Personally I think faster PCs and emulation are going to beat this endeavor, but I'm happy to be wrong.

I'm guessing the system disc won't work since the security code still can't be burnt? But thanks a lot for the rip of it, er... whoever..!

The money sure sounds good... but I still haven't even looked at the security code area on a Saturn CD in depth, so I can't even guess at what is there..! It won't be me getting that money, anyway!

The Magic Card sounds cool - I hadn't heard of those until now. :banana

Emulators are not the same and a bad substitute for a real saturn...

And?

All I'm saying is that any widespread interest in cracking the copy protection (if there is any now) will vanish once an emulator with decent compatability, high frame rate and ease of use comes along.

BTW, not once did I say that emulators were better or worse than real hardware. You brought that up.

I would agree in general... however, I'd really love to play some of the games in amazing high-resolution graphics which the Saturn could never muster! But the emulation itself is such a tricky task, it may be a while before games can be played flawlessly.

Am I right in saying that Steve Snake, author of Kega, is working on an emulator? A member over at the The Will of the Ancients forums... said that it will "blow our minds"..!

Yeah... but where will we find one of those?
