Rare Sega Saturn game

After 8 to 9 years, it finally works.

One of the hardest games to emulate from Sega Saturn, the rare japanese exclusive 2d platformer "Super Tempo" runs by first time on any emulator.

Yaba Sanshiro latest update of emulator (Rocknix) finally can run this game. Also Astal works too (i tried a mod and worked, but didn't play music because bad rom).

All these years i tried emulating this on uoyabause and yaba Sanshiro (for portable playing, because on SSF for PC worked with no problems) and always crashed.

Does anyone played this game before? It's the sequel to the 32x game "Tempo"

Huge surprise

Hi, i have the honour of sharing this with everyone: Sonic Mania is in early development for Sega Saturn by a group of fans. This is one of the biggest project on the decade.

And no, this is not a joke. There's a real project coming soon. Here you can see the very early progress:

Some nostalgic time here..

Playing one of my favorite games of all time: Sonic CD ❤️

Having this gem and the hability of playing in any time is a pleasure.

The game works perfectly and even has a debug mode available in-game stages (press pause menu and you can select it).

Absolutely recommended for anyone that didn't play before.

Testing rare systems - Sunday gaming 🇦🇷🎮

For those interested on playing rare retro systems like Atari Jaguar, i have to say: unfortunely, the performance sucks. Every game, even 2d titles are slow and with no clear sound ingame, only worked for fx, not music. Rayman ran slow but ok, basket titles crashes on startup, iron soldier seems to open and show the robot model, but once you reach the start of the level, crashes onto BSOD (black screen of death).

Doom doesnt work, Atari Karts has horrible sound and is slow, maybe playable at like 5 to 7 fps, and Wolfenstein 3D opens okay, but ingame is not an enjoyable experience as you can see here

3DO emulation its also a hit or miss, but at least manages to become a little bit more playable (Soccer Kid runs at full speed but has rare crashes in middle of game, Star Fighter works okay but after finishing the first level crashes, performance is nice if there aren't too many explosions on screen). FIFA Soccer (the first FIFA 3D game ever made) runs fantastic but the controls could be tricky to play on 2026. Casper reaches 55-60 fps, little dips due to how the emulation manages the transparencies effects but you can enjoy the game from what i played on my experience.

Amiga CD32 also works okay, yesterday tried Zool and runs at fullspeed but sound is little lower than expected, maybe an emulator fault and not because of x55 power. Not figured out how to emulate Amiga CDTV titles yet but i think also could work (example: The Town with no name, AVGN did a YouTube video many years ago).

I recommend to those interested, test for yourselves to see if Jaguar is good enough or a mess. And another thing: Jaguar CD is not supported on Retroarch, so no posibilities anyway.

So in conclusion, Atari Jaguar emulation, at least on rk3566 processor, is unplayable and only for experimentation purposses.

Powkiddy x55 Tv Mode - Part II

A little showpiece of Sonic CD running via TV mini HDMI mode. Fits great with the controller. Also installed Sonic CD 2011 HD version on Portmaster and runs without any problems (includes a "debug menu" on options ingame). I couldn't submit this video on last post but i share this to you guys

Powkiddy x55 - TV Mode

Testing TV Mode on Rocknix latest version. Works excellent, even better than my older stock OS from factory: Emuelec 4.5 (outdated now).

Using the mini HDMI cable from my family on 55" TV, i also tried Portmaster games and ran great. GTA San Andreas doesnt fit for fullscreen but Sonic Mania yes, expands to widescreen with no problems. I highly recommend to everyone use this mode.

Also, the Xbox 360 third party controller on OTG port works fantastic. I have this controller from 2017 to today, it was included on a previous purchase i did of a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with Retropie OS (with a Sega genesis style theme case).

Playing Sonic CD ++ (a Sonic CD hack from Sega CD). The newer updates added those beautiful overlays (bezels) for each 4:3 or similar systems

Nostalgia - Harry Potter y la Cámara Secreta (PC)

Me puse a llorar cuando desbloqueé un recuerdo, la primera vez que logré recolectar los 40 cromos de Magos de plata y luego acceder a un nivel que me costó años alcanzar: el Desafío de Cromos de Magos de Oro en Harry Potter y la Cámara Secreta de PC.

Ahora terminé de completarlo. Actualmente no supone dificultades hacer este desafío, con mi edad de 26 años, pero a los 9-10 años esto fue muy difícil de lograr.

Acá les dejo una muestra de la partida, un juegazo que recomiendo que en algún momento prueben, y si quieren contar sus anécdotas para quienes si pudieron jugarlo en su momento 🎮🙌🏻

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Finishing the game for first time in my life. Played the full story with Swanstation core on Rocknix, because PCSX-Rearmed always crashed on Malfoy battle with pals before Quiddich challenge.

I also finished the PC versions many times on last years, but this is very special because i never mastered the PS1 edition due to some harder levels (example: magical chess).

Although... I managed to complete Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on a real PS1 10 years ago during school, worked fantastic on real hardware (with support for Dualshock camera on right stick).

I recommend to everyone play this game, with some flaws obviously, but a very funny game. The X55 handles this one perfectly using Swanstation core

novedades PORTS

Nuevo port disponible: GTA Chinatown Wars, basado en la versión para moviles (iOS/Android), etc.

Al parecer, fue incluido en la página hace apenas unos días. De momento dice que es para consolas R36s con darkOS como sistema operativo, aunque en el foro de github dice que los dispositivos con el procesador rk3566 (como anbernic rg353m o powkiddy x55) tambien corren sin problemas. Aquí les dejo el link, lo demás lo deben conseguir cada uno por su cuenta.

GTA San Andreas on x55

Hi everyone, i finally can play gta sa on my x55, it was a little pain to install it, but thanks to some help from a guy on forums, i managed to edit correctly the game files and launch it.

Works flawlessly, even on my model which only has 1 gb of ram, runs better than GTA 3 and VC ports ironically (san andreas map is massive compared to 3 and vc).

Played during my free time now, because i also studying for university exams now haha

I'm using Rocknix OS (20250517 ver), thanks to that i can install Portmaster games, and this one is very recent. Cheers for everyone from Argentina! 🎮🙌🏻

Hi there's any possibility of porting twilight princess new pc port to portmaster? since the code is available, and the consoles are powerful enough for handling games like half life, HL 2, DOOM 3 (pushed the XBOX to the limits, console more powerful than Gamecube, from where it came zelda tw princess) and Portal (a 7th gen console game)... it could be easy to run a native port of a gamecube game..

Guys, i found something that blew my mind: an experimental (unnoficial) port of Quake 1 is under development for Playstation! what an exciting project. Just imagine it: playing quake on the ps1, after decades without an official port (cancelled at the time, it was officially planned to be release after the magnific saturn version, made by lobotomy software, but was cancelled because the company couldn't find a publisher for release it).
