The Sega Saturn was one of the best consoles made in the 20th century, with a library of classics approaching SNES/NES-levels of greatness. The games were great, the hardware was solid, and the west didn't get to experience a fraction of its popularity due to less marketing and the success of the PlayStation 1.

The Saturns hardware has been notoriously difficult to emulate, and while you could purchase modchips and regional circumvention devices during its original lifetime, until now full access to the console has been limited by a combination of clever engineering on Sega's part, lack of publicly available information, and quickly dwindling hardware availability.

Enter Dr Abrasive, who has adapted his own hardware to fit into the Saturn's existing hardware ports, and successfully recoded its internals for full access to its great sound hardware, and to read and boot games from a number of solid-state media, bypassing the failing CDROMs entirely.
