its was not that the saturn was hard to develop for but the playstation was easy, before the PS all the code was in asm, and continued that with the saturn, while the PS used C++. Also you have too mind that a lot more work as gone into emulating the PS because its was so popular. But i will say again, the saturn was powerfull when used properly, look at Quake.. in many ways it was better than the n64 version.
I hate Sega CD. Its a dumb idea; same type of games, better music. The only reason I have a PC emulator of it is because of Sonic CD, possibly the best sidescrolling Sonic game ever.
It was a good concept just poorly executed. Compact discs allowed for greater storage space, FMV video and much better sound quality. Thats a lot to work with. The abundence of adventure/text based games *shudders* and lack of popular franchises is what really killed it. Slow disc reading speeds and its high price didn't help the console either.Quote:

I have a question, could a Neo-Geo emulator be released for the PSP? I know the NG CD is emulated (and very well done,) but could the cardrigde NG be emulated or not because of ram restraints?
I do think the Sega CD could be emulated, but not that many good games were released for it so I don't see much of a point. Maybe a 32X emulator would be cool.

Id like a segacd emulator, it did have more than one good game. Once you actually look around for games for it, youll see theres quite a few goodies out there for it... 32x and sega cd for psp would be awesome!!
I can think of SonicCD, Snatcher, Shadowrun and Final Fight off the top of my head, Any other takers?
Heart of the Alien and Knuckles chaotix were great gamesQuote:
