Saturn Bomberman...

Post by ParameterBreach »

Do EU saturn games work on the US saturns? Or is there not a difference between the two saturns?

Some games ported to the EU saturn have been optimized for 50hz (the PAL analogue refresh rate), and to their aspect ratio. So on the US console it'll run a bit fast and a bit of the top and bottom might be cut off (the aspect ratio thing also depends largely on your TV)... not all of them though. Other then that though, you just need a region switch.

I play the EU version of Panzer Dragoon Saga on my US Saturn all the time... I notice no difference from the US version performance wise.

2D games are NEVER EVER optimized.
3D games are sometimes optimized
Bomberman will run on a modded US Saturn.
Awesome 10 player action baby. I once had a 10-player party. Should have taken pictures. Imagine 10 players trash talking in the same room on a big screen!
Alot of weird and unexpected stuff happens. One time some kind of giant bird came into the playing field reaving havoc! It was amazing/funny/shocking and awesome at the same time. we were like WTF, but everybody was still seriously competing, so nobody could really investigate what the fug was going on.
