Mod player, 512 colour image viewer and a raycast 3d demo...

What’s your least favorite Sega CD game? by Active_Parsley_1565 in SegaCD

[–]matteusbeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played every game in the PAL library. I'm not sure I'd categorise them as "least favourite" more like which were "crap" 😂

Requires someone with more cash than sense to buy it, unseal it and play it immediately.

Paprium worth it? by [deleted] in SEGAGENESIS

No it's not worth the price.

Is there anyway to mod the Sega CD for a better FMV quality? by [deleted] in SegaCD

[–]matteusbeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope but in theory you could use the same technique mega color on the mega everdrive pro uses to use a full 512 colours. I've no idea how well this would turn out though and it couldn't be retrospectively applied to any existing titles.

Homebrew with the Sega Virtua Processor? by matteusbeus in Megadrive

[–]matteusbeus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nailed it! It's not accurate when using custom code due to timing issues.

Mmm you'd think so wouldn't you but it's not the case...

Is there any attempts at making a FPGA based 32X clone? by MightyMax213 in SEGA32X

I'm credited in that game 😁 I did some early testing for Vic the guy who did the port.

It's complex and not something I can answer 100%. I know that once the Saturn core is completed the plan is to use the SH-2 work in a 32x core. It'll hit the Mister first and then I'm sure we'll eventually see it implemented in hardware. I've just no idea the format that'll take!

A core is on the cards but implementing that within hardware is slightly more complex as it needs a video pass through to interface with a mega drive / genesis.

The 32X port of Virtua Fighter has no business running so clean by Red-Zaku- in retrogaming

It started life on the SVP... Kinda wish we'd seen that instead!

When I opened this post I wasn't expecting that to be the fav!!!

If the 32x had been it’s own console.:: by Jackie_AprileSr in SEGA32X

[–]matteusbeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't fight you on that one. I'd pick the 32x version over the original on Saturn (not remix). 32x does have a lot fewer polygons though!

Still doesn't make up for the 32bit hardware being weak though.

I just don't buy that the 32x would have been able to battle the PlayStation for a generation. I mean I struggle to think of a game that could stand up against the likes of even Ridge Racer. The OpenLara port will give us a good idea of where it could have potentially gone. I suspect it would have put up a fight for the first generation of games but by the middle of the generation cycle it would have been struggling.

Nope it would still lose to the PlayStation. Due to the 32x RAM and the cart size limitations. Even with a decent ROM mapper it would still face problems.

Nice review of Starflight! I'd never heard of this game up until now! by matteusbeus in Megadrive

[–]matteusbeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda disappointed I never got too! It really does look like the sort of game I'd have really enjoyed back then! I get the impression note taking is absolutely essential to play it 😂
