WadArchive Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) I do have two Saturn's, a link cable and a few copies of Doom (US and NZ). A potential problem is the Saturn's are from different regions, one from Japan and one from the US. The Japanese one is hard modded so will be fine with a copy. I will need to see if I still have my second action replay. If I get a chance this weekend I will give it a go Edited April 16, 2020 by WadArchive : english 1 Share this post Link to post
WadArchive Posted April 17, 2020 Run into a couple of problems, turns out I have 4 saturns in various states. 1 US, 1 JP and 2 NZ (one has no psu). The US one might be faulty, it is one I repaired as it had a blown power supply (someone put 240v in it and bang) and it seems to freeze when a disc in it. However the working NZ console only boots the games sometimes and other times it freezes so it could be a crap disc. Will try burning a copy when I have time. Both the US and JP console will boot to the action replay but are you sure the codes are correct? It says they are invalid.

If I can get the code working I can at least try multiplayer against a PAL copy but it may not like that 0 Share this post Link to post
Mattfrie1 Posted April 17, 2020 The codes are working alright on my end. Perhaps try entering in a 0 for the first digit in the code instead? I had to create a new game entry in my Action Replay Plus for Doom as it wasn't included in the device's memory along with a master code for any memory modifications to work. The master code can be found here: https://www.consoledatabase.com/cheats/segasaturn/doom/ 0 Share this post Link to post
WadArchive Posted April 18, 2020 I was able to get the code to work however it doesn't connect. I was using a PAL and an JP console with the US and PAL copies of the game. I do think it was trying to do something as the PAL console would freeze when trying to start multiplayer. However I don't think mixing regions will help. I will need to get another console or try to fix my US console. Also I think my drives are finally starting to die, it was getting more and more difficult to boot some of the discs :( 3 Share this post Link to post
Wesker Posted April 19, 2020 Mixing regions definitely don't help. Some time ago I attempted linking up my original copies of the European version and the Japanese version, and the multiplayer game didn't even start. I had to make separate European/Japanese burned copies in order to have working multiplayer games with either version. In this case I suppose it will be necessary to test the codes with two North American versions. 1 Share this post Link to post
Mattfrie1 Posted June 2, 2020 So I've been messing around with Saturn Doom lately via emulation and figured I'd put together a video of several interesting memory corruptions via editing hex values. Most interesting is that the player's sprites appear to still be loaded into memory at all times and the increase in the game's frame rate when not much of the level is rendered on screen. 8 Share this post Link to post

Dark Pulse Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, InDOOMnesia said: So theoretically, it is possible to overclock the port's FPS if we mess up with the memory's hex values cleverly (and tidily)? No, because that's not how overclocking works. The only way adjusting the framecap would speed things up is if there was tons of extra horsepower to spare that wasn't being tapped, and considering how clunky the Saturn version is, that's most definitely not the case. Worse, a higher framecap may make for a more variable framerate - it's a lot better to have it, say, locked at 30 and have the worst areas dip into the teens than it would be to have the best areas go up to 60 and the worst are still in the teens. To get extra performance you'd have to get the clockspeeds of the SH2 processor higher - i.e; overclock them. That's not something you can do in RAM or with a code change, that would be an actual hardware hack (or altering the emulated system's CPU clockspeeds) - what you're suggesting is basically like saying "Make the program tell my CPU to go faster." Doesn't work that way (at least, certainly didn't in the 90s). And that might cause some other bugs in the code to show up (like how in PSX Doom's case the gravity gets much stronger when the framerate is faster).

Shadow Hog Posted June 4, 2020 Also the Saturn's architecture relies heavily on intercommunication between multiple such processors, so you'd not only have to OC or replace all of those, but make sure they sync up at appropriate times, or else end up in data races or worse. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mattfrie1 Posted July 6, 2020 I've just recently completed a dual playthrough of both Saturn Doom and PSX Doom, and kept a few notes about any anomalies, bugs, or other interesting facts that I encountered in Saturn Doom that haven't been well documented yet: - There's a bug with the sound effects in-game that will rarely cause the wrong sound effect to play for an action. I've only encountered this twice in my playthrough and the bug only seems to trigger if either a weapon like the chainsaw was recently used or if a lot of sound effects are playing all at once. Sound effects in Saturn Doom are written consecutively to one of the sound channels and then left in that channel until it is overwritten when that channel comes back up in the rotation. I'm guessing that when a lot of sounds are being played at once the sound engine will "forget" to write the new sound effect to a channel and will mistakenly play whatever sound was there beforehand. - As a side note, both Doom and Revolution X (The only other Saturn game programmed by Jim Bagley) share the same Sega sound driver as confirmed in a hex editor. Admittedly most Saturn games use Sega's sound driver, but comparing Doom's sound driver with Revolution X's was the only game I tested that had an exact match. I've also encountered the same sound effect bug in Revolution X, where it occurs much more frequently. - This one has been hiding in plain sight for a while now. The alcoves in the yellow key room on MAP14 are textured incorrectly in the Saturn version, displaying two unrelated repeating textures with large black spaces in between them. See image below for a comparison of the two ports. - The Saturn version has a tendency to clip sprites incorrectly near walls, with enemies appearing to be floating in front of walls. The picture of the imp below at Containment Area showcases a more extreme occurrence of this bug. - Similar to the floor rendering error discussed in the PsyDoom thread, Saturn Doom will occasionally not draw flats correctly if far enough away from them. This leaves holes in the floor or ceiling where you can see the sky through them. The two examples in the pictures below show this occurring at both Twilight Descends and Perfect Hatred. - In this interview Jim Bagley makes mention of how he used his own custom WAD tools when working on the port. While all the WADs from PSX Doom are the same, this could be an explanation for why JIMSDOOM.WAD is larger in size than PSXDOOM.WAD if different compression is being used. 11 Share this post Link to post
Dark Pulse Posted July 7, 2020 The mistextured stuff is strange. Was it not properly replaced? It's clearly not an issue of "not in the Saturn WAD" since... well, it's right outside that little alcove. 1 Share this post Link to post
ludicrous_peridot Posted September 19, 2020 With regards to the mysterious SKY20, SKY21, if one were to manipulate the files on the disk to show them in place of another asset, they would probably discover these are not quite sky textures. Also, the game seems to have an asset of a modernized version of ID logo (i.e. more modern than the one shown on game title screen), that I think it does not show to the player.

Mattfrie1 Posted September 26, 2020 I'm a bit rusty on Doom jargon, but if you mean the exploding head animation from when the player gets gibbed then no I've never seen it in Saturn Doom. It exists on the Saturn disc with the rest of the PSX Doom resources in JIMSDOOM.WAD, but of course those resources are ignored in-game. 2 Share this post Link to post
ludicrous_peridot Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Thanks, @Mattfrie1, and pardon the "jargon", this was exactly my question. I am sharing couple of scripts I've written for SCR and CHR file conversion in hopes that they will be useful. These have been authored and tested with WinPython targeting python 3.8.2 and have PyPNG as prerequisite. Some details for running them are in the below spoiler. Spoiler First ensure you have python. I'm not a python expert, so assuming that any recent Python 3 version will work. E.g. I have: >python --version Python 3.8.2 Then install PyPNG if you don't have it yet: >pip install pypng To convert to PNG use the following commands: >python chrtools.py convert INPUT.CHR INPUT.MAP INPUT.PAL OUTPUT.PNG >python scrtools.py convert INPUT.SCR INPUT.PAL OUTPUT.PNG To convert PNG to game formats use the following commands: >python chrtools.png restore INPUT.PNG OUTPUT.CHR OUTPUT.MAP OUTPUT.PAL >python scrtools.png restore INPUT.PNG OUTPUT.SCR OUTPUT.PAL The conversion runs both ways, so one can change the game files with it, below is a test I ran. Be warned that conversion to SCR and CHR from PNG has not been thoroughly tested, but converting to PNG, editing with Paint dotNet and converting back seems to work. EDIT: Also did a dump of text strings from the executable - mostly for HUD messages, but it also seems to have list of textures/patches, so may be useful. tools.zip Edited September 27, 2020 by ludicrous_peridot : Updated zip with an additional tool 3 Share this post Link to post

I've been playing around with Team GEC's tools for PSX modding and found out that PSXMAP.EXE can decode Saturn maps just fine to be subsequently loaded into GZDoom Builder GEC Edition. So I took this opportunity to check how exported MAP14 would work on GZDoom and it looks like it's textured fine. Probably a bug in the MAPTEX14.IMG file for the level specific to the Saturn version, while the map itself is indeed a copy of the PSX one? 5 Share this post Link to post
Mattfrie1 Posted September 27, 2020 @ludicrous_peridot Just ran a check of both WAD and TEX files for Map 14 across both versions. The Saturn files are exact matches to those on the PSX disc, so I'm assuming that it must be some kind of an issue with the renderer on the Saturn. 0 Share this post Link to post
ludicrous_peridot Posted September 28, 2020 Interesting, @Mattfrie1. One other small thing I am wondering about is how Club Doom compares across the consoles? E.g. does it always show Williams logo? 0 Share this post Link to post
Mattfrie1 Posted September 29, 2020 @ludicrous_peridot Nope, there's no Williams logo outside of Club Doom, although the image still remains in the overall WAD. Instead it just displays a black patch where the logo should be. Check out about 10 seconds into this video: Just for the fun of it I checked both WAD and TEX files for Club Doom between ports, and again there are no differences between the files. Looking at both maps in SLADE shows identical information as well, with the Saturn port still referencing WMSWALL for that sidedef. 2 Share this post Link to post

Dark Pulse Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) I've been a few years out of the Saturn emulation game, but last I checked the gold standard was SSF. Of course, it also needed a BIOS to operate (like most Saturn emulators). Is that still the case? EDIT: Apparently so, though it's since been overshadowed by Mednafen (which means commandline unless you get a frontend or do it via Retroarch), and there's also a recommendation for Kronos (which is based on a fork of good ol' Yabause called YabaSanshiro/uoYabause). Bizhawk's core is, FWIW, based on Mednafen. 0 Share this post Link to post
