FAQ

The most common questions answered.


  • What are the default controls?

    • By default, the control scheme is:

      (A) = L
      (B) = ,
      (Z) = K
      START = Space
      [R] = Right Shift
      [L] = Left Shift
      
      Analog Stick = WASD
      C-Stick = Arrow Keys
      
      Fullscreen = Left Alt + Enter
      Show Menu = Q / F12
      
      Freeze Camera = F
      Change Eye State = G
      Play Animation = H
      

      This can be changed in Options. By default, they are the same as any other PC port mod.

  • How do I update Saturn?

    • From Saturn's directory, you can pull the latest changes using:

      git pull
      git reset --hard origin/machinima
      git pull
      make
      

      If you didn't delete the build/ folder or repository, updating should only take about 10-15 seconds.

  • Where are Saturn's files?

  • Can I move Saturn's exe somewhere else?

    • Yes, you can! You'll need these files too:

      [WINDOWS]
      
      saturn.us.f3dex2e.exe
      libdiscord-rpc.dll
      res/
      dynos/
      
      [LINUX]
      
      saturn.us.f3dex2e
      libdiscord-rpc.so
      res/
      dynos/
      

      I suggest copying instead of moving, so you can still update/recompile from MSYS2 without waiting.
      Also note that sharing the exe is still considered piracy, just like sharing a ROM file.

  • Why are my color code textures not changing?

    • When a color code is loaded, DynOS caches it to make the game load faster the next time. If you want to reload your color code, simply delete mario_geo.bin under build/us_pc/dynos/packs/<color_code>/mario_geo.bin and relaunch the game.
  • Will you ever add ___________ ?

    • Maybe...
  • My question isn't listed. Where can I ask for help?

    • I have a Discord server here. You can ask for help in the #saturn channel, and I'll try to reply ASAP. I also post Saturn updates, news, previews and more.
