A new cheat code for the Sega Saturn version of Doom has been discovered, 27 years after the game’s original release in 1997. This newly found cheat allows players to make walls in the game semi-transparent, offering a unique gameplay feature that was previously unknown.

Particularly interesting in that the Saturn had known problems with transparencies.

I'm not sure I would call it "problems", but doing transparencies on the Saturn required leveraging VDP2 and most developers just didn't bother.

Yup. Sega had it figured out and enabled Fishbowl Head in Virtua Fighter Kids, but it was out of the reach of 3rd party developers.

Is that transparency? Looks like the same dithering/alternating empty pixels that all Saturn ports are plagued with.

Oh, but it's what passes for transparency on the Saturn. :)
