In the Hunt/Kaitei Daisensou - Saturn or PlayStation?

I want to grab a copy of this game soon, but I was wondering what people's opinions were on which version is best? I've seen videos showing the Saturn version has a fair bit of slow-down.

Does the Playstation version have no slow down at all? Or is it just less compared to the Saturn version? I generally prefer to get stuff on the Saturn than on the PSX, but if it's significantly better on the PSX, then I'll go for that version.

I enjoyed the Saturn JP port... unlimited continues means you can see the game to completion (it's damn hard)

Though, IIRC the JP Saturn port has a weird quirk where it boots up successfully only 40% of the time???

I haven't played the Saturn version, but according to Dangerboy, it has a weird animation glitch that isn't present in the PlayStation version.

Yeah, I've heard about that too.

I have a US copy for the Saturn and it can be a pain to get the game to load. The disc is perfect and I can only get it to start up in 1 of my 3 Saturns. I runs pretty smooth when it does boot up. Some slowdown (like metal slug) but it can be helpful at times.

Try booting the US version with no controllers plugged in.

It also really helps to have an action replay to get unlimited continues...

Does the PSX version have that HORRIBLE opening CGI sequence (that's nowhere in the arcade game) that the Saturn version has? Because if it doesn't that's reason enough to get it over the Saturn one right there.

"Foi-er!", urgh. Just terrible.

I own both the PSX and Saturn versions as well as the arcade board and I personally prefer the Saturn because it just feels more like the arcade version to me. I can't really be more specific than that. By the way, there is slowdown in the arcade version as well when there are multiple explosions and other sprite heavy sequences.
