I'll send $20 to anyone that can help me emulate this game

I've spent countless days worth of time on the Sega Saturn emulator with no luck....

Well, I give up, I can't do it on my own.

If anyone wants to help me I'll send you $20.  That's enough for a nice lil' meal somewhere or some Steam games.  Besides, I heard Dragon Force is a kick-ass RPG so it's not like you wouldn't enjoy playing it if you could emulate it.

first.. no money needed lol

2nd what emus have you tried(or which one do u use)
yabuse? satourne ? ssf? giri giri?  most run on ssf but some like yabuse and satourne
and satourne is the one i used for df 1 and 2 and I did get it to run on SSF df1 anyway with my real cd.. but it didnt work with the iso (so if ya can find a real copy! or i can send u mine.. but its usa not EU not that it matters in a pc)
I play most of my real and legit ps1 and 2 games on my emus and even n64 games (some require glidewrappers . .even some pc games do like redguard!)

what symptoms you having? black screen? hear the sound but nothing shows up? crashes?

what os are you on

i can get about 99% of games to emulate !

not counting new bs, im talking old school

and yeaaaaaaa

dragon force 1 and 2 rock, and I can run them,


shoot me what info you got trust me I can get anything to run and make it simple for even a kid like my daughter to follow how to...

:P

let me know mate! so I can help ya setup which ones ya got

oh also whats ur cpu, and ram total

oddly some emus esp saturn cd require heavy cpu loads
even ps2 emus dont require that much, (MOST run best when you take a quad core and set cpu affinity to just 1 core also!) just fyi there

so my ps2 emu with my real cd of alteir iris 1 2 3, run really well but if i have all my cores enabled it stutters on some animations and heavy action

post or pm me mate,
and trust me, this isnt even at that illegal phase,
I used to be in a group, cant really say much more, irc era, we made sure anyone could get old games
but it had a year limit, back then it was 1995 or older, then we moved it to 1999 or before
then 2000  that was all we would touch since now adays ips are owned again for remakes
but .. that game nah

no worries we will get this sortedd

1. What emulator works best for running this game?  I've tried several.  What should i download?

2. What's all this stuff about downloading bios?  Where do I download them from and what do I do with them?

3. What do I do next?  All the talk about "mounting Daemon Tools" or whatever always confuses the heck out of me.

All I know how to do is download a random emulator and random bios file- beyond that, everything for me is a blur.


My computer is top-notch- my brother (who works in the tech industry) designed it for me.  So there's likely nothing wrong with it that would deter me from this.

Done and done!

Please write any instructions like I'm a 5-year old with Down Syndrome because I really get confused easily when it comes to emulating this system.  ;)

well seems you might not even know how to use the DT style programs,
which imo is great news
means you dont dl illegal games much :P
if at all

thumbs up to ya!

of course i recommend no one preordering any games that arent indie games, or yall get ripped off

waves fist at fable anni for pc,
"when it came time to chose the option to add mouse to the game, we chose modding over mouse support"
thats a quote from the dev of fable anni

waaah 
sell me a game that says nothing about needing a controller, and then i install it and nothing works.. no refund.. oh the joy

oh and stay aaawway from ubisoft too

i HEART my indie devs :P

Most games I like are really older ones from the 90's- and most of those are out of print these days.  That's why I enjoy emulating.

Anyway, I send you another emulator.  If you'd like you're welcome to post here and, if it doesn't work, just e-mail the responses. :)

yep the reason for emulation in my book is to save old dead stuff, not to rip off new or existing things

keep the old alive!

again id love to spit out the group i worked for, but we walked a thin line of legality and well had to shut down as we had EVERY advent and RPG released since the first pc to the year 2000
all original images all patches and dlcs etc
all ripped by US, all drm stripped no cracks needed
smooth as butter..

most from our personal collections!

sigh ok
TEAMRPG  .. ever heard of us?  anyway shh
ty as our torrents are still being used and some stolen by razor1911  damn em oh well

annnyway
im with u most of my fav games are 90's or the start of 00's during the fmv awesomenessss

insert cd 9! haha

How to use the Emulator
First u have to install Daemon tools or something else
Then mount the game that you want to play with Daemon Tools
Now start SSF with Admin Rights on VISTAWINDOWS7
Then go to Option
Select the CD Drive for Daemon Tools it's FCNO TUN0UN0
If you have Games burned on Disk Choose the Drive where the Game Disk is
Select the bios File for The Country where the Game is made for
Then select the Country
NOTE:
(It's very important for the most Games to select the right Bios and Region)

After that you can choose other option like sound graphics and controller settings
Now go to Hardware and select CD Close
If it don't work select Reset to Reboot the Emulator
and now the Game runs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lhlS342_js


as for where to get the game

well
most likely you are using the incorrect bios for the region of the game
so first is to find what iso or bin/cue you are using
then figure out if that is NA/U or EU or J

again i have the real 1st game, i could try to make an iso of that but id have to get really down n dirty on it

MOST of the links i see are for the Japanese ver (no english so pointless really)
some are for the Usa ver, but no bios, and the one that I got working on ssf (with win7 compat mode) was the euro ver but im still working on it now as it was long ago when win7 just came out..

testing stuff ill get back to ya :P

Okay, so I got Satourne latest version with bios already installed. (this apparently is the most beloved emulator)

I have Dragon Force in the form of two seperate files- .cue and .bin.  (not I dl'ed it and it produced two seperate files- I noticed some games produce multiple files though I'm not quite sure why)

And I have Virtual Clone Drive.

http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html

Daemon Tools has a really nasty rep of having spyware and malware so I'm just avoiding it.

Now, when I open Virtual Clone Drive it doesn't let me do anything.... it lets me "count sheep" and select the number of drivers then press okay but that's it!

What do I do with Virtual Clone Drive and my download of Dragon Force?

1st
dt doesnt have a bad rep of having whatever junk someone told ya mate

what it is, are torrents or illegal vers of it, that people add bad stuff too
if you get dt lite, ITS FREE, and no malware (though the standard adds a HARDWARE LAYER) its not a virus nor bad rep of malware

VCD= bad.. dont use that

i cant even begin to tell you how, its not a good mounting tool,

as for satourne, dont use it..
use what I posted!

all the links are right... in that vid I linked up!

ill take my 20$ mailed as pennies please :P

let me know if you have issues
and urmm

which rom you got (hope you followed that vids links)

almost all bin files have cue files, as DT wont see bin only cue (cue just points to the binary file)
some mounters can see just the bins and dont even need the cue files

seems you dont use much in terms of images .. odd, but shrug
just trust me on this
DT is great,
its the 99% people who use mounting use that,
just dont torrent the sob and get a bad ver, get it from the dev site, since you arent trying to bypass anything new,  its all legit..

no clue who is filling your head with the false stuff about DT sigh

1. click on that utube vid link above
2. there are links in that vid, that lead to  a. the emulator and bios with it b. the iso pages for saturn c. dt lite
3. watch the utube vid, its easy to understand and again the only thing he forgets to show in the video is that you need to change the dvd drive to the DT's drive

4th step is important

4.ERASE THE VCD  did you know how many drivers that thing installs ? its insane... like 8 .. not fun, all bad

so for me when i RIP real cds i use  Alcohol but in mounting .. standard DT lite will work, or if u can get it dt pro

but dt lite is free again from the autors site,

One question...

"SSF_011_alpha_R2"


http://www.freeemulator.com/sega-saturn-emulators

The latest version of SSF is .12 R4, you're recommending an earlier model...

I'll get the earlier model if you say it's the best one but I'm kind of curious, why do you prefer this model to the newer ones?

ok first

stop listening to idiots babble, if you want my help i solved it for you

now ya are kickin me in the balls after I got it to run

1. Im a tech  recovery and NT..  DT is SAFE, its when idiots pack it with malware for the pro illegal torrents that u get issues NEVER EVER from the dev site, ever... you go find me one.. dare ya(yes most legit products have that adware, when you see INSTALL ASK TOOLBAR or INSTALL DT TOOLBAR just UNCHECK IT!!)  ever hear of FALSE POSITIVES? just asking, if not google it.. false positives with say adware/greyware or malwarebytes

sheeesh
listen to reason its posted on a site that takes money for a real product its not MALWARE.. ffs

im betting you buy norton too, or mcafffe  (booooth considered virii in tech books)

annnyway

GET DT

as for what ver i used SSF  I just had my version which happened to be the SAME ONE the youtube guy links

just FRIGGEN watch that video.. it seems you didnt!!!
in the description there are links, u can use that newer one but do you have the right bios's? and files?
prolly not.. as the thing doesnt come with them..

so if you can FIND the newer ver with the many bios's sure u can use it.. i cant so.. I just used what I had..

again... ive used DT PRO, since dt existed, sadly all the forums you link are KIDS being idiots and using bad spyware scanners that see a hardware layer as a virus,  and can this lead to bsods?  well sometimes, has it ever for me,  no.. never in sooo many years

trust me or dont, but get rid of VCD use win emu if you have to but again DT is the best.. period
or alcohol for making images (i dont use dt for that it doesnt rip starforce out to well)

so if you wanted help getting this game to run. ive been playing it on all the things you are warning me I shouldnt.

funny.. ok last time i help you mate,

unless you are willing to take an old guys advice..and know id never lead you into a trap or virii or what not.. you dont trust me and well what good is my info if everything I say you just question..

again my 20$ in pennies all mailed in separate envelopes please :P
lol


so are you willing to trust me, or .. we done?

Hey - this topic was getting a little too heated; Kal and Bad, if you want, communicate by PMs to get this done.  Best of luck, I'm sure you can get this running soon.
