Soukyugurentai in MAME

[genjuro]

Does Souky run well in MAME for anyone?

It always crashes MAME for me right when the first level starts. Tried multiple mame versions...same result.

Something in a more recent version broke it. The last version it was working well in was 0.129.

you are better off emulating the saturn version in ssf

Though the PS1 version has that extra ship.

And some odd control glitch.

Never noticed it. How to I activate this glitch?

[genjuro]

Cool. Thanks for the info.

I was actually messing around with SSF last night, using it to run ST-V arcade games. Couldn't get it to run Soukyugurentai either (something about cartridge error on the bios screen). Seemed to run Shienryu like a champ though (that one's still choppy for me in the latest MAME).

Don't you notice your ship would randomly 'skate' a bit when you try moving?
Try moving your ship in a 360゜ movement, you'll see it momentarily skate off.

try playing the port, not the arcade version

RUN IT IN .128 [.129 is a slow whore regarding STV], or just use the Saturn [if your machine is awesome, but you might as well use MAME then]/PS1 version.

woah pal it is definitely a lot less resource intensive to emulate saturn stuff in ssf than mame

[null1024]

Not for me. Radiant Silvergun runs awesome in MAME [100%, almost no frameskipping, 'cept at some parts, notably in stage 5] for me, but is slow as hell [well, 85%, but that's max, and it frameskips like hell] in SSF.

Since when?

[orange]

just speaking from my own experience and because for as long as i can remember mame has been ass for anything involving 3d

[fraggore]

working almost perfect for me in mameui64 0.134u1
my pc is pretty good so it might be that making up for the slow emulation on this game but it seems pretty perfect.

I'll try that version next. Does it still have graphical glitches on the shadows and some backgrounds?

Played thru the whole game this morning with 0.128. It was super fast. This game is so amazing, even with the occasional graphical weirdness. Favorite Raizing creation.

I always played the PSX version before, but im preparing stuff on this machine for it to be put into an arcade cabinet, so I'm trying to stick to arcade versions as much as i can.

man since when does mame work good with 3d stuff this is good to hear since i have a new pc now woot

[Fudoh]

The problem with Soukyugurentai and other STV titles aren't really the 3D graphics, but the fact that MAME renders them at 4x the usual resolution (704 x 513). This puts a heavy burden on the CPU and causes STV titles only to run smooth on real good systems. It doesn't make a difference if you try playing Soukyugurentai or Radiant which use polygons or Cotton Boomerang which uses 2D sprites.

haven't played it all the way through so i don't know but it seems really good will try some of the other ST-V games

Last time I tried Souky in MAME it ran slow and there were shadow glitches.

[fraggore]

well i have played it a bit more now level 3 does have 4 big ships with graphic glitches and a few shadow ones here and there but apart from that looks really good.

tried a few others too like cotton and raident silvergun an they look pretty good as well but virtua fighter remix was running slow
