/vr/ - Retro Games

Starting with an obvious one.

Stupid question, maybe you guys can shed some insight: Why did the Sega Saturn use two Hitachi SH-2 processors that nobody knew how to program? Why didn't they just use one 68LC060 or 68EC060? I know the 68K is CISC, but the 060 was a beast and Sega had over a decade of experience programming for the 68K. The transition from Genesis to Saturn would have been stupid easy, and one 68060 at 50 MHz would have been better than two SH-2s at 28 MHz each, no?

Yes, use stylish black consoles instead of piss stained grey ones.

what’s the latest progress on saturn copy protection/modding? i’ve been waiting on that usb thingy since forever

>every sonic game was a genesis port
>no streets of rage game
>awful shinobi game
>virtually no sequels to popular genesis games
>3rd party developers were too busy making games for the ps1 and n64
literally what is there to play on this piece of shit?

This is a really good console; just not a very good fifth generation console.

Well, call it what you want, but I personally like it more than the N64 though not quite as much as the PSX I'll admit. The Saturn also had some internal memory along with being better overall than both the SG-1000 and Master System/Mark III.

What went right?

Are there even five good games on this piece of shit?

>"I-I'T DID THE 2D BETTER!!!"

No it didn't. This is the single most memed console of all time next to the Dreamcast

any reason to own a saturn

couldent someone make a mod so u dont loose date and time

I acquired a Saturn with a broken laser for around 10 dollars, and I was wondering, what's the most recommended mod/repair I should do to get stuff running on it?

Also, what's the status of Dr. Abrasive's USB port mod?

can i emulate sega saturn on my wii?

Does anyone know where I can find a modchip for the Sega Saturn?

Of the two websites that I knew that sold them, one went out of business and the other had to stop listing them on their website due to threats from Paypal, and I have no idea if they have any left.
