Sega Saturn Tribute Compatibility Spreadsheet (WIP)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X4iLL8J5sPMlxr_XbfZ-3f21IF9ni-otn2wwl-4hzsk/edit?usp=sharing


- Includes links to required/recommended configs. If nothing is listed, use Guardian Force's default config.
- "CPU MHz" column is the overclock you will need in handheld mode. If nothing is listed, then no overclocking is required.
- If you would like to contribute, click the "Public Sheet" tab at the bottom and add your finds there.
- If any games are flat out missing from the compatibility sheet, please make note of it within the "Public Sheet"
- The sheet is still a work-in-progress, so keep an eye out for changes on already tested games (Better config, less overclock, etc)

If there are any questions, recommendations, etc regarding the spreadsheet, feel free to reach out.
Top top work my friend

I tried adding to the public folder but it didn't seem to save. The following work well with the std config:

Shining Force 3 S2 (eng patched)
Shining Force 3 S3 (eng patched)
Command & Conquer (EU)

Ahhh...I see. You delete from the public tab and add to the main list. Gotcha. Will continue adding to the public list in that case.

Amazing work by the way !

Thanks but I should add that a great deal of works was also done by @xYuunax who initially created the spreadsheet and some games listed were based off @stranno 's showcase videos on YouTube. Might be forgetting someone else. But of course many thanks to you and anyone else with public contributions to testing as well.

Need some help getting final fight revenge to work. I didn’t realize the config I got from here was set at 1mb. When I noticed that I changed it to 5c and saved it. Am I missing something. This is the config I’m supposed to change if I’m correct.
Edit
Page 5 had the answer delete save. It didn’t work for me though, so maybe somehow the game got created wrong. I guess later I’ll try again.

The thing with Nights Into Dreams is there's more than one US version iso you can find online, the only one that worked for me is the one called "NiGHTS into Dreams... (USA) (RE)", while this one did not boot "Nights Into Dreams... (USA) (DW0453)".

You mean this one working :

-NiGHTS into Dreams... (USA) (with 3D Control Pad) (RE) [English, NTSC, Full ISO]
No, I never tried that one, maybe it's the same iso with a slightly different name though, the one I reported as working has literally the name I mentioned "NiGHTS into Dreams... (USA) (RE)".

Anyone figure out how multi disc games work like panzer dragoon saga?

Save the game at the end of disk 1. Create the NSP for disk 2 so it has the SAME title ID as disk 1 (so disk 1 will need to be deleted). Then load disk 2. You should be good to go. This method doesn't work for all multi-disk games but most. There is a list somewhere in the thread. Probably around pages 20-30

    you can sync trophies

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
