Nothing wrong with having a dream fellas! I get you are trying to help narrow down the idea but we can do this without roasting people Just think of this is a brainstorm session and we are all part of the team Its always good to see enthusiastic Sega and Saturn fans! All I've posted is reality. I haven't dropped any nicknames or insults. This idea doesn't have anything to do with the Saturn. Just reminding everyone to keep it Civil. I don't think you have said anything insulting, but I know sometimes things can get out of hand so just trying to avoid that.

The console would have to specifically meet the wants of Sega Saturn/Dreamcast fans. I already have consoles that meet the wants of a Saturn and Dreamcast fan. They're called the Saturn and Dreamcast. Don't suppose you also have the Dreamcast 2 aka the original Xbox? Panzer Dragoon Orta on that looks damn near like a PS3/360 game, and after playing that a lot, I actually started missing the speed boost / halt buttons when playing the Saturn games. They'd be so helpful in those fast, tight tunnel levels. I need to put a bigger HDD in mine since the dvd drive doesn't eject anymore and I can only load games from the HDD; the 6gb drive on it can only so many games, and it's a pain to change games around via FTP since I have to get a patch cable to connect it to the router two rooms away.

I don't have an Xbox. I'm not a fan, but I've heard Orta was decent. I just meant that Sega's games are on all kinds of systems, now, rather than on a particular system. Obviously, they're following where the money is.

A bit too early to ask really.
Backwards compatibility a must. Improved load times a must. Existing online games support plus more added a must. Dah romz a must.
Anything else will not be received well. Like others points, hardware is a tough sell.
Any software ideas?

Like I said before, I definitely know that backwards compatibility is possible. That might be a good idea. I'm not sure about load times. Since the games would be loaded using updated hardware and software, they might load faster. There are not many NetLink games. A high-speed workaround was created a few years back. Of course, that takes extra spending on the end user's part. Whether that would work with emulation, I doubt it. I would never support romz. Hardware is certainly a tough sell. I mean we've seen systems like Jaguar 64 and Wii U go down. As far as software, there are some people on the Jo Engine board that I'm a member of who are working on some cool Saturn games. I've been working on a game, but I'll be making an announcement on that soon. I am looking at the possibility of doing a Saturn-related documentary released in Japanese Saturn-style packaging that would be for video card owners. I happen to be one of those people. I have the last card that was released. Also, Professor Abrasive is currently perfecting his Satiator device, which loads games on thumb drive through the video card slot.

I have an update about my project goals. My new project concept is to use the Raspberry Pi, along with a custom shell and additional accessories. I can also do a custom setup with OpenGL that limits the output to match the max output of the Saturn or slightly better. I have picked out a couple engines, depending on whether it's a 2D or 3D game. I also came across a couple of developers who are working on new games that emulate PSX graphics, and I realized I can do the same thing for Saturn. This will open up a new console that I and other developers can make Saturn-style games for. I'd like to work towards getting a licensing agreement to produce a sequel of a game that was on the Saturn. By emulating the look of Saturn games, the console can be a kind of continuation of the system. There is also the possibility of the console being backwards compatible with Saturn discs. Unlike the Saturn, developers can use all modern tools and games will be much easier to produce. I look forward to any feedback.

A Raspberry Pi is the Saturn follow up? You might want to go look how the Seedi fundraising campaign was received before you go down that path.

The Saturn meets Ouya, the dream team, together at last.

What I would like would be a box that could play all the model 1,2 & 3 , Naomi games and the other Sega arcade boards on a TV with a nice clean display and USB connections for arcade controls. That could probably be built with a PC + emulation of course but having it all packaged up and ready to plug and play would be desireable for me at least. At the end of the day - isn't that what Sega were trying to do with Saturn & Dreamcast? I know Saturn & DC play host to console games too - but Sega does arcade gaming best.
