[Tutorial] Sega Saturn Emulator Setup

[gigapig]

I'm using an xpadder profile and wireless 360 controller so my controls will probably be different.

[Dogway]

hello gigapig, yes I know about that option, but that's calling for "input" lag.

wireless+LCD+DX+Xpadder(?) = lag nightmare

I recently read that DirectX rendered games had a driver overhead lag (compared to opengl), I ignore which emulators run on what for many of them but I presume xpadder adds (even if minimum) to the already problematic equation.

Ideally (discarding the real thing) the setup should be:

Wired+LCD(Game Mode)+GL+BuiltIn Joystick mapping

And still you would suffer from some lag I'd swear.

[gigapig]

You may be correct, but lag is not something I've ever noticed.

I can post pad mappings for you to try, but obviously they may not work.

If I use Direct input the cursor constantly moves, thats why I used xpadder.

[Dogway]

The cursor moves? How's strange.

Maybe you play rpg or adventure games.

In games like 3rd Strike you only have 1 or 2 frames (15 or 30ms) to parry an attack.

Your inputs would not correspond to mine since you use a Wireless pad IIRC they have different scancodes, but thanks for the help!

[Dogway]

Maybe someone can help.

On SSF input lag is especially critical, just read here.

edit: ok guys, just sorted it out... [edited out due lack of interest]

This didn't get Sonic R any more playable lol. Is the real game so bitchy to manouver? :S

Anyways, I have more more and more problems with many emus. But I think they are more module related. Like hang at exit, alt+tab to other windows, hyperspin video still playing at background... etc

@Hypnoziz:

Just a quick "Thank you!" for the hint with the .cue files in the first post!

I hade renamed my rom before to match the HyperList .xml file, but hadn't thought of the info in the .cue file. So SSF would't mount the image, there was only a black screen...

Now I'm up and running SSF! Thanks!

Is there a keyboard shortcut that is mapped to save and load state in SSF? I can't seem to find anything other than the menu commands, which would require pressing Alt first.

Contary to what the menu says for load and save states (L) & (S) it's actually F7 to load and Shift-F7 to save. When you press either of those you need to select a slot from 0-9.

Good to know. I can set up JoyToKey to press F7 + 0! Thank you.
