Saturn vs PC FX; Which was the better 2D machine?

[esteban]

Someone should totally set that up so I can just run it through a printer with duplexing and that would be excellent.  I wonder if I could also use lightscribe to make a B/W print of the disc.

I would love to see how a printed manual+disc would turn out.

At the time I made those, I didn't have a printer, nor a lightscribe, so I couldn't even make a "mock-up" of a the items.

I actually was going to ask Sparky, who is the MASTER of these things, to try his hand at it, but then life got busy.

If it were going to be printed properly (double-sided and stapled booklet) I would have to swap around the sequence of pages so that it could actually be printed + assembled properly (Take apart any manual you have and look at the sequence of pages).

I'll have to PM Sparky now

Nice, but be careful! This might be considered promoting piracy. IIRC that's against the rules.

Long timers like esteban know what's up.

The rules prohibit roms and isos being directly linked; that's it.  Nobody has prohibited scans of manuals, case/disc art, magazines, or the like.

Anyone that makes LeTurboDoodle video's gets an automatic "untouchable" ranking.

Hopefully.

Yeah, the page setup is what I was talking about.  Technically I think you'd just need to have to slice all the bits properly and re-match them, plus maybe add a bit of extra room/bleed in the middle to account for the staple when put together, and on the edges for cutting. 

If you had PDF in the right format I'd think you could just go to Staples/Kinkos and say, "color print this PDF double-sided" then you'd get all the pages and all you'd need to do is cut out/assemble them by hand.

Just to reiterate on my 3rd party host point, this is from the "Fighting Street" section rules...



"Welcome to the Fighting Street forum - Only two rules (updated 8/31/10)
« on: March 25, 2009, 11:02:15 PM »
Welcome to the Fighting Street area of the pcengine-fx.com forums.  Here you are encouraged to have heated debates, rants, raves, or whatever else you may have on your mind.

Only have two rules:
#1: No porn.
#2: No links to illegal materials (warez/ISOs/roms/etc/torrents/etc).

Posting of said materials can get me in trouble with my web host so I'd appreciate it if these items remain off of the forums."

The sky is falling!  The sky is falling! 

This forum has existed in pretty much identical fashion for years and years without your sage advice.  If the site owner is okay with how it's going, you should be too; you've tossed in your two cents, so just let it go.

That was the last I was going to say of it anyway. But yeah, it's still a genuine risk.

So little to talk about with the PC-FX that people have to scare up prophecies of site closure over manual and disc cover scans. Phew.

Do you have legal permision to use that artwork for your avatar and how did you legally obtain the raw pixelart?

Fair use.
Legality isn't my point. A 3rd party host's EULA and/or T&Cs is. None of which are a legal document outside of disclaimer.

Now can we please stop arguing about this shit? I only mentioned it because I've seen the sort of crap hosts will suspend or ban accounts for.

Cutey Honey FX, of course! But that's more softcore* than anything.

*edit: ecchi.

Gotta get my weeb terms straight, for the good of the internet.

Sega Saturn by a mile, with the 4mb ram cart, the SNK fighters ran very smoothly better than the PSX.. RPG's that come to mind: Panzer Dragoon Saga and Tengai Makyo IV... Great character animations, FMV's, load times etc..

...and Tengai Makyo IV is still a $2 game.
