a while ago i read about sega making a saturn emulator but i haven't heard anything since. anyone know what's up? the idea was to have some kind of subscription plan for the games, which is the really interesting part of it.

GiriGiri, perhaps ?

It's pretty good, and very fast.
Out of the images I've tried, I've had about a 90% success rate in running them.
A lot of beat 'Em ups, ran well. In particular, Marvel Super Heroes, ran superbly, and looked great.

I've considered writing a Saturn emulator. I have access to the documentation and in all seriousness, it strikes me as sort of a gimped Nuon. The similarities really are quite uncanny. I don't think it would take much work to extend my exisiting Nuon emulator framework into something that could handle the Saturn. The ugliest part about the Saturn is the cycle dependent hardware such as per-pixel scroll values!

I have had a go at Saturn emu a few times, and have never got it to work!! I though getting amiga emu was at times a pain, but this seemed far beyond that, and to be honest I could not be bothered to put much time into it.

Hey Riff, I always thought the joypad was the ugliest bit, duno what all that stuff you said ment though

Rock On

well, Sega liked his mega drive emu so much, didnt they buy it off him? All of snakeys emulators have been shit hot. I wouldnt be surprised if he is coding a Saturn Emu.

Well, if he's not working on a Saturn emulator, let's whip him into shape!
