Sega Saturn betas / previews / reviews (and a couple of misc betas)

[wheelaa]

Anyone clued up on Sega Saturn betas and the like?

I've dug out my first box (the 'DreamTR box' haha), pics attached, list below.

All of this particular batch came from DreamTR in late 2007 to mid 2008, except the Chelnov CD which I bought from Adol in 05 iirc.

The Werewolf and Chelnov CDs are the original actual CDs that the dumps came from (Chelnov via https://www.sega-saturn.net/chelnov/chelnov.htm, Werewolf via SegaSaturno).

Everything below is for Sega Saturn, except for the three cds in the first pic (Orta Xbox and 2 unknown to me games / platforms)

(There is one final cd I got from Dream, see last picture, an early Tomb Raider beta. But I can't find it right now. That pic is from 2009, I remember taking it out of my 'DreamTR box' to post a pic on Assemblerforums, and I didn't return it to said box lol. I saw it a few months back so I'm sure I'll find it again soon haha!)

Any help appreciated, either on individual pricing, or bulk pricing.

Thanks!

Not sure if this helps, https://builddb.obscuregamers.com/OG_Group_Buy_2.0 but this is prices OG paid for the last group buy. Mostly being Saturn as here.

 

[wheelaa]

Thanks for the link, appreciate it!

Looks like ianoid's stuff, the only rough guide I had lol. At least the sports stuff isn't entirely worthless, well, money wise haha.

Haha, yes it was. Saturn stuff is pretty obscure these days and doesn't turn up often.

Maybe something could be worked out with the other staff to get these all dumped but I can't really do this myself now. Dumpings no issue it's the handling of things.

 

[wheelaa]

Oh, good to know. I got very into Saturn, this is just the DreamTR box haha

 

[speedyink]

May be interested in some of these? If you're looking to sell even. Would depend on pricing too

 

[Diablodin]

Same here tbh.

@WD, how do you see prices on the OG BDB? Do I need to be logged in? I don't see where I register.

an treasure there!
Hard to price any disc, but depending on its from DreamTR there some really good discs include for sure.

Not sure how much help this is, but you can use the Saturn Region Patcher (https://madroms.satakore.com/) to extract an info file of each disc, which allows you to check things like internal version number and date, and also when the ISO filesystem was created (most likely burn time). That alone should help weeding out things like silver discs with final versions.

 

[wheelaa]

Just a quick bump to thank people for the info, and for the pms etc. I have already pm'ed those of you who got in touch re specific titles with an update anyway (the update being the OG Saturn buy 2021), and I'm always happy to talk to more to anyone. Hopefully in the future I have something for you in other boxes haha.

Ah, it's lovely to see so many Saturn prototype discs in one place~
