Just go by one. Saturns are generally cheap on ebay, and they're really easy to mod for back-ups if you don't want to actually collect the games or mess around with the swap trick.

I don't like it when they do videogames in anime.
Even though Lucky Star was the definition of Otaku pandering shit, I think they're the only ones who could get away with it by virtue of being, well, Otaku pandering shit. Every other SOL kind of anime with a videogames part feels like they're yelling "we put videogames in your anime, what more could you want, nerd?!" and it just feels forced and I don't like it.

CPU emulation isn't difficult at all. Pretty much every major CPU architecture has a high quality open source emulator already available for it, and I'm sure SuperH is no exception.

The difficulty comes from the fact that the Saturn is a clusterfuck of CPUs (2 SH-2 main processors, a 68000 controlling the sound hardware, SH-1 microcontroller controlling the CD drive) and custom chips (2 video processors, custom video DSP, custom PCM/FM sound chip). Trying to synchronize the emulation of all of these chips isn't easy at all -- to do it truly accurately, even a SNES emulator (BSNES) is extremely taxing on modern, top-of-the-line machines.

The other problem arises from the fact that most of the Saturn emulators available have been in development for a long time. Up until relatively modern PC hardware was available, developers were basically forced to favor a hack-heavy design over an accurate one, or their emulators wouldn't be able to run at anything even close to a playable framerate on PCs of the time. SSF was able to even out a lot of bugs, but today, we'd be better off with an emulator that traded speed for accuracy (perhaps not at BSNES levels, though)

I should also point out that not only is it difficult to program an emulator for a multi-processor system, it's also very difficult to perform tests to even understand the system itself well enough to emulate it. You can only get so far testing each component in isolation; at some point, you need to know how various components sharing resources interact with each other, and that's where things get really fucking complicated.

As far as I'm aware, there are only 1mb and 4mb carts for the Saturn. Assuming you're using just a mb cart, then you're probably using a Japanese Saturn, correct? Only thing I can think of is having a fucked up cart slot, which can be a result of the shitty Saturn Gameshark with its thick as fuck PCB that wrecks the cart slot, but if you're using a Japanese Saturn then that obviously wouldn't be the case.

Growing up, the Saturn was somewhat of a thing of legend to me. I only ever saw one once in real life, and years later I'm still not even sure if that really happened, or if it was a dream. At one point I wasn't even sure if it really existed. I finally bought one a few months ago and it's great, and I should have gotten one sooner. I only wish I knew moon so I could play some of the untranslated RPGs.

>>10062544
Well, everyone saw it coming in the industry. They had a good thing going with the Genesis and at one point were outselling the SNES head on. Then they got greedy and released the Sega CD and 32X.

The Saturn flopped because of it's shit loss, they literally announced at E3 "Surprise! The Saturn is available now instead of the proposed date we had given!". As a result retailers were unprepared, developers were unprepared and consumers were unprepared. Sega almost recovered with the Dreamcast but a year after it's launch the PS2 came out and it pretty much just took a knife to Segas throat overnight.

They're not a reliable place to price used items. Also most people put very little description of the items, especially the people who sell things in mass from different warehouses. You can't really know what you're getting sometimes. This can be a problem on eBay, too, but at least there people can put up pictures and such. I'm referring to Amazon Marketplace, of course. Buying things from Amazon itself is normally great.

Reasons not to buy from Amazon

If you want to order a book (or something else), don't buy it from Amazon. If it's a book, order it directly from the publisher or through a local book store. And if you want to send a URL as a reference to a book, make sure it's not an Amazon page.

Here are the reasons — plenty of them.

Amazon publishes ebooks designed to attack your freedom (PDF or html).

Amazon wiped a user's Kindle and deleted her account, then offered her kafkaesque "explanations".

Amazon's on-line music "sales" have some of the same problems as the ebooks: users are required to identify themselves and sign a contract that denies them the freedoms they would have with a CD.

Amazon's shipping in the US is done in a sweatshop More info, including paramedics standing by for workers who pass out from the heat.

Amazon cut off service to Wikileaks, claiming that whistleblowing violates its terms of service. It had no need to go to court to prove this, because if you rent a server from Amazon, you have no rights.

Amazon squeezes small publishers. For instance, Amazon cut off Swindle sales for an independent book distributor in order to press for bigger discounts. (The article ends by promoting ebooks for another platform, the Shnook from Barnes and Noble. While that company is not as nasty to small publishers, its ebooks do violate your freedom in most of the same ways.)

Anonymous Thu Nov 15 21:05:27 2012 No.10063613

Amazon charges publishers for 20% sales tax in the UK even though the tax it pays is 3%.

Amazon doesn't just compete with independent book stores, it arrogantly seeks to destroy them. Independent book stores urge people not to buy from Amazon.

Amazon appears to treat self-published authors well, but it can unilaterally cut the price of their books. And when it does, the authors are the ones who lose.

Amazon censored an ebook that exposed how ebook bestseller lists can be manipulated (and therefore are meaningless).

Amazon was a member of ALEC. ALEC is the right-wing lobbying group that promotes voter-suppression laws and "shoot first" laws, as well as attacks against wages and working conditions in the US. Amazon quit ALEC after public pressure in May 2012, but I am sure it still seeks the same nasty policies that ALEC advocated and is waiting for a new tool to achieve them.

Amazon's tax avoidance means it sucks money out of your country's economy.

In addition, the ease of using the site leads some people to spend more than they want to spend. While this can happen in a physical store, you don't spend all day there.

I run japanese region settings and bios trying to load japanese isos.I tried it in every other region-bios combination too and still no worky. How big is the chance that the cue or iso files themself need a fix or am I plainly doing it wrong?

I just got done reading a bunch of old interviews with him and he really was aloof at the time. Apparently after they saw the success of Final Fantasy VII and a few other games they tried to change their approach but by then it was too late.

The Sega CD was fine, considering the situation it was released in. NEC/Hudson had released the PC-Engine CD, which was making Nintendo and Sega look kind of bad. If I'm not mistaken, the PC-Engine CD was actually the #2 console in Japan for a while, above the Mega Drive.

The 32X was a horrible idea, though.
Sad as it is to say, failures like the 32X and the Saturn's design were the symptoms of Sega's slow death, not the cause of it. In a competently managed company, there would be no 32X, the Saturn would have been a derivative of one of Sega's cutting-edge 3D arcade hardware designs, and there would have been a

Anecdotally, I remember the Dreamcast being fairly well received when it came out here in America. It's strange how American and Japanese fans seem to like different consoles; Americans seem to like the Genesis and Dreamcast best, Japanese like the Saturn the best, the Brazilians love their Master System, and there doesn't seem to be too much crossover outside of that.

Also I watched Ika Musume just because of the Genesis in the OP

I should clarify more and say that I am in the minority that feels that the Sega CD is highly overlooked. There are a lot of fantastic games that nobody has heard of.

Hell, I didn't know they released Secret Of Monkey Island on it until the late 90s.
