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 6/16/2024 and its on the MiSTer Discord server under the unstable nightlies channel...so just be aware this has NOT come to MiSTer FPGA Update_All yet!
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!

Segata Sanshiro told me to watch this video and play the Saturn core. I have happily complied with his order.
Or else he will come for you
Sega Saturn SHIRO! @@VideoGameEsoterica
Everyday I discover a great game on your channel. Thanks so much for the great content!
Happy to do it
Construct your robot!
Got this PCB before prices went nutso.
Oh I bet they are high now
My absolute favourite Street Fighter game is Super Street Fighter IIX Grand Master Challenge For Matching Service on Dreamcast. It feels like a legit master version of the arcade board.
I have that on the shelf. Haven’t played in years though
@@VideoGameEsoterica
Lucky you. I had it and sold it for only $100. I reasoned (correctly) that it was useless to me without RGB support. I did play it a lot with a VGA monitor though. I didn't anticipate it's huge rise in value.
I never know the cost of things as I so rarely sell stuff lol. Black hole collection
Is this at Update All?
Thx
No. Manual install
@@VideoGameEsoterica thx
👍
I'm using the Hitachi Hi-Saturn 1.02 bios and some games refuse to work even though they are bin/cue. Is this due to bad files do you think? Couldn't get Batsugun,Battle Garrega, Virtue Cop, Initial D or a bunch of others to even recognise, but Out Run, Sega Rally, Daytona, House of The Dead etc work fine. Is it PC to ask which sites provide the most reliable roms? I've got a 2-chip 128mb module.
Probably game files. I can’t tell you where to find those here per rules. But you need to be a romantic
@@VideoGameEsoterica ok gotcha
👍
I watch the videos regardless but it would be nice if you can put in the title if it's a stable or manual update. Would save me from always firing up update_all whenever I see you and Saturn in my feed before I get around to watching.
I pop it in the description. Honestly I’m just tying to keep titles short so they don’t trail off the screen
@@VideoGameEsoterica and I never check descriptions. Will do so from now on 👍🏼
👍 I put the date and where to obtain in the first paragraph
Even if you do know Japanese, Doukyuusei is pretty hard without a walkthrough
Oh yeah I’m sure it’s dense AF
FIRST!
If you're not first you're last
First to Saturn!
Round these parts at least
@@VideoGameEsoterica yes but will you be the first to Mars
Lol
if you ARE curious about Doukyusei (i kinda doubt you specifically as in VGE are as you've said you aren't the biggest dating sim fan in previous videos but this is more for anyone catching this video that IS interested) there IS an English version available on Steam. Also i downloaded Wolf Fang instantly when you mentioned it cause it looks sick as hell
Wolf Fang is legit. I enjoy a VN. Just has to be sci fi style like Danganronpa or Zero Escape
Radiant silvergun keeps audio now!!!
Explosions are still crunchy and debugdog still double barks but that's much easier to look past then losing audio outright.
Nice. Glad you got audio
Wolf Fang is a rollicking good time and massively recommended to anybody who loves a good arcade blast.
It’s one of those games that 100% needs more love too
@@VideoGameEsoterica Agreed. It’s loud and brash and action packed, I love it.
apparently, this fixes holy ark. it crashed in the second dungeon all the time on the way to the cemetery. but now i can finally continue :O
I’ll take a peek in the future
Worth noting that the Capcom Generation 5 didn't run that well on the Saturn because it didn't use the external ram. There was slowdown. I imagine it would run better on the Mister.
Wouldn’t run any better than real hardware in reality
@@VideoGameEsotericaI would love to see your review on Otomedius along with its Xbox 360 port Otomedius Gorgeous and its sequel Otomedius Excellent!
I want light guns on mister saturn
I’m sure it’ll come
Thanks for letting us lazy types know about the Update All status ✌🏻
Haha that’s what I’m here for
Yup. Configuration fatigue has set in for all the devices I own
Happens to the best of us
what is that game you have there on the left in the intro?
Lupin the 3rd
What Sunder said. Pyramid no Kenja
News from 2 days ago, great ... We have all internet and can download unstable builds you know....
But do we all have charm? I know someone in this conversation lacks it! 😂
lol well, some of us are not as connected and are grateful for the news.
Ignore him. He goes from channel to channel doing this. It’s his joy in life 🤣
So are you Statler or Waldorf from the Muppet Show?
Those two were charming
