I keep hearing that about the Saturn pad - but I just don't see it.

Its actually funny how Intel fucked MS with the CPU, considering those assholes owe their monopoly to MS and Windows. Without gates everybody would be using RISC processors back in the 90s

Actually, read up a bit on CPU architecture. Everything after the Pentium 1 was RISC-based, just emulating the CISC-instruction-set of the older x86 CPUs. (I think even the PPro already was) (edit: yup, just checked, the PPro had a RISC core with added CISC instruction set)

That in itself is a huge problem, all the backwards compatibility needed inside those things. The CPUs could've been much more powerful if they woud just drop all that old stuff.

Why, in the name of Segata Sanshiro, would you play a Saturn game with that rotund chunk of plastic when there's the official Japanese Saturn controller - potentially the best digital controller of all time?!

I mean, honestly, playing with a Duke is like tickling a fat, plastic baby.

Thank you, I'll be here all night.

Point me in the direction of a Saturn to PC Converter

So, you film your PC playing on an HDTV? If you're going to use emulation, why not use a screen capture program? That would give you a better picture. Or better yet, get a cheap capture card and connect a Saturn to your PC.

The whole reason I do it the way I do is to get that whole MST3k thing going.

Anyways I found a cheap Saturn at a little retro game store, I might grab it next time I'm there.

I still remember when i was i college and my cousin got the xbox pretty much at launch. Damn i spend so much time on that thing. However he was getting rid off it but i bought it and it still works great. Quality item compared to my Xbox 360 wich is like russian roulette every time i power it on.
