I wonder if someone could port some NES or SNES classics to saturn with updated graphics. I don't know much about coding but it would be cool if it could be done. Luckily, there already exist SNES and NES emulators for SEGA Saturn. As for porting in general, the source code needs to be available. M...

Here are some images of Vectoroids (by Bill Kendrick) running on SEGA Saturn. This SDL game performs direct access to the frame buffer pixels. Although it claims to use fast geometric calculations, the rasterizer is poor in terms of speed (performs per-pixel access to framebuffer). The game also use...

Here are some images of GemDropX (by Bill Kendrick) running on SEGA Saturn. The port is basically done, all graphics, sounds and music works fine. It's much fun playing it! Maybe the timing can be improved. This is going to be one of my entries that I'll do for this contest. Of course, as I'm holdin...

SEGA Saturn Coding Contest Porting Party winter '08/'09 I think this might be of interest for the people at this board, too. So here is the official announcement of the new Saturn coding contest: It is time again for another episode of the annual SEGA Saturn Coding Contest. A few small changes comp...

Does such a joy exist? Well, I was playing around with it a bit in winter 2005. The main problem to even get it running is, that the 68k CPU cores are very big in size. When I tried it out back in the days with my old computer, my pc had problems compiling the huge amount of source code, that the c...

Here are some screenshots in the order of the ranking, just in case someone wants to post them elsewere: horizontal version 3x2: http://www.rockin-b.de/c4/2007/C4_2007_all_entries_hor.jpg vertical version 2x3: http://www.rockin-b.de/c4/2007/C4_2007_all_entries_ver.jpg

Finally, the ranking of the entries of the C4-2007 SEGA Saturn Coding Contest has been determined! It's been a very close run in the end, with Gaganoid (by VBT) and Police Officer Smith (Arnold and Rockin'-B) being draw with 57 points each!!!!! The battle had to be decided via extra points. This tim...

The judge-situation is more comfortable than the previous years. I already got 3 ratings and I await 1-2 additional ratings, maybe more.

We are still looking for people who like to judge this years entrys. You need a SEGA Saturn, some CD-Rs and be able to perform the swap-trick or have a modchip installed. If you have got some time spare, can judge fair and objectively, then just contact me via e-mail C4@rockin-b.de . You will then r...

I turned into a retrogamer slowly, almost without taking notice of it. One reason might be that after the dreamcast, there was no new SEGA console released. So I didn't buy a new one since then. Another reason is emulation for sure. I was fascinated by emulation right from the first day I got to kno...
