ComputerSpaceFan Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thinking I might pick up a used Wii and mod it to run the homebrew channel. One thing I wouldn't mind having is a Sega Saturn emulator although I hear the Saturn has always been a tough one to emulate. Given there's only about three Saturn games I'd want to run (Final Fight Revenge, Darkstalkers, and Panzer Dragoon) does anyone know the best emulator for these titles? Only found Yabause Wii from the homebrew wiki page but it looks like that has had issues over the years. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGameCollector Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 There's no way that Saturn could possibly run smoothly on the Wii. Especially not if they haven't even mastered the N64 emulator enough to even run Goldeneye smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenorman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've messed with Saturn emulators on the PC in the past and it was never really 100% smooth until I got a 2.6 Ghz AMD Phenom Quad core a few years back. The Wii doesn't have a prayer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I recommend you buy a Saturn. I know someone here is selling one for fifty bucks but unfortunately the games I want to play go for hundreds of dollars on eBay so I was thinking more on the emulator side of things. No biggie, I reckoned I'd ask. Edited April 11, 2013 by ComputerSpaceFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIZZARD77 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Mod Chips are $35-$45 and you can get them from RacketBoy or Sega Style. I have one my self and they work great. Pick up a 4-in-1 cart while you're at it. It makes playing imports much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not an option, the best you can do is have a good PC and use SSF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Agree with modding a Saturn. If you decide to mod one, pay attention to the model. Some are easier to mod than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Forgot to mention that Sega Style sometimes has pre modded Saturns for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 modded Saturns with the round power buttons. Is this a defective model or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuckleCat Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have 2 modded Saturns with the round power buttons. Is this a defective model or something? Nono, you're fine. Like Gandor just ponted out, some models are easier to mod than others. The ones with the oval buttons are the easier ones. (Less wires to worry about.)

Taskmaster99 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Go with a Saturn. I picked mine up for 30 bucks in box and got an action replay. All my imports play well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Until someone miraculously develops an SD-card based solution, Saturn is a tough go in terms of not wanting to buy all the games. I agree with the others though, you have to play imports. Too many good games left in Japan. PS: Can't you run imports without modding using one of those Action Replay Plus cartridges?
