I was interested to know if a decent Saturn emu exists for the Xbox, I have heard that a PS1 emu has been made, so perhaps the Xbox could handle a Saturn emu as well.

Originally posted by HaloThe Saturn is the much more powerful machine, however it is a bitch to programme for. The PSX was easier to program for, therefore getting to grips with the hardware and abusing its tricks happened quicker.

The Saturn was a completely different architecture to the PS1. It had alot of good points, such as hi-res modes and the abilility to focus one CPU on the backgrounds and the other on the polygons.
At the end of the day the Saturn was a tough cookie to get to grips with. It was obvious the machine had the power to create unique graphically excellent experiences such as Guardian Heroes, Panzer Dragoon and Radiant Silver Gun, amongst other AAA titles. Sadly the PS1 was too well designed amd simple to programme, which meant most developers soon forgot about the woes of Sega`s tough beast.

no saturn emu on xbox coz its not really in demand. besides most, if not all, emu's on xbox are ports of pc ones anyway, and seeing as the pc ones are so unoptimized (i got giri giri on my p4 2.8 and vf2 is about 20fps but it looks quite nice) due, again, to lack of both interest and, more importantly, technical documents it's a wonder why anyone would bother
I wish there was as it would have been really nice. shame Sega decided not to bring out SatCast on the DC...maybe for the same reasons
