Games i would recommend on Saturn? Now that i have one...
  • Die Hard Arcade. It feels criminal this wasn't ported anywhere else. Not anywhere i could find, anyway.
Only in japan though: PS2 Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 26: Dynamite Deka (The non-licensed name of the game) and later the PSN.

Btw is this list still being curated by someone??

Money.
Lots and lots of money.

There's nothing more essential when it comes to Saturn.
But seriously, I hope this thing gets decent emulation before 2030, otherwise, any of the games of this thing will never be enjoyed again by anyone. I have one that doesn't work quite well, with those prices, it stays inside a box most of the time, I can't get good games without starving for months.
More than recommend games for the system, I recommend to stay away from it if you are beginning. You won't be able to get much fun from it unless you mod it to accept copies or add an SD card reader, which isn't much of an option either since those mods don't come cheap either.

its better to buy a 200$ ODE like the MODE or the fenrir (idk the price) then keep paying hundreds of $$ for games tho

Or modchip + burn backups. I installed a chip in my Saturn in '99 or 2000, can't remember for sure. Still works great. Never had trouble reading backups, that disc drive is the best.

Saturn emulators, even today, aren't the best. Kronos does well, but def not perfect. Especially at playing games straight from disc.. I have a couple Model 2 Saturns coming though that I am going to mod (phantom/FRAM/RF BIOS) til the 21 pin Fenrir gets released. I would just buy a mode but I also plan to get an SSDS3 for PC Engine so yeah. Little pricey lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
