- kevingadd 11y agoYes. Though it was certainly common for consoles to have more than one processor (you usually had a handful of special-purpose cores), eight is pretty excessive.
- hias 11y agoThis is why a Saturn emulator was thought to be impossible for a long time. I just looked around and there seem to be some Saturn emulators around, but I did not test them and do not know how good they work - does anybody know? :-)
- Grazester 11y agoThere is only one truly good emulator and that is SSF. The others may only emulate a percentage of some of the processors accurately. SSF is by an unknown Japanese author that some believe may have worked at Sega on the Saturn.
