Should I consider bringing Chewbacca as my legal counsel for some extra support? 🙃
Man that is ridiculously impressive. If only AAA developers today worked as hard as you to solve console limitation issues. But they got it too good so they don't try as hard as you
It would be too easy to blame developers alone; today's video game industry is nothing like the '90s. Some companies are massive, with decisions sometimes made without project leads' approval. Marketing departments take a big slice of the pie, with individuals who derive no pleasure from gaming and understand little about it, exerting insane pressure to release games as quickly as possible. Work hours have always been significant in gaming, but constantly working under pressure isn't sustainable long-term, especially when someone fresh out of business school is giving nonsensical orders while earning three times a developer salary. 😵💫
@@Frogbull55 I understand what you're saying and that is true. But the point I was trying to make is that necessity is the mother of invention. I think consoles today are nowhere near as limited and developers aren't challenged enough to make diamonds in the rough. And like you said when the publisher has a business plan that concentrates more on secondary stuff like microtransactions and political optics then making a truly great game that squeezes out the max of a console's capability becomes secondary. Known or hidden capabilities. For example I always thought that porting over Street Fighter Alpha 2 to the SNES was a small miracle. Due to the creation of that graphics compression SDD-1 chip . You just don't see stuff like this today. I know we're talking two completely different generations of hardware and architecture. But for every amazing Doom port on the Nintendo Switch there are a bunch of great games that were never even ported or disasters like MK11 and MK1 reboot ports for the Switch. Another example of not maxing out a console's power were the launches of the PS5 and Series X. These are the two most powerful home consoles ever created. But at launch neither console had a true exclusive title built from the ground for this generation and to fully use their capabilities and power. Every game out was just an enhanced PS4 pro and Xbox One X port at best. And a lot weren't even that good. I know Covid delayed things and projects for Sony and Microsoft. And that there were chip shortages worldwide. But you mean to tell me neither of these industry giants couldn't have one true showpiece this gen title ready for launch? I like millions of other loyal customers paid a fortune and waited in line for almost a combined 24 hrs to get both consoles. That's blasphemy! I'm 41 years old and I don't ever remember a new console generation launch this underwhelming. Well anyways that's my take. Keep up the great work and thx for responding. Maybe one day you can port over Killer Instinct to the Genesis. I've always wondered if that's possible after how well Vectorman on the Mega Drive. Take care.
tbh I really don't care about filters for the most part they usually look like ass aside that the only times they're useful is when it comes to having planes with smooth gradients (take sm64's shifting sand land's floor for example), which can be easily replaced by vertex coloring, which is less performance intensive than a texture the N64 sucked in graphics thanks to the pitiful texture cache and weak as hell RAMbus
Actually the PlayStation has no 3D hardware, it's all done through software. The Saturn added an extra VDP2 last minute hence why it's so hard to work with. The PlayStation is the weakest hardware of the big three, and has the biggest library, with Saturn being in the middle for the number of games and hardware power. (I was just as shocked as you probably are to learn the Saturn has more games than the N64 too)
@BlueEyedVibeChecker actually sega graphics less than psx you can noted that on RE game and it's can't running game's like crash bandicoot 2 , Nintendo had better pixels than psx but it's losing sound quality and cuteness video filter because it's not CD rom and the game will be shorter than psx even btw saturn was exit before psx unlike n64 newer but it's had less game's than sega saturn because it was failed system just like wiiU this they build GameCube so fast even though Playstation 2 kicked off GameCube and Xbox easy even the first Xbox was very strong device with powerful graphics and technology but it's had less care because Microsoft in first place was lazzy and they started with 360 .

Why not just use palette cycling? I'd assume that's how it was done on the original Playstation, and should be much less resource intensive then flipbook animations.
If this ever got open sourced (alongside the level editor you said you were working on) it would be a great basis for an indie platformer on Saturn.
Just to be clear, this is not a source port, right? Just a recreation.
Yes, it's a recreation, but I may incorporate some code from C1 (a reverse engineering of Crash Bandicoot by Wurly Fox) in the future

Ah, Your Honor of the Internet Court, perhaps the release of my Star Wars homebrew for the Dreamcast ( www.patreon.com/posts/download-star-of-100098060 ) last month might be enough to avoid any decapitation threats 😟
Should I consider bringing Chewbacca as my legal counsel for some extra support? 🙃
Cry about it
Man that is ridiculously impressive. If only AAA developers today worked as hard as you to solve console limitation issues. But they got it too good so they don't try as hard as you
It would be too easy to blame developers alone; today's video game industry is nothing like the '90s. Some companies are massive, with decisions sometimes made without project leads' approval. Marketing departments take a big slice of the pie, with individuals who derive no pleasure from gaming and understand little about it, exerting insane pressure to release games as quickly as possible.
Work hours have always been significant in gaming, but constantly working under pressure isn't sustainable long-term, especially when someone fresh out of business school is giving nonsensical orders while earning three times a developer salary. 😵💫
@@Frogbull55 I understand what you're saying and that is true. But the point I was trying to make is that necessity is the mother of invention. I think consoles today are nowhere near as limited and developers aren't challenged enough to make diamonds in the rough. And like you said when the publisher has a business plan that concentrates more on secondary stuff like microtransactions and political optics then making a truly great game that squeezes out the max of a console's capability becomes secondary. Known or hidden capabilities. For example I always thought that porting over Street Fighter Alpha 2 to the SNES was a small miracle. Due to the creation of that graphics compression SDD-1 chip . You just don't see stuff like this today. I know we're talking two completely different generations of hardware and architecture. But for every amazing Doom port on the Nintendo Switch there are a bunch of great games that were never even ported or disasters like MK11 and MK1 reboot ports for the Switch. Another example of not maxing out a console's power were the launches of the PS5 and Series X. These are the two most powerful home consoles ever created. But at launch neither console had a true exclusive title built from the ground for this generation and to fully use their capabilities and power. Every game out was just an enhanced PS4 pro and Xbox One X port at best. And a lot weren't even that good. I know Covid delayed things and projects for Sony and Microsoft. And that there were chip shortages worldwide. But you mean to tell me neither of these industry giants couldn't have one true showpiece this gen title ready for launch? I like millions of other loyal customers paid a fortune and waited in line for almost a combined 24 hrs to get both consoles. That's blasphemy!
I'm 41 years old and I don't ever remember a new console generation launch this underwhelming.
Well anyways that's my take. Keep up the great work and thx for responding. Maybe one day you can port over Killer Instinct to the Genesis. I've always wondered if that's possible after how well Vectorman on the Mega Drive. Take care.
looks cool, too bad it's fake😅
You are fake.
Have you ever thought about making tutorials?
I thought about it but talented people are already doing it, if you're interested by development on Saturn check the YT channel of @EmeraldNova
What ai do you use to make the video?
AI?
@@Frogbull55app like filmora or Sony Vegas to make this video.
I use an old version of Vegas
Btw, description disclaimers don't legally protect you, OP/
Jesus loves you!
Because psx had gpu and 3d graphics better than sega and n64,
N64 just had better filter image's not music or 3d
kek
And you always can play dream cast on psx mini
@XbandTv
tbh I really don't care about filters for the most part
they usually look like ass
aside that the only times they're useful is when it comes to having planes with smooth gradients (take sm64's shifting sand land's floor for example), which can be easily replaced by vertex coloring, which is less performance intensive than a texture
the N64 sucked in graphics thanks to the pitiful texture cache and weak as hell RAMbus
Actually the PlayStation has no 3D hardware, it's all done through software. The Saturn added an extra VDP2 last minute hence why it's so hard to work with.
The PlayStation is the weakest hardware of the big three, and has the biggest library, with Saturn being in the middle for the number of games and hardware power.
(I was just as shocked as you probably are to learn the Saturn has more games than the N64 too)
@BlueEyedVibeChecker actually sega graphics less than psx you can noted that on RE game and it's can't running game's like crash bandicoot 2 , Nintendo had better pixels than psx but it's losing sound quality and cuteness video filter because it's not CD rom and the game will be shorter than psx even btw saturn was exit before psx unlike n64 newer but it's had less game's than sega saturn because it was failed system just like wiiU this they build GameCube so fast even though Playstation 2 kicked off GameCube and Xbox easy even the first Xbox was very strong device with powerful graphics and technology but it's had less care because Microsoft in first place was lazzy and they started with 360 .
fake News. Kd o github desse código? 😂😂😂
