Sonic X-treme STI Engines, Saturn, PC, Win95-PC+NV1, +V37 Level Editor

is there any sort of data on how the levels should go? some sort of level select? how will it be implemented in pc/saturn?

 

Holy shit, so a fisheye lens with decent FPS was possible on Saturn? Wow!

 

Late to the party, but seriously, props to all those who were involved in getting this up. Amazing to see a piece of Sonic history brought back to life like this!

 

This is amazing!! The other releases have been great as well, but... I'm still in awe at the fact that this has been done! I never had a Saturn as a kid so I never knew its actual limitations, but for the past several years I've been under the impression that the fisheye lens effect just couldn't be done on the Saturn. The load times are bad and everything's in a very basic state, but now we have proof that it could be - and even was - achieved!

 

There is really no valid technical reason to believe the Saturn couldn't handle a fisheye lens effect; it is really very, very simple to code, and needs marginally more CPU cycles in the polygons perspective transform...

 

Wow, that was certainly quick releasing a Saturn build.

I have downloaded and will be trying on my Rhea board equipped Saturn later :-)

(Rhea is the CD drive emulation board for Sega Saturn that Deunan made)

 

I found his website through the assemblergames forum a couple of years back. I have bought a GD emu board off him for my Dreamcast and last year he released a few Rhea boards for Saturns. They are pretty amazing and both work faultlessly. (the GD rom board pretty much eliminates load times on most games)

His orders are very limited and theres usually a waiting list.

I will let you know how it runs on the Rhea later and if the loading times are improved.

 

Absolutely amazing work! Especially estatic to see a Saturn build out there; nothing short of incredible work.

Disc swapping with the Saturn seems rather... strenuous, to say the least; but if I do ever manage to get it running on my Saturn, I'd be glad to capture some non-offscreen footage with my capture card (unless you folks already have that sorted!).

 

I do not have a capture card, and I don't expect to purchase one if anybody else can capture good quality videos...

Cheers,

Jolly

 

Jollyroger should be hired by SEGA to help M2 port X-Treme to the 3DS, as part of their SEGA lost 3D Classics. =P


Hey, gameplay aside, this game would look amazing on 3D.

 

Noice. You guys keep trucking along and keep going further than I ever expected you to. "it would be nice to have" turned into "actually happened."

 

I've been trying to back port some of the later leaked levels with little luck. Has anyone else had success with this?

 

If it's requested, I'll be more than willing to do the deed of disc-swapping an ISO for the Saturn and capturing the video.

 

It would be great to have some good quality videos captured; the engine it's in a poor state right now though, as I am sure you can see, so I would wait until we can get it to a more reasonable shape.

It will take a lot of work to fix, so please be patient...

Almost got the Blue Ocean maps to operate properly on v040. Need to figure out why the side textures are rotated 90 degrees still. Is there no background texture support in v040 right now?
