Yabause 0.9.3 Released

Posted By: BlueCrab

Well, there's been another release of Yabause, the Sega Saturn Emulator for Dreamcast (as well as Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows). As for what's new, there's been plenty of bugfixes. Most of the bugfixes were for the Linux and Windows versions, but there were a few to the core of the program. No major changes were made to the Dreamcast version, so if you have 0.9.2 around, there's probably little reason to update.

Anyway, You can get it at the following address: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf... ase_id=569739

Enjoy (and leave any comments you might have here).

Saturn Game Basic

Posted By: wraggster

Awesome Newspost from Insert credit

Madroms, who unveiled the Dezaemon 2 Saturn save system a while back also has a lot of info on Saturn Game Basic, which allowed hobby programmers to program in Basic on the Saturn. If you check that link, you can learn a fair bit about a lot of the games released by homebrewers over the years (there have been a surprising number of releases since the Dreamcast came out...), and there are a number of videos as well - all the games are downloadable if you have Saturn Basic to play them on. I'll highlight just a few.

Funny Zone is a Space Harrier-like realization of Opa Opa in Fantasy Zone.
Return of Grass is a rudimentary 3D shooter.
Fake Dragoon is a moderately charming Panzer Dragoon clone test.
Radi Con Boy is a racing game, with a tank as the "protagonist" vehicle.
Tactics Blaze Chapter 2 is actually a real game - a tactics RPG.
Pro Wrestling has charming 2D chunky graphics but doesn't seem to play well.
Hot Kick is a very nice looking 3D shooter starring the letter A.
Casmi ga Yuku! is a shooter starring the Dreamcast, versus the Saturn.
Kakutou Game (aka Fighting Game) is a pleasantly horrid looking fighter with obnoxious stock sounds.
Hien is close to being an actual game, a scrolling shooter to be precise.
This is probably the best one though. It's called Super Mario, and is a frightening 3D remake of the first level of Super Mario Bros. Well worth a look.

3D Mario Homebrew Amazes

Posted By: wraggster

First off this is a release for the Sega Saturn but thats not why im posting this as a full network post.

This Mario Game for the Sega Saturn is coded as a 3D Platformer and to say its coded by Homebrew programmers on a system thats low powered for a Homebrew Console these days is something to be proud of but this release is even more special, its written in Saturn Basic and the end product is amazing.

Heres the screens





DIGG THIS



Its great to see Homebrew like this and especially coded in Basic and for an old system like the Sega Saturn
