The single problem I have with playing "NiGHTS Into Dreams" on emulator are slow FMVs :angry: And sometimes the game itself slows down, but I stilll can play and game never crashes. I actually wish to play a "normal" version now (that's to say, "real"), but what really bugging me is a question: Why didn't they port this game to DC? :blink:

I think it's because of what Shinaraz wrote about in her last post: the extra chip Sega inserted into Saturn.

You don't?

If FMVs are playing slowly then I'd suggest your CD drive isn't quick enough.

If you use SSF, try turning "Auto Field Skip" off on the Screen tab of the options. Might help if things are slow, but for me it makes the game play at about 1.5x normal speed. Fun but a bit too fast, lol.

My hope is that they expand on the number of FMVs in JoD.

Hopefully not toooooo many FMVs and if they do no loading screens between each FMV. Man that was so annoying in Sonic 360/PS3.

Agreed. I'm supposed to enjoy them, not go "Another one? I only played one minute!"

Yeah..I'd rather have more gameplay. It's more healthy..but only if its GOOD gameplay.

If the gameplay sucks, (which it WON'T) then just load the game up with tons of FMV. ^_^

Then it might be more like an interactive movie....

SSF runs NiGHTS great on both my laptop and desktop (both have got dual core CPUS [Core 2 Duo T5600 and Core 2 Duo E6600]). The controller on my saturn has gone walkabout, so I had to rig up NiD to run on my PCs, and using an XB360 controller and configuring it into analogue mode, and it works a treat too. I actually beat the whole game using SSF as well. Even the FMVs run flawlessly. My old Athlon 64 3200 ran NiGHTS ok, but in the 4th mare of Splash Garden, it slowed down to buggery.

Heck, Satourne runs like crap, and Yabause won't start NiGHTS full stop.

But no matter if NiD is on an emu or a real Saturn, it's still NiGHTS.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure emulation is illegal whether or not you own the game, and I know for sure that the "24 hour" rule is complete nonsense. XD

Anyway, back to the original topic. :D

I probably failed on Gillwig the first time I played against him, because I was like, what, 6 years old? XD

How exactly can one manage to play a NiGHTS emu on a comp? It seems like it would be impossible to play it properly using a keyboard...

Can someone post a list of things needed and intructions to get NiGHTS on emulators? Because I have tied almost everything... And it makes me want to kick my kittens! Or my head will explode from it eventually. Help?

Oh. Reala57, all you need is a special lithium battery to fix your memory card on your Saturn 8D!

I can go get instructions if you want 83.

Keyboard??? PFFFFTTTT That's what the Xbox 360 controller is for. At least it's got the analogue triggers and two analogue thumbsticks.



To Reala57, the Saturn uses a CR2032 battery, just like those found on PC motherboards and they can be found in camera shops and supermarkets.

Instead of playing NiGHTS Emu with a keyboard, try picking up a USB controller. You can use it for NiGHTS, as well as other emulated games, like PSX and N64 games.

I tried out a Saturn emulator once, Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic Jam worked perfectly right off the disc, so I tried NiGHTS, and it went so ungodly slow, it wasn't even funny. The music was playing at full speed, but it was running at about 5 frames per minute. It was insane. I'm happy with my Saturn, anyway...

What emu were you using, and also what's the specs of your computer?

And trust me, NiGHTS is a very graphical intensive game.

Here's NiGHTS running on my laptop. I had a game of NiGHTS when I was on my way home on the train because carring a Saturn while on the train is rather awkward.

Specs:
* ASUS A8JP
* Core 2 Duo T5600 Merom
* 2GB RAM
* ATI Mobility Radeon X1700
* Windows Vista Ultimate x64
* SSF 0.09 prototype
