Sega's ST-V Titan Arcade Hardware & Software

I had no idea that reproduction carts are being made for this thing.

Have you ever had an issue with the right shoulder button on the Saturn controller? I ran into one. I have to press it more harder than usual to get it to respond. Mine looks like the Japanese Saturn controller that japanese units came shipped with since 94. Talk about cheap and flimsy controllers. Even the snes controller's shoulder buttons were more responsive than that, and the snes controller felt cheap and flimsy too.

the skier's name is Rick Blade lmao

Wow! Great library of classic arcade games!

Have you noticed any quality differences between Saturn and ST-V games? I recently got a ST-V board and began testing

Die Hard the arcade is a special game for me cause my moms got it for me as a gift for graduating 8th grade. Its still a really damn good game too

Kind of stretching the definition of "best" with Batman Forever Arcade, ha ha.

So the Titan is the true system and the Saturn is the emulator lol I’d love to have one

Are these games all identical to their Saturn counterparts, or did the Titan have more RAM allowing for more frames of animation, or other supped up features? Or was the RAM increase just for faster loading? Or was there no RAM difference between this and a standard Saturn?

SEGA fan from 🇵🇷

thrilling visuals and walk through of the logic board. Fun to see and learn about the cutting edge tech back then in this video that made me so happy as a young person back then.

Since ST-V is based on Saturn hardware, I wonder if homebrew can be created for the system...

How much would you pay for a Sega ST-V PCB board?

Sega was weird doing all crazy kinds of hardware, they should had just made the cartridges compatible with the Saturn console, and same for the Genesis cartridges into the saturn, would had worked amazing, they didn't had clever ideas.

I honestly think that if the Saturn was a cartridge-based system, it would have fared much better against the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. Sega wouldn't have needed to pay for the expensive CD-ROM drive and subsystem, taking at least the SH-1, drive, and cache out of the equation. They could have matched Sony and Nintendo in price, and it would have made backward compatibility with the Genesis more feasible if they decided to include it. If the Saturn's cartridge port accepted A/V signals, they could have made an adapter for Genesis carts that had a whole Genesis in it and sold it at a loss since the majority of players don't actually use backward compatibility (see: the Master System adapter). It could have been a selling point of the Saturn, even if hardly anybody used it. I was just thinking earlier today about how Nintendo's so chastised for going cartridge with the N64, but they made the right decision. I hardly ever listened to audio CDs on my Saturn or PlayStation; I had a Walkman that I took to school and listened on the bus and in the hallway. And if the N64 debuted at $299 because of the CD drive, they could've sold almost as poorly as the Saturn in the price-sensitive US market.

Very awesome to see the board itself like that!

You cant beat a solid top down shooter or 10

That moment when I realize that my Hana-gumi Taisen columns cart (that I've had for years) is probably a bootleg and I'll need to open it sometime to double check. I've always wanted to have a HTC cabinet... someday.

I love Baku Baku Animal but can't play it for long as it makes me very nervous. 😀

Steep Slope Sliders (the snowboarding one) was actually done by Cave, a developer best known for their top-tier shmups like the DoDonPachi series and Espgaluda 1 and 2.

Este canal es calidad pura para mis ojos!! Sega por siempre!! Tenes un suscriptor nuevo, sigue así man!

How much this Arcade Hardware costs ?
Can it be Emulate, naaah, i don't think so

It's funny how developers struggled pulling off decent 3D in the Saturn, while ports of the not-too-shabby Titan were perfect and sported good graphics for the time. Die Hard Arcade was THE game at the time. So awesome. Why couldn't Sega make more Saturn games that look this good? Also I don't understand why they bothered with all these ancient neo-geo clones at the same time that Model 2 was turning the entire video game world into 60fps sweet-ass 3d

I love Saturn a lot

I need to play cotton 2! Looks awesome. Is it on Mame?

Holy fuck that’s a damn fine lineup. I really want to play Cotton, Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Deka, Golden Axe: The Duel, Shienryu (Raiden rip-off!), Guardian Force, Astra Super Stars and of course Groove-On Fight which looks spectacular to my eyes. I love fighting games (Japanese ones) and arcade shooters!

Touryuu Densetsu: Elan Doree (or Dragon Legend: The Chosen One or whatever it’s called), I call that Panzer Dragoon but without shooting mechanics mixed in with Virtua Fighter.

can you please do a sega m2 or m3 video

You left out Maruchan-de-Go! Arguably the best game on the system. A bunch of minigames based around making a cup of ramen.

THE LORD HAS SPOKEN

Radiant Silvergun needs a review on this channel. It's expensive, yes, but also a masterpiece.

Be Attitude For Gains.

Hi from Italy, NICE VIDEO (as always) but I have a question:
Why do you say "ASIA" and not "CHINA" or "JAPAN" ? It's not so easy to understand what are you referring to.... Aside from that,
GREAT VIDEO AND SOLID CONTENT! Keep it up!

I don't know why, but i'm completely obsessed with Saturn level graphics. For some reason, it has a sweet spot for me. LIKE i would rather play these games than modern games. Why is that?!?! LOL.

Sega Lord X - you're my lord and savior. Thank you for all the videos you have made about the Saturn. I wish you nothing but the very BEST!!! THANK YOU!!

Had no idea so many games used the same arcade board. Would never have guessed Die Hard Arcade and Batman Forever Arcade are related. Interesting video.

Does anyone know what the clockspeed of the xtal 1 oscillator is?

So why did Sega develop this when it already had the System 32 & Model 2 arcade platforms?

I "came" for the thumbnail.

Where do you get the money for all this stuff?!?!

I'm stunned by how much you've dedicated yourself to all things SEGA. I really do appreciate all of your knowledge!

Have all the Sega Titan game list been ported to Satun???

Hey dude! Check out the pcb cases i just released. Im making one for the STV!

I wonder if there are converters that allow you to play Titan carts on a Saturn or vice-versa?

where is tecmo world cup 98

Anime makes it all better

Now with Wacca there is small chance to see some of this game ported to saturn

Virtua fighter remix felt like a downgrade in the st-v, im stick with the saturn version

I love the Sony battery inside the Titan Board. I know it's not what came inside of it but it's still very humorous to me. Why does it matter if it's the pirated version? Are they susceptible to failure? Can they break your SVT board? Are the PCB's too thick? I don't get it. Is this one of those deals that they're selling it as real and charging a premium? Otherwise...I'm not really concerned that said version is a pirated copy. I use emulators all the time to save my consoles wear and tear. I really don't want to replace my Hi Saturn (as an example) if I don't have to.

Never knew about this.... very interesting stuff.

Great content…. So unfortunately I don’t have the money or the knowledge into the arcade boards. Someone put me on to a kinhank 2 tb drive that I picked up and play on my gaming computer I’m wondering if these games are on it and wonder what they’re under. I missed the saturn as a kid and a lot of that stuff to buy and play now is pretty expensive if it wasn’t for emulation I would never get to play a lot of the retro stuff.

Who is the character in the thumbnail?

Titan is one of Saturn's moons.. so the naming was well thought out
