        @mat03111984 pi doesn't have the processing power to emulate the Saturn at a playable state

          but it can run psx perfectly., even N64... Is there much of a difference? or is it that emulation isnt good enough yet?

            @mat03111984 haha if it were that simple...

            The Saturn had two CPUs and a whole bunch of other graphics chips. The hardware is relatively complex compared to the other consoles at the time. As emulation emulates the hardware the more complex the hardware the more difficult the emulation. They are still making progress though

            Interesting video on some recent developments:
