How is the Saturn's protection so much more effective than more modern systems?

• tlrobinson 10y ago
  I'm guessing it was state of the art at the time it was released, but wouldn't hold up nearly as well in a mass market console these days.

    Then why did it take 20 years?
    • ygra 10y ago
      It's not a mass-market console anymore with little interest or incentive to break it.

      It didnt. 20 years is a lie/marketing/ignorance. There do exist CD emulators (Rhea) and there did exist modchips during console heyday.

  It was impossible to find anyone capable of producing CD's with the wobble when the Saturn was alive. Finding somebody capable today would be possible, but it wouldn't be very profitable because its a dead system. If a new console used the wobble/burst then surely you'd be able to order these CDR's from Alibaba..
