It transpires that the Mac build in the recent Sacred Pools leak was in fact a newer Saturn build than the one I previously did a video of. VBT at Sega Xtreme got this working on Saturn. The scripting and stability seems a lot better now, still not perfect, but much closer to a complete version. I get a much better idea of the proper order of events now, though that may partially be due to having seen many of the cut scenes. I completed more of the puzzles this time. Its still not perfect, so I tried to follow everything in a logical order

- Bumper tells you to go to the water bar. This is situated to the right from where you start. It's a logical first stop given its what bumper tells you to do, but I didn't actually go there in this one.
- I started by following Bumper and getting the computer terminal password from the back room. (You could also try to enter the engineering area and getting kicked out by Ren first)
Enter the password at the computer and unlock all doors. Loot the area, importantly, getting the apple.
- From the start room, go right, a then immediately left. You find yourself in the room you followed bumper to, and if you access the computer panels, a scene will play. Bumper suspect someone has deactivated the security systems and thinks she knows who it is (its Ren). (It seems likely that you should go to the water bar first. Seen in this video, if you take a side door instead, you see a couple of Terats who you can trade an apple with to get a crystal plus the back entrance to the water bar. Unfortunately, this always crashed for me on this build. If you go the normal way, you need to feed the face on the wall a red sphere to get in)
- I then proceeded to engineering. I did the puzzle at the side (Put diamond crystals in the slot). At the other end of the room, the code is 2,3,4. Once unlocked you get a scene and a crystal that orbits in your inventory. (In this area you can also trigger a scene where Bumper accuses Ren and he orders her arrested. I couldn't trigger this, maybe because I didn't do the water bar first. If you did trigger this scene, there is a puzzle to free bumper from Jail in the disc 3 area. You can access that area from engineering at the back. The crystals to solve the door unlocking puzzle can be found in a panel just down the little stairs. Bumpers cell is at the back on the left. She is in cell 3, unlocking any of the others causes you damage from the bad guys you release attacking you.)
- I then moved on to the caves in Disc 3. Raja, lures you there with her charms. A crystal opens the first door. If you go left, you get a video feed to the water bar. As you explore the caves, Inna points you in the direction of some items. There's a structure just through the first door you unlock, put a red crystal in it to open a secret passage and get some more crystals. There's also a growth of crystal (or fungus) that can heal you). The big puzzle here is a big door with a circle in it and it needs one of each colour round crystal. I didn't have these so I ended the video here. I will see how it goes in my next session and may make this a series.
