Dreamcast would be cool. I'd consider trading in my RG350 for something like that. I have no idea on the state of current emulation capabilities, but what are the chances of playing Sega Saturn games on devices like these?

Zero. At least, at a pace where you'd want to play them.
I've been looking at Saturn emulation recently and it's come a long way, but it still requires a higher class of computing power than of which these devices are capable.
Nice, thanks for the recommendation Dan! Still enjoying yours?
Haven’t actually received it yet, when it arrives I’ll chip in with some impressions, that said I’ve not heard of anyone being disappointed with the 350m.
Maybe it's silly of me to assume, but with PS1 emulation being really good on modern devices, I thought we'd have a good chance of nearly being there. Especially seeing how you guys were talking about the possibility of emulating Dreamcast.

Unfortunately the Saturn is in the same boat as the PS2 (and 3, when people talk about emulating those in the coming years) - they've got unusual architecture.
The Dreamcast comparably is much easier than the Saturn, because it functions closer to a PC than any of the consoles of its era. In essence, the Dreamcast was the prototype for nearly all consoles that followed; the Xbox, GameCube, 360, PS4, XBO, and the XB Series X EX Special Champion Edition +Alpha and PS5. It'd be wrong to say "the Dreamcast is just a PC" in the way that the Xbox literally was just a PC of sorts... But it was a huge step closer to this modern norm over anything prior to it.
