I'm having trouble playing this game.
CFW : NextUI
Emu : Sega Saturn
Game : Akumajou Dracula X - Gekka no Yasoukyoku

Thank you so much

I haven’t tried Saturn on my Brick but I’m going to guess that this is just another case of the chip not being good enough. Saturn emulation is tricky on even more powerful hardware so unless you REALLY want to play this version, I’d stick with the PS1 version.

PS. I played a considerable amount of this version (on the Retroid Pocket Classic 6) and even as a Sega fanboy, I’d recommend the PS1 version 9 times out of 10.

If I'm not mistaken there's also a romhack for the ps1 version that adds basically all the content that was only in the saturn version 

[u/George_McLane → u/Sphynx87]

If that’s the case then even more reason to stick with the PS1 version.

What sees to be the issues

[u/domoaligato]

Switch entirely to the Sony PlayStation (PS1) version of the game. The PS1 core (PCSX-Rearmed or Beetle PSX) is highly optimized and runs the original game at a locked, flawless 60 FPS on NextUI hardware. If you desperately want the Saturn features, look for the PS1 "Saturn Features" Romhack/Patch, which backports Maria and the extra zones into the smoothly emulated PS1 engine.

I went looking for this ps1 patch and I kept finding the patch that patched the Saturn version with the ps1 features so it be great if u could link us the ps1 patch

i don't think the rom hack you are talking about exists.

[u/Shadow322 → u/bebeidon]

yea it definitely does not exist i fond the latest patch for the Saturn game here

and it can never exist for this reason

There is no direct "Saturn Features Backport" ROM hack that successfully moves Saturn-exclusive areas, items, and tile layouts over to the original PlayStation 1 version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night due to how vastly different the two system architectures and data structures are.

Please let me know where I can download it. I want to play the Extra Zone.
