[FAQ] Differences between PS1 and Saturn version
I only know of this one diffference, about the 3 pirates:
"Blue Moon's Comment:
There are more events here in the Saturn version (Japanese), where the pirates abduct one of the girls in your army, forcing you to come and rescue her."

I have the game and played it a while ago, here are the differences.
An animated opening sequence much like Suikoden 2 (but definitely not like Suikoden 3's).
Different spell animation (generally less flashy and sort of sucky compared to the PS version.
Longer load time compared to the PS version.
Different mini games-- Marco's cup-game has different rules, Georges does Blackjack instead of his other card game, and Eikei runs an arena where you can fight monsters.
You can get the Darkness Rune and Silver Armor, which wasn't in the PS version.
You can find and raise a cat in Tir's room in the HQ.
Added event where Anji's Pirates abduct one (or was it two?) female members from you.

I have the intro movie uploaded at my site, although I don't have it linked at my site because it can lead to some hefty bandwidth. Please simply do a right click and "save target" instead of directly streaming from my site.

You can just download the opening of Kazaa or something dodgy like that. Plus the game itself has a rather nifty instruciton book in full colour as opposed the black and white. Shame I can't read Japanese. Shame also I bought the game for a laugh one night off ebay and then figured I couldn't actually play it.
So now I have three unplayable Suikoden games. At least I have three playable ones though ^_^

This was taken from RPG Classics website; it's got some pretty unusal things for some games so all credit to them...althought he gives credit to Blue Moon Forum and Clive Van Houten so I'm assuming it just comes full circle.
Design Differences
First off, the load time on the Saturn version is slightly longer, without any of the cute loading screen characters running around. The music also sounds better, but at the cost of more "emulated" sound effects. There is also no circle effect for monster fights, instead being a black screen for five seconds. And finally, the menus are blockier, with the text isn't as smooth.
New Intro Movie
There was a different intro movie for Suikoden 1 for the Saturn. No details are avaiable at this time.
Magician Island
There are various changes that take place at Magician Island. First the flight to the island on Black contain more crisp and realistic clouds. Leknaat's Chamber has a better done effect for the stainglass windows that hover overhead when talking to her. And finally, Luc teleportation is now pink instead of white.
Macro's Cup Mini Game
Macro's Cup mini game is different from the PS1 version in which he uses three coins with no cups, instead of three cups and one coin. The major change is that the coins have to be guessed by which one is heads or tails.
Queen Ant Fight
Queen Ant gains a new attack in the battle on Mt. Seifu which she summons a ring of boulders to circle around a character, then hit them. Also changed was Ted's Soul Eater attack in which he has a more explosive effect on the Queen Ant, instead of the Deadly Fingertips style attack.
Dialog Changes
The dialog said following the events about Gremio and Teo are different. There are also some changed lines in the event before the Shasarazade fortress major battle. Also changed was Gremio's return, including a visit to Gregminster.
Adoptable Pets
In the Saturn version, you could adopt a cat, who you can fed and play with.
Eikei's Coliseum
Eikei the muscle man you recruit in the game doesn't just stand around in the castle in the Saturn version. Instead he opens a coliseum where your characters battle monsters for prizes and expience.
Toran Lake Pirate Attack
A new event in the game has Anji the pirate kidnapping a random girl, where you either pay their ransom, or fight them to save them.
Misc Changes
Treasure chests are now blue instead of orange. There was a new effect for Ted's Soul Eater attack on Windy. And there were different items in the game, including "Darkness Rune" and "Sliver Armor".
