issue with sega saturn action replay

[munchiaz]

So i got a action replay recently for my saturn. Just got my second Jap game soukyugurentai. I noticed while playing the game when stages start i would get weird white lines that would stay on the screen until the mission message goes away, and at one point, the white lines just stayed on the screen. Also when you get the warning message before a boss fight, the text is all chopped up and impossible to make out what it is. Is this an issue with the action replay, or something else?

No idea about your specific problem, but I had problems with my action replay when the cartridge was fully inserted in my Saturn.
I had to pull it out a bit, in oder to have it recognized by my Saturn.

this is a known issue with soukyugurentai and non-Japanese consoles.

I seem to recall that you can avoid it, maybe by not pressing a button at a certain point.

I've heard that the Otokuyo version does not have this issue.

It's because the game was half translated to English, and it's pulling up that half translated version because it recognizes the region of your system as American. If your system was region switched you can pull up the glitched version or non glitched, it has nothing to do with the PAR.

Yeah, I had my system modded way back in the day, to avoid this problem.

But the other version of Soukyugurentai is supposed to not have this issue.

Yes, I made this same mistake in the past. The original release of Souky simply does not work correctly in an American Saturn with an AR.

Don't let the above post scare anyone away from the game. The game is still fully playable, as long as you don't press any buttons after the ship selection. The only text that get mangled is the end of stage bonus, which tells your destruction rate.

[Estebang]

No, it still has major problems. Score attack mode is non-functional, being completely covered up by glitched text.

Arcade mode is still perfectly playable. It's what you should be playing anyways.
