Saturn, I Want You, But I Give Up

I was a PS1 user when I was a kid.  It gave me the Third Triad of Final Fantasy, FFT, Medievil, Vagrant Story, Breath of Fire 3...  It gave me a lot.

But in retrospect, I rather regret having let the Sega Saturn pass me by.  So when I saw it for sale for $60 at a local retro-games kiosk, I considered it.

Then I looked at the games.

Sega Saturn games run around $70.

So much for that.

Recently, I began to take up emulation.  zSNES and Nestopia have served me well.  MAME, not so much.  Virtual GBA is finicky but workable.  So I looked into Saturn emulation.

Turns out that the Saturn is notoriously hard to emulate, to the point that early Saturn emulators were considered to be successes if they could read CD data, play or not.

The first emulator I tried, Satourne... doesn't seem to have any ability to LOAD games.

So I tried to download another one.  The computer was hit with a virus.

It was my work computer.
 

That's it.  I give up.  Saturn, you are dead to me.  I refuse to put up with any more of this.
