Giri Giri Project redux; available outside of Japan?

spoony · April 11th, 2003

This is kinda old news, but some time ago last month Sega of Japan announced their official emulator for running Sega Saturn games downloadable through an online service.

The interesting thing is that the emulator is none other than the Giri Giri Project, only that now their old site will no longer update and points viewers to the page of their commercial emu.

Some people have reported trying hacked/pirate versions of the emu, saying that gameplay wise it has good speed and graphics, but sound/music is severely screwed in some games. I don't know if the hacking/cracking damaged the emu, or if the emu has updated (haven't checked), but has anyone had a chance to try it out recently? And has anyone outside of Asia tried ordering it from Sega?

Well. tons of people using the "HACK" version some where in Asia right now. From what I heard, it does run many commerical games in playable speed(with sound). Shining Force 3(J), Castlevania, Princess Crown, Dragon Crown, Night...etc work great.

Really old news.. Check my last post in that thread..

Hmm...To bad we probebly wont see this service in the US.

GiriGiri is neat but I hope Satourne will be better since to let u use CDR I guess and I know that hacked was not allowed here. I played more than 4 games on this GiriGiri and its playable perfectly and neatly done in Window XP but you must use iso..not CDR on CDROM because only in WIN98 and I tried that too..not seem to work or maybe I am doing wrong so I use XP with iso for it and perfectly done.

I make a compabilities list to check sega saturn games I dled from to test to see which is working..so far 4 games are working fine. More to come soon unless I will be here again

DB7 · May 12th, 2003

Managed to find the emu, thanks for help people you know who you are

It runs Dragon Force a little slow but it does run nicely, I'm now going to try Shining Force 3

RockmanForte · May 12th, 2003

Shining Force 3 will run it yes.

DB7 · May 12th, 2003

Yep, my pal version is running fine, the text is a little off but apart from that its fine.

RockmanForte · May 12th, 2003

Maybe USA version is better ? I was told its running fine and I dont have it. I know where to dled it but not fan of this game :P

**fivefeet8** · May 12th, 2003

Nope.. The text is also a little messed up in the US version as well.. But they are readable so it's not a big deal..

DB7 · May 12th, 2003

And remember if you need to get to the Saturn's setting panel, just hold down A+B+C+Start while in a game and you can get there with GiriGiri, which is handy if you want to cheat on Christmas Nights.
I'll have to scour eBay now for Senario 2 and 3 of Shining Force 3, I know a little Japanese (veeerrrrryyyy Little) so the language shouldn't be a problem.

RockmanForte · May 12th, 2003

Know how to run cdr instead of use bin/cue ??? I was told that XP wont work but win98 does ?

Let me know about that. Thanks!

I dled sega saturn games somewhere anyway

DB7 · May 12th, 2003

Don't know about CDR but Shining Wisdom (US) works.

RockmanForte · May 12th, 2003

Nono..you misunderstood..I mean I burn the game on CDR already so tell me how to run this CD on this girigiri ? Because I use bin/cue rip to play this and I dont wanted that so I want to play this cd on my cdrom for girigiri to run. How ? Girigiri wont work with XP for CD to run..win98 can. Anybody can run this CD under XP ?? Thanks.

May 12th, 2003

use forceaspi? that's a tool that enables ASPI support in winxp, which 98 has by default...that should fix it.

RockmanForte · May 12th, 2003

Oh..where did I get it ? And where should I put it in ?:eek:

**Kane** · May 12th, 2003

That won't work. From what I've heard, the hacked version of Giri Giri, illegaly avaliable will not support running CDs in XP. As such, as it's only really avaliable hacked..... Closed.

**Shiori** · May 13th, 2003

...not to mention he just downloaded the games anyway, and I don't think it came from Sega.
