for Saturn: far from it. The conversions are actually rather bad - at least compared to other Saturn ports. The PSX versions are better. While DDP is least playable on the Saturn, DP is a real mess.

isn't the chaining in the psx version of dodonpachi broken? with the bees not being counted into the chain and the meter falling faster?

Have a look "around" at http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 28#p818628.

It seems that arcade perfect DoDonPachi requires the PCB or MAME. The console ports are all viewed as flawed in their own ways.

The saturn port is atrocious, I regret buying it.

Or Instant Brain on the 360 for those who can't run the PCB and don't like MAME.
