Helder's Sega Saturn Codes

[iddqd]

ArtMoney supports Saturn emulators: http://www.artmoney.ru/e_download_emul.htm This SSF options contain pointers to the base address with module addressing.
SSF uses reverse bytes order. SSF is the best Saturn emulator.

Emulator option contains a version of the emulator, MD5 checksum, EXE file name, emulator virtual zero address (base adress, start of RAM, RAM base), and a module name, module address/pointer and size of this memory area.

Nice tut there, hopefully others will be willing to give the Saturn a hack or two.

//helder codes are needed as address in Saturn RAM (reverse bytes order) + hex value or just address? Example:
Resident Evil (PAL-E and NTSC-USA)

Hey helder.

I have a request for the game Keio 2: Flying Squadron, a cool shmup that no one played. Anything from Infinite lives, bombs and whatever else you can make would be good.

If you need help finding the game, emuparadise has a nice bin/cue download.

Thanks in advance!

[Helder]

I will look into it and post anything I make.

[ReyVGM]

Great, thanks.

[Helder]

hmm I think this is the game, its the same name and all it starts some girl in a bunny outfit? here are some codes to get you started:

9999 Bunnies Collected
1020004E 270F

99 Lives
30200013 0063

999 Points
10200006 03E7

[ReyVGM]

Yeah, that's the one! Thanks!

[Sketcz]

Thank you Helder - I was the one who made the request that ReyVGM kindly reposted here (thanks also to you good sir).

Those codes will very much come in handy. I managed after much perseverance to clock the game without extra lives, but there's a whole bunch of unlockables based on your final score, so that 999 score is just the trick!

I'm sure this will also come in handy for future players - I thought it was a fairly challenging platformer on normal mode. Perhaps modern games have just made me soft. I was searching Youtube and there's no walkthrough vids, in fact there's very few vids to begin with. And it's such a nice game too. Really lovely 2D visuals with proper transparencies.

I'm new to this forum, but I think what you guys are doing is great. Because something like the Saturn just missed the mass expansion of the internet in the late 1990s, there wasn't (in my view) much opportunity for such things as AR codes to end up recorded online. Most would have been in magazines, which somewhat locks away the information, unless you've got an archive SS Mags in your loft. So I think it's really neat that there's a community of people trying to dig this stuff up. Keep up the fine work.

[Helder]

Thanks, and keep the requests coming! I plan on going back and doing some asm versions of the codes and possibly an Invincibility code to just breeze through the game.

Yabause v0.9.11 is released. Yabause is a Sega Saturn Emulator(SS Emulator) for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.Yabause support booting games using Saturn cds or iso files.
http://yabause.org/
Yabause uses normal bytes order (unlike real Saturn console and emulator called SSF, which uses the reverse bytes order).

The am737.emul entry is:

Yabause 0.9.11;Yabause.exe;1105e0589f68e2b81f4c3fed6a0dc6f2
;Work RAM Low 1Mb;00200000;YABAUSE.EXE+P001F85A0;100000
;Work RAM High 1Mb;06000000;YABAUSE.EXE+P001EC560;100000

Thanks for the info now here is a question: how do I convert that address I find in art money to a standard Saturn memory address? I messed with the options that I could see and there is no exporting of any kind or it showing the actual Saturn ram address instead of the artmoney addresses.

[iddqd]

//helder for SSF emulator, you just need RMB - Edit, check "Emul. address":

To make its working on the emulator Yabause must uncheck the "reverse" and add offset -1h


PS. Also try graphics filters for SSF (d3d9 SSF Filters v0.1.5.4): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ucomc979kf5umrz Unzip into SSF directory.

[Helder]

Thanks, that answered my question. Yabause has built in ram search but only for the hi ram the low ram is a pain to search for unless you use something like artmoney to help find the address.
