RB's Notes: The .m3u file is used to make disc swapping easier when using Mednafen and cores based on it. To run the game, load that file instead of the individual .cue files (loading will take a bit longer). Make sure all relevant .bin/cue pairs are in the same directory as the .m3u or it will not work!

To swap discs when asked, press F6 to cycle between available disc images, then press F8 to load the selected one.

Is anyone also encounter this bug? I'm supposed to go free roam after making a call to Maria but then this option comes up from the Naming the Dog segment earlier.

Okay the game now is fixed from the Option bug after i repatched the game on my own, replacing the one i downloaded from here. That was one helluva weird bug for sure.

If you happen to have a save file around where this happened could you share it please to see if it's something we need to investigate further?

Could you share your patched game?

Please, tell us if you get the same results or not. Although I don´t think it´s a game issue, more like a problem in your particular Saturn. I can´t test it in mine since my 220-110v power supply is dead rn

yeah its probably saturn problem but it did happen only one time on this new saturn but my old saturn it has same problem but worse

I have now played for 3 hours, and I'm almost at the save point where I left off. Only one more episode to go, and I can continue from where my save was erased. Now I save the file to my Action Replay after every second episode

Beetle is just mednafen so it should work. If worst comes to worst try using the latest standalone Mednafen build. If you need a front end you can look up Mednaffe.

While I still had issues, the stand alone Mednafen and its GUI actually provided information for what was going wrong (It wasn't reading the bio's correctly due to pathing issues) and I managed to fix it and the game runs now. Thanks for the help.

 

[Toppis]

Did you save it in the console´s memory???

I am using the Beetle Saturn emulator on Retro Arch on Steam. Is there known issues with that program and I should just use a stand alone? I used emulators before with no issue but Retro Arch tends to give me some hardships when trying to run games.

From what I know of Saturn in the West whoever was in charge of what games got released did the console really dirty, preventing a bunch of quality stuff from seeing the light of day over here.

Yeah it's weird how the even didn't localize lunar and grandia in the west

 

[TrekkiesUnite118]

I'm having issues getting this game to work. Other English patched games work so I don't know whats wrong.

Never thought I would see the day where we have even the first translated,much less 1 and 2.
Hat off to that absolutely monumental task.

Today´s a good day <3

That would be the result of a bad burn. The FMVs were tested on a burned CD-R on my Saturn I've had since 1996. They all were in spec and worked properly. I'd recommend buying some higher quality professional grade CD-Rs. The cheap verbatims you can get at Best Buy or Wal-Mart wont cut it these days.

Yeah, I use those Verbatim CD-R discs that I bought from Amazon, and the game does work, it’s only stuttering during the FMVs

I also have some issues with my burned copy, like FMVs stuttering and, in-game, it didn't move the cursor for some reason

Very good contribution, it's great to see this saga translated

In the segaextreme post they talk about about the problem with Saroo and the game, and how fixing will likely interfere badly with the english patch.

The Saturn is, perhaps, one of biggest cases in the industry of posthumous recognition.
