Happy 31st Anniversary of Sega Saturn's Surprise U.S. Launch







https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBYxlmXxw4A

Sega of America president Tom Kalinske announced the $399 console with six launch titles like Daytona USA and Virtua Fighter, aiming to preempt Sony's PlayStation. The early release caught retailers and developers off-guard, and Sony countered with a cheaper $299 machine days later. Despite selling just 2 million units in North America—versus PlayStation's 102 million—the Saturn built a cult following with arcade-perfect ports and gems like Nights into Dreams.

Panzer Dragoon Saga Gets PC 'Recomp' from the Dev Behind Yaba Sanshiro

The developer behind the Sega Saturn emulator Yaba Sanshiro has created a 'PC port' of the legendary JRPG Panzer Dragoon Saga.
Miyaxdev has released 'AZEL -PANZER DRAGOON RPG- Recompiled for PC', which presents the game in HD and widescreen aspect ratio, removes the slowdown, eliminates 'wobbly polygons', and adds a bunch of shaders.
You can control it with your keyboard or controller, and inputs are remappable. You also have ten save-state slots to use during gameplay.
You'll need to ...

So, the developer behind the actual game, used Claude (or another AI) to decompile their own game to make it available for modern PC?

You're reading it wrong.
It's the developer behind Yaba Sanshiro (the most popular SEGA Saturn emulator), not the developer behind the actual game.

Ah, ma bad.

Ah, ma bad.

I think Japanese game communities (developers included) hate the AI-recompiled/decompiled thing trends so I don't think they'd ever make one.
In X, they are heavily pushing back against the recent surge of AI-recompiled and decompiled game trends, though the exact reasons for the anger differ slightly between gamers, modders, and developers.

Well, as I said, I like the idea AI-recompilation being used as a tool to help bring older or hindered games to more public access. Not as a replacement.

Take my "Golden Axe Origins" or "Shinobi Origins" ideas for example, yes it would take years, perhaps over a decade to remake all those games HD and for modern platforms, while Claude could perhaps do it in a day or two.
Granted, Sega asked MATABOO to remaster SHOGUN 2 for them in under a year, a crazy crunch-time they acknowledged themselves, and MATABOO screwed Sega over by AI-recompiling SHOGUN 2, with vibe-errors making it a beta-mess.
Which is why all the more important why AI-recompiling should be used as a tool than entirely relied upon. Such as taking a day to recompile each game, and the rest of the week to check-over errors, clean-up and put together into compilation.

But, yeah, with how MATABOO screwed Sega over and with AI being such a hot subject for both gamers and developers, I understand why Sega will be hesitant to touch AI for now on.

Meanwhile there are fans of old or abandon-ware games with the "Fine, I will do it myself!" mentality now that Claude and AI-recompiling is available to them.

I myself, am tempted to get Claude and ask it if it can both recompile and make VR "Rise of Nightmares", the only reason why I've yet to decide it is because I figure I need the £15 Pro version for it. But I dunno if I'll end up opening my own Pandora's box over it. That and I don't have a VR-headset yet.
