Guardian Heroes (Saturn..)

[hack.fool]

does anybody thinking about a Guardian Heroes (amazing Saturn game) port...
I suppose we need a saturn emu first,
but 2D game like Guardian heroes maybe can be ported to a psp like Beat of Rage..
what about..

[Malksta]

Oh... guardian heroes on the psp would be AWSOME! hope it can be ported

[JKKDARK]

Oh, I love this game

Read the sticky

No source=No port.

BUT, you could make a clone.

[hack.fool]

I haven't find a source for this one..
this doesn't mean the source don't exist..
simply posting my porting Idea,
hoping someone that love Guardian heroes like us
make something..

[yaustar]

It was made by Treasure (who are still going) therefore there is no legally available source.

As always, a clone is possible though.

[hack.fool]

maybe an emulator can resolve this matter...
think about Sega Rally or Panzer Dragon running on psp screen...
if sony release psOne emu, a saturn emu is about the same thing..
sorry but I don't know too much about code so
I don't know if it's possible...

[JKKDARK]

No, a saturn emu will be very hard.

[hack.fool]

yeah, hard is not impossible..
with coders like Zx-81 or NJ, everything is possible..

[yaustar]

Nope, it WILL be impossible. I will even put money on this. The Saturn hardware was a pain in the ass to even develop for thanks to the complex and powerful architecture. There is only one or two PC emulators that I know of that can emulate the Saturn (and I am not even 100% sure if they are legal) not to mention they need a stupidly powerful PC to run smoothly.

The n64 emulator is only possible because the architecture of the PSP and N64 is similar enough to even run at a reasonable speed.

The Saturn is NOT about the same as the PSX, it is vastly more complex and had much more custom hardware (not to mention it was designed for 2D rather then 3D).

In short, Saturn emulator is impossible to get at a runnable speed.
