The saturn ports are on a seperate card attached with cables..didn't you get it with the card?

yes, I have the ports, a saturn pad, AND a converter for a normal pc gamepad, it goes to the lan-looking port of the card...
so have u tried yours ?

Have to confess I only tried the card once when I tested a 486 mobo 😜
But my plans is to test the card shortly on my P133 system and test some games which had native support for it 😀
Unfortunately I don't own any saturn gamepads 🙁

so you got the games that support it? are they the normal versions widelly available?

I have a couple of them but haven't tried them yet....I'm still stuck testing tons of DOS and Sega MD games 😀

yes but are there *special* versions the ones you found? like older 3DFX titles? or no?

Yesss 😎

I think the only games available for the NV1 chip are the ones that came bundled with the cards. Imagine being the guy who paid $600 for the top end model. 😀

The game battle arena of toshiden listst the nv1 as an option in the setup menu. Allong with the rendition verite, powervr, and one or two others from the top of my head. Im trying to find some info on other possible nv1 games, but you can at least add this one to your list.

thanks gravitone, I will definetelly check it!

calling anyone (especially amigaz) to help find all games that came with the card... I plan to preserve them for anyone in underground.gamer community... those nv1 games are HARD AS HELL to find. please help.

I did some tests with the 3000/2MB card that I have...

pcpbench scores a low 24.4fps (no LFB available and mxk6opt says the video buffer cannot be optimised...)

the card has a vesa1.2 bios, univbe6.7 updates it to vesa2.0 but offers no speed increase or lfb (nv1 limitation?) also univbe6.7 breaks nv1 and at least in DOS the display has wrong colors and garbage (tested with battle arena toshinden)

now the actual game test... I see no visual difference or speed increase/decrease between the accelerated nv1 and svga modes... maybe there is a speed increase when using slower systems like a pentium1... (I tested on my K6II-450 pc)
more to come when I get my hands on the windows nv1 games 😀

UPDATE:

it appears than when you hit ESC and the game pauses, it displays on the bottom left corner the current fps... nv1 scores between 22-30fps, and svga from 20-26fps... so nv1 is indeed a little bit faster 🤣

I'm trying to get Battle Arena Toshinden to work on my capture computer (1ghz p3, asus pb3-f, 1024mb ram, Diamond Edge 3D 2200), but it just crashes. Did you do something special to make it run?

The SVGA version and 3DFX versions runs fine if started through Windows. In pure DOS mode all versions crashes after the intro to a black screen. So I suspect this may be a system problem rather than the NV1.

EDIT: I downloaded the Mystique patch and now NV1 mode works! YAY! 😀 FPS in 640x400 is 30 (frame limit)
