lol at this guy

Nothing is impossible; such is merely the thoughts of ignorance. That is not to say that a Saturn emulator will work well or even play games at any reasonable speed. But it is certainly not impossible.

In fact, as hard as it sounds, I think some of you are complicating the issue; the Saturn's 8 processors don't handle radically different task; in fact, nearly 2 of each processor handles a similar task and the PSP has 3 processors: the CPU, GPU(forgot its real name) and ME; the coders can simply bundle the the similar processors to their PSP counter parts. For instance:

Motorola 68EC000 sound controller and Yamaha FH1 DSP sound processor would be handled by the ME.

Custom VDP 1 32-bit video display processor, Custom VDP 2 32-bit video display processor and Custom Saturn Control Unit (SCU) with DSP for geometry processing and DMA controller would be handled by the VFPU.

And obviously the 2 CPUs would be handled by the PSP's cpu, with the other 2 remaining processors handled by software.

By no means an easy task, but not impossible...

Ya know,
I'd be suprised, if this guys Japanese.

Japanese can do anything, anything is possible for them.

lol ...how very true!

Just look at what NJ achieved with CPS1,2, MVS and CDZ... all thought impossible not too long ago and now weve got all of them working 100% with ad hoc multiplayer on our PSP's! :thumbup:

To be honest though I really dont think a Saturn emu will ever happen for us (dont quote me on that though lol)... but weve been proven wrong quite a few times before and theres nothing wrong with being optimistic/dreaming.

You will never see a Saturn emulator running commercial games in your PSP. Stop dreaming.

im not dreaming. Im just saying that it might be feasible. And hell I would be happy seeing Saturn PD Roms running on the PSP, just like we have a emulator for the Jaguar, its slow as dirt, but it works.

(btw, 8 processors for the Saturn!? thats a little crazy)

[Shrygue]

It would be great to have a Sega Saturn emulator for PSP.

so? also there're snes/nes/gen/sms emulators on PSP. What's your point?

He made his point and you clearly missed it. Jaguar has 5 processors and yet it made its debut to the PSP...

Jaguar is emulated on PC perfectly, Saturn isn't

Saturn is emulated on PC, its called Yabause. Simply because it doesn't run perfectly doesn't make it impossible.

All emulation is relatively imperfect, especially across dissimilar platforms.

saturn wasn't a good console to begin with :P

The Jaguar is emulated even in a old and stupid SSE PC.
When did I say Saturn isn't emulated? I said it's not perfect. Plus you don't have any idea about Saturn emulators since that's not the best.
At the moment, SSF is the best Saturn emulator on PC, it runs 90% of the games. A lot of them have graphic/sound/speed problems and sometimes you should use a old version for better compatibility on some games. And you need to use a SSE2 computer, on SSE it's not compatible.
