And why can’t I find it anywhere? I know it wasn’t very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.

    @GreenCrush At least nowadays Saturn emulation works pretty well. With the right settings, it is like emulating Playstation games. My PC CPU is from 2013 and it works fine (with a GTX 1070). I am using RetroArch, but that is another complicated software suite to get into. But the Saturn core (a plugin in RetroArch) I am using is basically part of the standalone emulator suite Mednafen: https://mednafen.github.io/ . (Edit: Sorry I forgot that I used an additional program called Mednaffe: https://github.com/AmatCoder/mednaffe, that is a GUI for Mednafen.) So if you want get into emulation for Saturn, I would recommend starting with this, if RetroArch isn’t your thing.

      Has Mednafen been made more user friendly? Because last time I used it, it very much was not.

        @ArugulaZ My bad. I thought the default Mednafen has a GUI. What I used in the past was another program called Mednaffe as a GUI for Mednafen, which I highly recommend if you don’t like RetroArch. If you understand commandline applications, then Mednafen is easy to get into. Otherwise, I can see why its not user friendly. I’ll edit that part of my previous reply.
