I had no idea Saturn emulation was bad but I've done 10 minutes of research and everyone says it's fine now

Yep.

Think I'm gonna try this one on Saturn. Never messed with Saturn emulation before, hope I'm not getting in over my head.

it used to be awful but now it has ascended to the heady heights of Pretty Good But Not As Good As PS1 Emulation With All The Enhancements And Stuff

It's a difficult system to emulate because the hardware is set up in a really weird way. Like I think there are multiple CPU's and two GPU's partially because it wasn't meant to be able to do hardware 3D rendering at all and that was added late in development to compete with PS1

yeah the saturn is a mess under the hood. two seperate graphics processors (one does polygons, except they're actually quadrilaterals unlike every other system! the other does flat endless flat surfaces like mode 7!), two cpus that have to fight for memory access, and a sound chip. all required to run in perfect sync in an era where people weren't used to programming for multi-core setups.

some 2d-centric developers really made it sing though, like treasure and capcom

Saturn has been pretty good for a few years now, I use the retroarch cores and everything I try usually works

The archive.org one doesn't open in openemu but the one pablo linked does. So thanks pablo.

"Yet another broken and unfinished saturn emulator" ran the game at 3fps but openemu seems good. I couldn't find a standalone version of mednafen for mac but that seems like the go to for saturn
