Ok so I have seen a few videos of the work on the dreamcast emulator which if it is made playable would be unbeleivable but was wondering if there was any work being done on a sega saturn emulator?

Been asked many times. Sega Saturn was very complex. Complex to write games for and complex to emulate. Have you tried running a Saturn emulator on a full fledged PC? It needs to be a powerful one for the Saturn emulator to run fast.

Ok sorry didn't really check all the threads for something about this. Fair enough though nah haven't tried i just assumed that if a Dreamcast emulator was possible a saturn emulator had to be.
 
Exophase is probably going to show up and tell me how wrong I am (because I frequently am, make no mistake) but as I understand it, despite the Dreamcast being more technically powerful, the Saturn had a lot more extra chips and stuff beyond just the regular CPU/GPU that needs to be emulated. All that extra chips make it more difficult to emulate than most other consoles.

Thanks for the explanation
