Sega Saturn's DRM has finally been cracked after 20 years

I'm not sure whether to admire his dedication or wonder how bored he could possibly be?

 

Tinkering with electronics is an incredibly rewarding hobby if you have the know-how. It's unfortunate that you will never understand that joy.

 

Couldn't Sega help out?
It's well past end of life. Piracy isn't a concern. Surely they would be able to bypass it.

 

I wish I had his knowledge and understanding of electronics,if I tried I might inadvertently set all the nukes off.

 

100% this.

It either you get it or you don't.

Tickering with electronics is how I'm even typing on this site and why I became good with computers.

And it all started with ripping apart a broken VCR when I was like 10 trying to figure out how it worked.

 

People can say what they want about its popularity and terrible release timing, but the Saturn was a great console.
I played the sh!t outta mine.
Die Hard Arcade, Virtua Cop 2, Virtua Fighter 2, Virtual On (ooops Dreamcast), Panzer Dragoon, Sega Rally Championship, Nights Into Dreams, Shining Force III, XMEN Vs StreetFighter, Daytona USA, to name a few.
Only a 2 player console though, but besides that is housed some quality gaming.

 

Will this also open the door for virtual simulators?

 

Still have mine in it's original box, along with all the accessories like the steering wheel and virtua stick, in my attic.

 

Here's a video about this story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOyfZex7B3E

 

I completely understand "tinkering with electronics." Little do you know I was building transistor radios and oscilloscopes as a hobby more than likely before you were born then progressed to programming using 96 column punch cards in PASCAL, BASIC and FORTRAN. But my tinkering involved working with something I could use and was relevant. Not cracking old technology that 10 people around the world might think is cool.

 

Who are we to determine what is relevant to them and what isn't

 

If that's true then you should understand the desire to undertake something simply because it's hard. There's very little point to climbing a mountain, don't you think?

 

This shows that you are unfamiliar with the boom right now in retrogaming. I don't say this as an insult. Especially with the advent or more and more powerful single board computers (Raspberry Pi, Udoo, Up Board, etc) hundreds of thousands of people are being able to either once again enjoy gaming from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s or experience hem for the first time. My introduction to M.A.M.E. for example was driven by wanting to play again a he called Psycho-Nics Oscar which hasn't been available for twenty years now.

 

You mean like Pokemon? I can't believe that crap has come back. I'll take the pre90s cartoons over Pokemon any day. Next week it will be Barney and Teletubbies flooding social media.

 

Don't you know its blasphemy to even mention these two words "Barney" & "Teletubbies"

 

Pokemon, like GI Joe and Transformers, was a cartoon based on game, NOT the other way around. But I think perhaps you know that

 

Does it really matter what species a turd comes from? I'll put them all in the same category. lol

 

There's still likely legal hoops they'll have to go through, and money to spend in order to do that and help. So given their poor track record over QA on games, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Point being the don't really seem to care about customer interests on a large scale, so won't on this scale.

 

The Sega Saturn was my favorite game console of all time. I have hundreds of import games and even have my Saturn hooked up in my bedroom. I can't remember if I have a second console for "just in case".

 

To bad you will never understand the joy that comes from a direct insult vs a veiled one.

 

What a guy

 

I hope he had fun

 

I actually enjoy using all types of insults, although *****s do a pretty good job of insulting themselves

 

I matter to you...how sweet
