Emulation has lag, glitches in everyway and some games don't work at all. Buy a Saturn anon if you truly want to experience the system and buy good cheap games like Sega Rally panzer Dragoon and radiant silvergun.

Yeah I already have a real Saturn which is why I think I'm more used to emulator fuckups than most emulatorfags are.

Works on my machine

Have had barely any issues with Mednafen

Using Mednafen Saturn emulation is pretty good. The only thing is that Saturn emulation WILL always have a bit of input lag, apparently it's inherent to how the Saturn works but while it's not noticeable on real hardware, it will be emulated due to all the other things that go with emulation. There are ways to mitigate it though if you have a proper setup and know how to configure it properly, but say, playing Resident Evil PSX in Mednafen then playing Resident Evil Saturn on Mednafen, I will notice a very slight difference.

If you emulate, you aren't getting the true Saturn experience. Same if you play backups. You HAVE to buy the original game, no matter the cost.

>>9184627
ok, but why?
what do I gain from playing an official copy vs a backup?

>>9184636
the full experience of the TOUCH and SMELL of plastic also consumarism: paying for something = enjoying that thing more than if you had it for free.

This is the way!

>you look at your shelf, with physical representations of your games on display, helping you to decide what to play today
>you take the case and look at the back cover, understanding which would be the ideal peripheral to use with this interactive experience
>you open the case and review the video game manual to familiarise yourself with the games systems and controls
>you give the case a good sniff to remind you of great days gone by, lazy Sundays playing vidya when you had no cares in the world
>you remove the disc from the case and place it in your original Sega Saturn
>you press the power button and see/hear the timless start-up cinematic
>THIS IS COOL™

backups give you none of this and you don't appreciate the games.

But retard, there is no plastic in an overpriced saturn cd

>>9184650
No, i'm not going to buy your 150$ "RARE" games on Ebay you dumb faggot.

>>9184650
I have a bunch of real games
I prefer to use my saturn with fenrir plus a multicart for saves and RAM
I don't see any benefit in collecting games as I already have a heap from my childhood

God, collectors are intolerable.

>load save state to skip the boring loading screens
Takes about 20 seconds. I even have all my peripherals working, thanks to some guy on github who added support for my Arcade Racer to his arduino based USB adapter.

Only time I pull the Saturn out is if I want to play some of the exclusive light gun titles, which aren't very good anyway.

>>9184607
That's bullshit, but the switch isn't powerful enough to run any decent saturn emu.

take the fpga pill

>>9184595
the same as 2003

>>9184671
All Saturn games are rare anon. I’m well traveled and I’ve only seen them a couple times in the wild. Buy Japanese copies on the cheap cheap while you can

near perfect

>>9185775
Fucking kek if you think that looks perfect.
I'll just play the original game with the original peripherals on my CRT with RGB.

>>9184650
This is what circumcision does to a male, absolutely tragic stuff.

>scroll through my list of Saturn games with video clips of each game playing as I go
>press a button to look at the back of the case, alternate region cases, disc art
>select the game and choose to view the manual, flipping through it
>just press one button and the game automatically starts up instantly

>>9185783
why settle for perfect when you can go even further beyond

>>9185792
I collect consoles, flashcarts, odes, and the sort. I still think this is a based comment.

>>9185792
What emulator is that?

God, /vr/ is so easy to troll, and this whole thread is proof of it. Not even a Saturnfag btw, just clicked on this thread on a whim.

>>9186136
That's the launchbox frontend

>>9184595
Retroid Pocket 2 should get the job done, but if you're looking for 100% hardware/cycle accuracy, you're going to be disappointed no matter what

Also say what you want about Yabause but I've been using the Android version for the past year and it works great for me.

>>9184650
this is bait

>>9186136
Launchbox is what you use to organise all of your emulators

>>9184595

I used to have a saturn and it died so I just emulate now, honestly can't even tell the difference, use mednafen. Only one game I saw has a glitch, the rest run pretty much perfectly

>>9184595
beetle saturn core for retroarch is pretty good. i was just playing nights into dreams last night no issue . if you use it thru steam you can use a switch pro controller + usb c cable
