Saturn games that you can listen to on your CD player

[bargora]

Unlike the Playstation, nearly all of the Saturn's games have audio and/or speech recorded in Redbook format CD-readable tracks. I've tested my collection, and found that among the U.S. releases I own, only Soviet Strike and Madden 97 didn't have Redbook audio. And I haven't actually played either of 'em, so I can't tell you if we're missing out (I picked them up because the boxes were in good shape). Among the JP releases, the deluxe packs seemed to only put the intro BGM on as a Redbook track, and a couple other shmups also didn't have Redbook.

NOTE FROM DP: Our member "Melf" created a very simple "how to" for burning your game CD's to music CD's. You can get that right here:

Thanks, Achika! I will add these into the list when I'm finished being drunk!

Happy Birthday to me!

Ba-dunk-a-bump

[Nez]

You missed Die Hard Arcade.

[VACRMH]

Tomb Raider also works.

[ubersaurus]

Tempest 2000 is also soundtrackable, if I remember correctly.

[shai hulud]

anyone have any recommendations on which ones would be cool to listen to

Daytona USA is probably your best bet here. I mean, who wouldn't want to listen to a Japanese guy (in all actually, the composer himself) sing in Engrish to a pop-rock tune? I mean, it's a winner on all fronts!

"DAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYEEEEEEETOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAA!"

[Half Japanese]

I know with the ps1 that 2 games worked for sure:

N20 - Crystal Method s/t was pretty decent
Street Sk8er - I owe much of my love of music to this game and soundtrack (Less Than Jake, Pietasters, Plastilina Mosh, etc.)

[Melf]

The original Virtua Fighter is red book too, as is Thunder Force V.

[GobopopRevisited]

Is "redbook" on ALL Saturn games you can listen to? I think I'm a little lost, I have NO idea as to what "redbook" is.

I know these can be listened to though, whether they are "redbook" or not is beyond me...

Scud: The Disposable Robot Assassin (which is pretty cool... weird 90s hippyhoppy and rock music and a pretty funny Answering Machine message. Loads up in WMP as the album "Anonymous" by Unbelieveable Jolly Machine :/ )

The Lost World: Jurrassic Park also plays as Music. Pretty nice Orchestral music.

[The Brown Eye]

IIRC, Fighters Megamix works. I loved the soundtrack for that one.

Dragon Force has a short goofy message as track 2, nothing else.

Sonic 3D Blast/Sonic R do not work I believe.

[-hellvin-]

Whoa!

Let's not forget:

Earthworm Jim 2

God I love the soundtracks on both the saturn version of 2 and sega cd version of 1. Pure brilliance.

"Redbook" is basically standard CD audio.

[vulcanjedi]

Hey

I love the music from Astal and NiGHTS Into Dreams.

Track 13 on NiGHTS is super funky.

Off subject:

You can listen to Sega CD games' soundtracks on the PS2.

Try popping in Sewer shark and listening to the Digital pictures' Unused sound:

*Phone ring, or something to that effect - Like "Dingadingalingaling" *

Man:"Good afternoon, digital pictures"

Something: "EEE-YAD-RO-MUN. EE-YAD-RO-MAN. E-YAD-RO-MAN."

[Melf]

Sonic 3D Blast/Sonic R do not work I believe.

Sonic R works. Love that cheese!

[Ascending Wordsmith]

Saturn Bomberman works in the audio CD players as well. The track selection is pretty large too. But the crowning score is the western theme music on the very last track.
