DOOM for Sega Saturn fixed by fans, now is playable! - Knee-Deep in the Dead gameplay - RetroArch
21 • Doom Saturn version gameplay emulated with...
(English below) Gameplay de los mapas correspondiente al episodio Knee-Deep in the Dead de Doom versión para Sega Saturn, jugado en RetorArch con el core Beetle Saturn (emulador Mednafen, el mejor de la consola). No lo puedo jugar en el hardware real porque no tengo una Saturn, sin embargo, Mednafen me parece un emulador suficientemente preciso para poder comprobar las mejoras que incluye este parche.
Similar a lo que estamos viendo con otras nefastas versiones de Doom para consolas de la época, fans están arreglando este Doom para la consola de 32 bits de Sega, el cual está considerado de las peores versiones para las consolas de los 90 del mítico juego de id Software, principalmente por el mal rendimiento que tenía, que lo hacía casi injugable en ocasiones. Gracias a este parche, sin duda ahora se juega mucho mejor.
Arriba tenéis enlace al vídeo que ya tenía probando el juego tal cual, y las diferencias son apreciables, y no solo que el juego va a más fps, sino que además es menos oscuro y el sonido funciona mejor. Aun no es perfecto, y sobre todo en Ulltra-violence por la cantidad de enemigos que llega a haber aun sufre, pero el caso es que ahora se puede jugar sin problemas.
Además, no sé si es cosa mía, pero diría que el juego se controla mejor, por lo menos no es tan suplicio jugarlo como es habitual en versiones de consola de aquella época en la que manejamos al personaje con la cruceta del mando.
Notaréis algún pequeño corte de la música en alguna ocasión, son partes eliminadas por copyright (creo que es confusión de la detección de YouTube).

Gameplay of the maps corresponding to the Knee-Deep in the Dead episode of Doom version for Sega Saturn, played in RetorArch with the core Beetle Saturn (Mednafen emulator, the best of the console). I can't play it on the real hardware because I don't have a Saturn, however, Mednafen seems to me to be an accurate enough emulator to be able to test the improvements included in this patch.
Similar to what we are seeing with other crappy versions of Doom for consoles of the time, fans are fixing this Doom for Sega's 32-bit console, which is considered one of the worst versions for 90's consoles of id Software's legendary game, mainly because of the bad performance it had, which made it almost unplayable at times. Thanks to this patch, it certainly plays much better now.
Above you have a link to the video I already had testing the game as is, and the differences are noticeable, and not only that the game runs at more fps, but it is also less dark and the sound works better. It's still not perfect, and especially in Ulltra-violence because of the amount of enemies still suffers, but the fact is that now you can play without problems.
Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I would say that the game controls better, at least it's not as painful to play as it is usual in console versions of that time in which we control the character with the directional pad.
You will notice a small cut of the music in some occasions, they are parts removed by copyright (I think it's confusion of YouTube detection).
