This is really impressive work! Will we ever see Goldeneye on the Saturn?

[@panzerdragonlegend6664]

Oye Frogbull Porque Leí por Sega Retro Another possible method is some kind of software transparency approach, programming the CPU with software code

[@NaiAdventure]

The transparency is looking so good for the Saturn!

[@Frogbull55]

mas o Saturno não pode fazer transparência! 😂

[@hunterduker2372]

​@@Frogbull55kkk boa

[@Mr_x_19922]

Running smoothly now

[@panzerdragonlegend6664]

Beautiful, extremely beautiful the Fog effect 🌫️ Bella Frogbull

Thanks! VDP2 Powwwwhoaaaaa!

​VDPs2 Thanks Thank you so much 🫂​@Frogbull55

Frogbull, el trabajo que haces con Saturn me maravilla, ojalá alguno de estos proyectos pueda ser terminado porque de verdad los llevas de manera genial, digno de las compañías de entonces sino es que mejor. Un port que revolucionaría la comunidad, el homebrew y que marcaría un hito histórico sería street Fighter 3rd Strike para Saturn. Es un juego que aún sigue vivo y cuya aparición en la mejor máquina para el género se esperaba en su momento y pienso que hoy sería noticia a nivel mundial. Espero lo consideres y nuevamente felicitaciones.

[@Motwera]

Impressive to finally see a proper level being ported, for feedback sake, there's a little too much fog and controls do need some refining, but otherwise I hope you can continue working on it!

[@Mitsuraga]

Yeah, the fog is a little overbearing, but I know very little about Crash, so maybe it's supposed to look that way.

[@cuervorockero]

Transparency!

[@MegaManNeo]

1:45 the stage that nightmares are made of, now on SEGA Saturn! 🤣 Keep going, the progress of your ports is very interesting to follow!

[@Frogbull55]

Forget monsters under the bed; the real nightmare was those bridge levels 🤣

[@cpiep]

Amazing! Controls look rough though. Would be a dream come true to see this completed.

[@chevalierkraken]

This engine would be great for a saturn port of Sonic adventure

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

I'd like to see Tenchu or Bushido Blade!

[@Mitsuraga]

I second Tenchu! I'm pretty confident that the Saturn could handle a competent port of that one.

[@DreamcastFreak]

Thank you for using vdp2 in smart ways! That fog is so cool!!!

[@PandaMoniumReviews]

WOAH!!!

[@vinnyaragorn]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

[@Frogbull55]

Obrigado!

[@iPlaySEGA]

VDP2 Fog! ♥

[@TheRetroMartin]

That's runs really smoothly (I know there's lack of enemies etc) the amount of mist on Road to Nowhere is more than the PS as well from what I can remember and the fact it's still not chugging is damned good. Great showcase as always Frogbull!

[@moosetrack7]

Dang Frogbull did it again! some real Sega Saturn love.

Thanks!

Thanks and Happy New Year!

You did it again!

Impressive as always! :)

Cool man

[@NaiAdventure]

This is looking so great 😍😍😍 Congratulations bro!!!

[@cooiolhh8955]

Wow!

[@arcadehispano877]

What an awesome work! Congrats

[@flink1231]

Great stuff! Any chance we get to see the first level? (Even if the frame rate takes a bit of a hit)

[@delta-island4368]

Félicitations, FrogBull ! Cette vidéo prouve à quel point tu connais bien l’architecture complexe de la Saturn et que tu sais comment l’exploiter.

[@Frogbull55]

Merci! Même si la bête reste encore bien mystérieuse pour moi 😅

[@cooiolhh8955]

Sega4life!

[@denraimei32]

Woah!

[@Toi_Viciao]

Impresionante trabajo!!!

[@rh8560]

Wow this is amazing

[@IlJokerTheStranj]

These tech demos are very impressive. Are you planning a full game for the Saturn any time soon?

[@polynektar]

love it.

[@daxmoney5011]

I have had a sega saturn for years I had one game I lost which was Kroc now I have something to use it for LOL

[@Mr_x_19922]

Nice! now bring Mario 64 to the Saturn

[@CostenaroPlay]

Amazing!!! 😉👍

[@carloscuello8814]

Genius! By the way, the Fog seems more inmersive than in the original!

[@Frogbull55]

Maybe a bit too much, but the bridge levels are all about difficulty 😈🤣

[@slashrose3287]

@@Frogbull55 That's impressive for sure... VDP2 layer?

[@Frogbull55]

@@slashrose3287 Yeah the fog is handle by the VDP2

[@retroboy-fh1ji]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AndyDo]

Does patreon support get access to the demo? I help with a retro channel and would love to feature it by way of MiSTer. Excellent work! I've done some assembly on Saturn and it's mindbending. Post-execute calls for the Hitachi chips are so weird. I respect the commitment to getting new stuff onto the platform a ton!

[@Junior_JRproDC]

Show 👍

[@retrodeveloper9156]

HOW did you make this look BETTER than the PS1 version?

[@GigaLem]

I can tell this is very early but the graphics do look perfectly transferred from the PlayStation. I will say my biggest criticism is Crash's weight and speed. Crash moves at a set speed from the get go without an need to build it up. The Homebrew shows him feeling heavy with a high jump doesn't look fun to use. I'm no programmer by any means, take what I say with a grain of salt, I know Sega Saturn stuff is hard to work from what I've heard with but I feel Crash's Weight and speed should be adjusted to try to match that of the Playstation original.

[@esdrasrigolao9527]

Eu realmente gostaria de ter uma iso demo para testar no Saturn, ficar so nos vídeos uma hora o pessoal vai deixar de acredita.... Ja vi história parecida no passado!

[@SoliderBoy]

Dude how are you able to port not only gta 3 but also crash dont you have a job very cool

[@Frogbull55]

I'm late in my pro work 🤣

[@YujiNanaya]

That's some really cool stuff. Have you considered something like a King's Field or Shadow Tower conversion? Curious how the Saturn would handle a, mostly, fully polygonal first person dungeon crawler.

[@Frogbull55]

Thanks but I've already started too many projects, I need to slow down a bit, especially now with GTA 3 Dreamcast which wasn't planned at all 🤣

[@YujiNanaya]

@@Frogbull55 Everything at your own pace! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

I'd love to see Mischief Makers on the Saturn!

[@dnmstarsi]

Sonic's Ass for the Sega Saturn.

[@ofmannotmachine3012]

Cool and all, but none of these are ever gonna get finished for the general public to enjoy.

[@joshuasanderson7359]

But can you run on the rope? Ha ha ha

[@Frogbull55]

If only I had known this as a child 😆

[@tomianz-1242]

Lol, I also managed to find out on my own 🤣

[@سارةحراشية]

How do I download the game?

[@KISSbestfan]

👁👁

[@JoaoHenrique-uz3bs]

They are decompiling the PS1 crash 1, wouldn't it be quicker and easier to port the PS1 version when they do than to redo it from scratch for Saturn?

[@Frogbull55]

The Saturn is a console with an architecture that differs a lot from the PS1 I will probably take inspiration from the decompilation project, especially for the controls (if possible) but I couldn't directly port the PS1 version to Saturn 😉

[@CarlosOliveira-xi7ri]

É um estudo ou pretende seguir o porte para Saturn?

[@athos5359]

what about vdp1 lack of fillrate,is that the reason why the framerate is lower than on ps1?

[@martyx4636]

how did you get the aku aku theme in high quality?

[@ErdrickHero]

Is this a decomp/source port or a new engine?

[@Frogbull55]

It's based on my MGS Saturn that is based on XL2's Z-Treme Engine

[@nprocopi1231]

Would you be interested in Crash Team Racing? They have a massive decomp effort and partial PC port, they could use all the help they can get, and you're certainly an expert!

[@ErdrickHero]

Did you cheat and use redbook audio? Crash music is supposed to loop cleanly.

[@deahuwu]

bad jump
