No, you need to do so via sys-clk, Tesla Menu, nx-ovlloader.
You can learn more about that here.




Yeah I'm aware.
It's just a personal preference. I love the NA stylization for the Saturn and wanted to give games that look, regardless of region, while maintaining a jewel case size/icon size


So just did this and XvsSF and MSHvSF both work like a dream with the OC settings as per the google doc table. Thanks so much @Levine91 for your help with this!

I try to build an NSP with the config.ini files provided here. The games boot and work fine. They even save and load states, but when I try to change the button mapping (because the default one is very clunky) it softlocks the entire app and I have to force close it. Any idea as to why the configs aren't playing along?

Edit: Changing the language to English on the options menu and then changing the buttons seems to solve the issue, but it still makes the game waaaaay more crash prone when entering/exiting this menu. Tried to make a save state and return to the game. Softlock.

This does not happen if I don't use an ini file when building the NSP, however. I've built NSPs of Panzer Dragoon and Guardian Heroes with no config.ini files and rewind/save states/button mapping all work perfectly, so I dunno which setting in the config is making the game go haywire.
Finally! This is my problem exactly! Without ini files everything is fine and as soon as I use one I have either the problem you just described, or the game wont even start

Report on Baku Baku Animal. I overclocked according to the DarkFlare video and i maxed everything out and the music plays fine. Yay. Gameplay is still a bit sluggish but I'd have to do a side by side with mednafen on PC to define it more.

Off-World Interceptor Extreme has been upgraded from "Partially Playable" to "Playable".
You will need to use the attached config. No Overclock needed. Updated Spreadsheet.

Does anyone know how it is possible to save the games?
Save states crash the game for me and regular saving wont save the game.
do you use a custom ini when you build your games? For me and the user musgora custom inis break save states and/or other parts of the menu for some unknown reason..

If your config has 4MB RAM applied to it, save states will crash the game.
What game are you trying to do a regular save for and is it via internal memory or backup memory?

How's input lag on Street Fighter Zero 3? I'd like to play it but I really can't do V-ISM stuff with lag.
Dunno, but zero 2 felt a little off for me, I ended up just going back to the retroarch ps1 version, it feels way better.
I don't call me self an input lag sensitive person as I can usually adjust, but zero 2 was weird.

Oddly enough the vs street fighter games felt fine.
