    From what I read so far, works on Yabause, SSF and real hardware. But not sure if and who tested this on real hardware so far and the results (ie. frame rate)...

    The black borders in Saturn Shining games are stylistic and nod to the 16-bit Shining games.

    True dat. But I always also wondered while playing these games if they also contributed to reducing processing power? Namely because the graphically superior Scenario 2 & 3 have bigger borders then Scenario 1 during those battles scenes.

    Why does there seem to be a lot more sky in the bordered version of Force?

    Also, is Yabause the way to go these days? I don't trust disc mounting software, and the one I kind of do(portable WinCDEmu), doesn't register to SSF.

    Camera angle (look at the ground floor to see this).
