        It was good enough to play hundreds of games perfectly with no glitches, except for a few piss poor ports like Croc and Doom which didn't boot.

        Thats a very low bar you set there.
        Didnt get really good (like near perfect) until a few years ago

              depends on what you call "good"
              if i have to turn off game audio because the games running too slow and the audio is crackling like popcorn, thats not very good imo
              if im restricted to playing jarpigs because anything with a reasonable amount of execution necessary is impossible, thats not good
              if i have to go in, in-game, and manually turn off transparency layers in order to be able to see the screen, thats not good
              starfox literally could not run at all, neither could yoshis story, DKC was like watching someone try to run through waistdeep water

              dont get me wrong, i still used ZSNES a lot, and it was pretty clearly the best of the available options most of the time out of the laundry list of half-finished beta shit emus that were listed on zophars

                You sound like you're talking about SNES emulation in 1997, not 2007. By 2007 for 99% of games the emulation status of the SNES was near-placebo tier with only a bit of lag and slightly different audio being the big tells.

                I wasn't the one who said anything about wobbly textures, I simply pointed out that Grandia does look and run better on Saturn and that the floors aren't random.

                We all know Saturn has quirks with Transparencies, that doesn't mean it can't do them though if you know what you're doing. And then there's the fact that meshes look fine over Composite.

                >no additive blending
                >only 50% opacity
                Mega Man X4 is a terrible example of Saturn's transparency since it completely fails at the main part of the game's aesthetic which is the dash afterimage (PS1 screenshot). Even without dashing, that X4 webm misses additive blending on the lights.

                >It's not additive blending!
                I know that, you missed the point though. The point was that meshes blend fine over composite and look fine in most cases. Sure X4's transparencies look a little prettier on PS1, but most people aren't going to notice or care. Both versions have their pros and cons and balance each other out.

                Whoever did the ps1 port was an absolute hack. The floor layout on the ps1 is a random mess.

                >It's a bad port!
                Game Arts did it themselves. The issue is that on PS1 you have 512KB less VRAM, so something has to take a hit.

                >They're not random on Saturn. It actually has roads, shadows, paths, etc.

                I can't see none on the video you posted other than that alley with the garbage having a metal ground. Yeah, it's visible on that second screenshot, but during gameplay it makes zero difference.

                >but during gameplay it makes zero difference.
                It actually does as it makes it a lot easier to navigate the towns as it all looks more unique. Plus we all know if the situation was reversed you'd be rubbing it in Saturn fans faces.

                >during gameplay it makes zero difference

                This, and shiturn doesn't even have analog controls so I don't know why people even bother arguing over it today. Such a weird hill to die on, but I guess that's all its fans have left in life.

                It is THE defining part of X4's aesthetic. The afterimages can't even fade out, resulting in an extreme dog shit and extremely distracting visual mishap, so don't tell me people wouldn't notice

                I played through the Saturn version first and didn't give a shit. I played the PS1 version later and still didn't give a shit about it. It's no more vital or important than the Saturn's raster effects applied to the background layers. They balance each other out.

                In fact, it looks even worse in motion, SO MUCH WORSE in motion because the fully opaque after images are fully suspended in the one place without moving, and then
                in a single frame vanish from existence.

                A subtle heat haze effect in TWO levels balances out the entire aesthetic for the entire rest of the game being ruined? Now THIS is console warring!

                Neither did I. But I will point out bullshit nitpicking when I see it. X4 is a fantastic game on both systems. You can't go wrong with either version. I wouldn't object to it being on a Saturn list nor would I object to it being on a PS1 list.

                Only a console warring homosexual like yourself would make such a big stink about it being in a Saturn list over something as fricking stupid and minor as the after image transparencies.

                You threw a shitfit over Megaman X4 being included in a list of good games on the Saturn all because the after images aren't transparent. That by definition is console warring.

                having the floor textures be a random piece of texture that aligns with nothing, is pure shitty-ness. They could have used a simple repeating tile or gravel texture or something else which would make sense, what they did was objectively moronic.

                You actually do. It's really easy to get lost in Parm on PS1 and the HD remaster, while on Saturn it's a lot easier to tell where you are because the floor has unique paths and roads.

                Thus far you haven't commented on my primary argument which is that it's the source of X4's aesthetic value in that it provides the psychedelic vibe

                unlikely because I don't really give a shit about Megaman. the controls suck too much. Couldn't give a rats ass about the graphics since the controls are so annoying.

                I wasn't the one who said anything about wobbly textures, I simply pointed out that Grandia does look and run better on Saturn and that the floors aren't random.

                We all know Saturn has quirks with Transparencies, that doesn't mean it can't do them though if you know what you're doing. And then there's the fact that meshes look fine over Composite.

              It's a huge map with lots of unique texturework, and all of the areas in Grandia are like that. PS1 never had a chance at preserving it with its tiny ass RAM alotment.

                I am aware of that. But what they did was completely moronic. They could have constructed a simplified floor plan that still at least somewhat matched the buildings. What they actually did is beyond comprehension, just taking some of the original texture and randomly slapping it on the ground with no correlation to the buildings.

          Very untrue, only a dumb console war kiddy would even say this. The only ones on that list that are objectionably better on PS1 are Croc, Mega Man X3 really you shouldn't be playing this on anything other than SNES, Tomb Raider, and Symphony of the Night. Wipeout is also superior on PS1 but the Saturn version is not on that list.
          Everything else will either be objectionably better on Saturn like the Capcom fighting games (even without RAM carts they're by and large better on Saturn) or the differences are so minor that the game is enjoyable on both systems and the only people who would care about the changes are modern era graphics prostitutes.

    Tomb raider on Saturn was rushed at the end, so the Japanese version actually runs comparably smooth to the PS1 version. Game is all in English too except for the fmv dialog. Could prob just swap those around and make a English rom.

          The NTSC versions (both US and JP) simply fix texturing bugs and model errors that were present in the PAL release. They don't do anything for the frame rate. The video you posted is a very obvious emulator capture.

      > I own these games on Saturn and ps1
      As do I. Grandia is better on Saturn than on PS1. PS1 has worse frame rate drops, the floors are completely broken in most maps, a lot of additional VDP2 effects are gone, a lot of lighting effects are completely broken, battle backgrounds are significantly lower resolution, etc.

      The only areas PS1 is better is that a handful of FMVs run at a higher frame rate (10fps vs 15fps, bulk of them are 12fps in both versions), some spells have nicer transparency effects (But are missing additional VDP2 effects), and the audio is *slightly* higher quality (22050Hz Stereo vs 37800Hz Stereo). Sure using audiophile headphones you can hear a difference between that, but going through shitty TV speakers you can't tell the difference. Saturn however has the benefit of the SCSP DSP adding additional effects to it the sound output. What few perks the PS1 version has, doesn't outweigh all of it's shortcomings.

      As for Duke Nukem 3D, PS1 does have the benefit of running the actual build engine, but the framerate is a trainwreck. It's completely uncapped so it goes from 60fps when staring at a wall to single digits by just turning around. The controls suffer because of it and it's a complete mess. When ranking Duke 3D ports of that era it pretty much goes N64 >= Saturn > PS1.
