If at all possible, ditch GiriGiri and use SSF. Dragon Force works fine in it.

i would like to use SSF but the req is too high, i cant even get in... so i wonder anyone can help me out wif girigiri-gav?

girigiri is a hack emulator and it is not good emulator. use ssf because it is the best emulator out there.

Make sure you are using a legit bin/cue dumped from original disc and not iso/mp3 bullshit converted with the 3849289 useless frontends.

That's all the advice I can give for girigiri. Later Semprons supported SSE2 so you may be able to run SSF, even tho it may be a bit slow.

ok...then could anyone brief me in how to configure my SSF, i have no idea where to start at all couldn find threads that has step by step configuration (prolly im blind) and my 2.8ghz sempron could support which version of SSE or SSF (don understand wats the diff) [pardon me, still very new to saturn emulation] thx to anyone whose willing to help me ^^

SSF = the name if the emulator.
SSE/SSE2 = Streaming SIMD Extensions. Bunch of extra instructions for CPUs that support SSE/SSE2. These instructions give a much-needed speed boost.

Go to Options. Select the Saturn BIOS file you want to use and the ST-V BIOS file you want to use. Select the CD-Rom drive that you'll use to boot Saturn CDs (or CD images). Finally, set the region of the console to your liking. Restart the emulator.

At the next start, set the language of the BIOS as well as date and time.

now i try to start my SSF it says "it failed in read a file", any idea which file is needed?

Reading all this I also downloaded SSF and tried to start it but it also says "it failed in reading "wnaspi32.dll". Where do I get that?

Have you checked 'Use I/O Control (Windows2000/XP only)' in options. If you haven't, Windows tries to use the ASPI driver to handle CD-ROM drives, but fails because Windows 2000/XP don't have ASPI preinstalled.

Or download the ASPI driver from somewhere (Google it), install it and try again.
