		And this is … a Saturn emulator? I don’t think I’ve heard of it before.

		I must say I think that the wide range of formats that this emulator supports is wonderful. I noticed that homebrew still runs kinda buggy on it. Or is it that I'm missing a shc library that might be considerably more important than I think , that I don't have that's not allowing my code to run on it. . Or is it just extremely buggy atm

Anyway, I managed to compile a successful Saturn execute-able by switching from the Hitachi toolset(which I will further work with) to the older GNU toolset that Sega specifically used. In any case the version I have works great. I might just download the newer version, for the heck of it, to see if anything has changed
