Would Sega Saturn Be Possible?

[PAUL103DOGS]

i was just wondering if the GP32 would be able to emulate the sega saturn, i've heard people say it was possible for it to emulate the PSX but never heard mension of the saturn. also is the saturn more difficult/ complex to emulate than the GBA, what with all the fancy hardware in the GBA.

in a word................no

Actually Sega Saturn is fairly easy to emulate. Team Bazooka Joe is currently working on one and they said its about 95% done and should be released within this week! It's suppose to support all games 100% speed and music.

Saturn had 2 processors.. there arent that many good pc emus for it I dont think.. esp open source ones.

If this is true... sweet!!

* Sound: 16-Bit CISC 68EC000 (11.3 MHz), PCM & FM sound sources, 32 channels, 16-Bit Sampling, Sampling rate 44.1 KHz max, Audio DSP
* Graphics: 16.77 Million Colours Sprite Enlargement, Reduction, Rotation, Transformation
* CG Capability: Polygon Specialized Hardware Texture Mapping, Flat Shading, Gouraud Shading, Wire Frame
* Scroll: 5 Screens (Scaling, rotating, enlargement, reduction)
* CD Drive: Intelligent 2x. Data Transfer Rate (DMA to RAM), 150 KB/sec. (Normal), 300 KB/sec.

So I don't believe there will be an emulator for it for Gamepark. :rolleyes:

Yes, but only under the WinXP GP32 emulator

Lol :lol:.

U cant emulate the saturn directly but if you run the up and comming dreamcast emulator u can use the dreamcasts saturn emulator

Honest

I think that is going to be released a bit after the Xbox emulator which is comming out tommorow with full speed F/S 0 and sound plus the ability to connect to Xbox Live through the port on the GP32

Common people use your brain. No it is not possible, at all

tbh... thought he meant for pc :blink:

 

[cozmic]

Maybe an atari jaguar emulator would be possible.. i hope.

I guess it's twice as powerful as a snes.

DaveC,Glad to see a fellow floyd fan!

Nope nope. The Jaguar is a bitch when it comes to emulate it, almost impossible, even for the PC. There wasn't a single serious project out after almost 10 years.

Max: Project Tempest v0.95 seems good enough to me, runs many commercial games fine.

thanks for being an idiot. much appreciated. i thought it was a straightforward question yet you had to be weener about it. thanks to civilised people who answered the question.

 

[ColinR]

Actually, it wasn't a sensible question, because we've only barely got good emulation of the Saturn's predecessors (Megadrive, and in terms of generational hardware the SNES) and no emulation of early PCs.

 

[PAUL103DOGS]

who said anything about sensible? i said straightforward. i only asked cause some people have said N64 and psx was possible.

 

[dr_other]

Are you quite sure those people weren't joking as well?

 

[PAUL103DOGS]

didnt sound like it :blink:

How come there aren't any Saturn emus out, and how come it took so long for Chankast to emerge? Emulation is a weird thing.
