Just to get this straight now I'm only posting thisbfor those who are interested, this is new to me and I'm not sure how many are aware if this I find it very cool tho. So what is this about a product there is a whole YouTube review and unboxing about it called (Diamond Edge 3D) (NV1 Nvidia Sega Saturn) it came with like a PCI card you put into your windows 95 PC another card with 2 saturn controller ports and 3 sega PC games, as well as 2 controllers also a newcomer recently asking about a strange looking early on Saturn controller (grey and blue buttons) came packed in. This allows your windows 95 computer to basically be a Saturn fully not like emulation it's real hardware what the card itself contains is beyond me I would assume main components in a sega saturn. Has anyone else heard of this? I'm certain someone had to here sounds like a awesome project I'd like to try and it plays apparently any region not just the sega PC games.

I apologize I may be wrong this may only have been for better results with the sega PC games as in the comparison it makes a huge difference, plays faster,smoother looking ect with the bonus of being able to use real sega saturn controllers over USB ones.

I have known about the PCI card for years. It is quite uncommon to find, but know people who have it. It doesn't help much for turning a PC into a Saturn, it just helps for some games. But as I understand it, it should make it so you could use the Saturn controllers on other games besides the Sega PC titles. For Windows 95, you wouldn't be looking to use USB controllers anyways, you'd use Serial or the "joystick port" controllers.  |

as others said, no it doesn't turn your PC into a Saturn. The only similarities between the two is the fact the card uses quads instead of triangles, just like the saturn. The few sega games that show improvements when using it are still PC games.

You could rip out the Saturn's hardware and put some barebone pc thing in it  I would not approve this. |

If someone made a program that was basially the Saturn bootloader, you can set it as the shell on a Windows 95 PC. Then when it would boot you could only pick the various Saturn ports to play. Part size not being equal, it is reverse of the idea you could put a modern computer in a Saturn shell... Say if you made an "upsized" Saturn Shell and put a Windows 95 PC into it with the two things (video card and controller card) in there, run custom wires. It could be a thing. The hardest part would be to find a company to tool a 5-10x upsized Saturn shell mold tho...

A handheld Sega Saturn one like Ben heck if he made one I'm sure he can made a handheld DC. But then again it be big and bulky as shit a PC I can conceal in my office space and say I'm doing work right now when I'm not thus making my wife watch the kids. |
