How badass is your PC?

Quite badass.

Yeah, about how badass of a PC would one need?

With this version of MAME, like 8 GHz.

With this version of MAME, like 8 GHz.

I almost don't want to imagine trying it until there are further speed improvements. Given my system (3.2 GHz) it'd probably run around 10-15 FPS.

It's a shame that Saturn emulation doesn't yet have its equivalent of ePSXe.

You could practice your chains.

It's got it's equivelent of VGS, at least. It's out of the bleem! dark ages. It's not too far off now. I think it's up to playing 85% of games with no serious bugs.

Oh, and on my Athlon64 3200, I get 20fps in RSG. Woof. Even for ST-V, that's slow. Even with the best system out there, SSF is going to be the way to go.

Hey, kids, the new version of mame (.103) is out, and it plays Radiant Silvergun at full speed on my system (Athlon 64 3200). So yay and stuff.

Holy crap. Time to test.

Runs pretty well. 60% speed on this 1.6ghz Turion. Should run great on my desktop when vacation's over.

Thanks for the info. I got it and played Radiant. It doesn't run full speed by a long shot. I'm running an Athlon 64 3500 and 1.5 gigs of ram. Boo. I like the game, though.

Now Should I just be happy to play it on Mame or does the Saturn version do something special like sing you a song or something that the arcade version doesn't.

Anime cutscenes and an additional different level layout or some such (it's been a while). If you really like the arcade version I'd say pick it up, it's got a number of nice little things added to it.

How badass is your PC?

Bad enough to rescue the president.

Glad more people get to play it without spending $200+.

It's not my type of game though, too slow-paced and chains are absolutely required to make any sort of progress. At least in Ikaruga chains are only for score, but in RS you need to chain to build up your weapon levels.

The Saturn version adds a handful of bosses as well.

Go here for some kickass RS vids. Although you'd have to put an MMO number of hours into this game to get to be that good at it.
