Warcraft II Saga and swap trick.

Post by konner920 »

I got the swap trick working perfect. But when this game "loads" all that happens is a black screen. It gets past the sega logo and just stays black.

And dragonforce gets past the sega logo attempts to read and goes back to the spaceship controls. im using TDK CD-Rs and a model 2 saturn.

Im converting the bin to a ISO and burning with discjuggler.


Idk what im doing wrong. Can someone help?

I have never tried TDK cd-rs, but my saturn is picky about media. When in doubt use taiyo yudens.

Try using a different original disc for the swap. You'll get different results.

There might be something wrong with your bin2iso program. Just burn the original image directly with say Alcohol 120%.

It's possible your game images are corrupt. Try and see if they run on an emulator. SSF very good.

Make sure the region of the games match your saturn. You can patch games with a utility, or use action replay.

Is your swap trick really perfect? That means you got other games working? If not make sure you're doing it correctly.

Yeah dragonforce, guardian heroes and sonic jam works fine. This is the only game giving me a problem.

For some reason the Saturn does the security check twice with this game.

So here's what you do

put in wc2.
switch to a proper saturn game when the laser moves.
switch back wc2 after the security check.
wait a second, the laser will move again.
switch back to the saturn game and let it do the security check again.
when the laser moves put wc2 in.

It's weird and this is the only game I have to do this for but it works fine.
