I played some Darius Gaiden today after picking up a Brook Wingman converter, adding Saturn to the list of systems compatible with my arcade stick. All I can say is if you can 1cc this one you're amazing lol, by the later sectors the game gets pretty brutal. You really need to concentrate and learn the patterns of the level to make it let alone 1cc it. Super game though and the Saturn port is pretty much arcade perfect. Two things with Darius Gaiden - first activate auto-fire then follow this route which is generally recognised as the most managable. This isn't cheating. JP arcade cabs had a auto-rapid button and high scores using this are accepted in shmups.com high score tables. At the titescreen Press and hold B, and press Y, Right, Left, X, Z, L and R The route is A-B-D-H-L-Q-V

The rapid fire mode is quite fast - possibly better than your stick's auto-fire. I'd give it a try.
Since the M2 port for Switch/PS4 has come out, purists have pointed out that the difficulty rank of the Saturn port is a bit lower than the arcade version because the rank gradually increases by a tiny amount with each button press. The Saturn port's rapid fire bypasses this so it means that port is a tiny bit easier. However I have 1CCed both the Saturn port and the arcade version in MAME and I didn't really notice any difference.

Completed scenario 1 of Shining Force 3 yesterday for the first time in years. I’ve started it (and gave up) so many times over the years but finally stuck at it.
Now on to scenario 2 but having a nightmare trying to get the latest English translation patch to work.

Played a couple of games on Saturn today…
Quick blast on power drift, slightly longer session on elevator action returns and finished off with another epic chase for high score on Battle garegga, came close but still making it far too difficult for myself on the 4th stage, loads of points to be had , but I can’t stay powered down and not die, and you need to keep your bonus rank high, which makes everything even more hectic. Love that game.

Been playing through a few shooters, sexy parodius, gradius deluxe pack, thunder force gold pack 2, and guardian force. Also spending some time on space harrier, bubble symphony and elevator action returns.
Spent an hour this morning fine tuning my upscaler and picture settings, last settings were for mega drive. Looks sharp as.
Gonna make a day of it and trawl through some classics.

I've been playing Black Fire on the Saturn with the mission stick. Its really fun with the stick and the music in the game is utterly brilliant and also been playing Soviet Strike with the mission stick. I love that game and the FMV is fab for a Saturn game

They have a value, but you know that doesn’t interest me mate.

It’s not a part of collecting I’m into. I’ve seen people selling it for £350 upwards sealed. I think mine was £170, one of the last games I bought. When I started importing games they arrived brand new a lot of the time, opened, but mint. I’d open every sealed game in existence. Mwah ha ha 😂
