The Saturn and the 32X are black sheep of Sega's history. The 32X could have been a low-cost competitor to the Neo Geo, as far as 2D games go, with room for 3D if implemented properly, but it was smothered in the crib. The Saturn was a clusterfuck of engineering thanks to SOJ panicking about Sony's announcements about the PSX's capabilities and launch date. A nightmare to code for, even according to the developers who knew what they were doing with the system. It took a lot less code and effort to achieve similar results on the PlayStation, in spite of all of that system's fuckups (no memory, fucked math, fucked texture alignment).

32x was irredeemable, it took away time from Saturn development and was released after it.
It was just half of the Saturn's unfinished processor core and the Genesis peripheral bus, none of the original Genesis console was used by 32x.
They had this gay idea that you could port 32x games to Saturn since it had the same VPU but you couldn't because you'd need to rewrite all the logic for two hardware threads.
What Sega should have done:
>Include MegaCD in Model2 Genesis/MegaDrive
>release all their new games on CD
>devs release their cart games on disc simply because all model 2 owners have SEGACD and can purchase the cheap medoum with FATTER profit margins for devs
>Model1 fags buy the addon to play new games
Meanwhile
>Saturn development continues unabated and has functioning MegaDrive backwards comparability that was left unfinished and unused in the final
>actual SDK to help manage programming on Saturn
>non-retarded VPU feature set with true transparency and (a greater density of) triangles instead of the perspective nightmare that is perspective-transform on quads
For a "failed console", Saturn was far from bad. In fact, it has a much better library than 3DO, which was perhaps the most impressively architectured machine, both technically and business-wise, of that generation.

He's right if you consider that most of the games were ported to other consoles/PC and that the ones on it which weren't are focused around multiplayer which doesn't make sense for a miniaturized console that will only come with one controller and likely won't be compatible with older controllers or generic bluetooth controllers.

This was the case until this year where the upcoming HD Genesis Classic was cancelled (which would have coincided with the 30th anniversary this year) and Sega ended their AtGames relationship and partnered with a "Japanese software developer with a proven track record" which can literally mean only one studio, M2 who basically put every open sores emulator developer to shame with how good they are at nailing notoriously difficult to reproduce hardware like the YM2612 and Sega has a very long running relationship with dating back 13 years to the Sega Ages collections on the PS2 and legendary ports like Gunstar Heroes to the Game Gear.

Most of those games are arcade ports and are more fun when played coop. I'd also include ChuChu rocket in that list as it only had a GBA and mobile ports while it's better to play on a big screen with 3 other people. Throw in light gun games and there's maybe a list of around 20.
The dreamcast simply doesn't have 5 solid games that weren't ported to other platforms which would make buying a classic version with the games on it worth it. There used to be Shenmue but that's got a PC port now.

Agreed on the rest, but I'd say the 32X could've worked if instead of being a $160 monstrosity beefy enough for a console on its own, it was just a minor $30-$60 discrete add-on about on par with Nintendo's SuperFX, preferably bundled with a "killer app" game of some sort. This would've essentially given every subsequent Genesis game an enhancement chipset for the price of one late-gen 16-bit game. Apparently Sega was thinking of doing exactly this, but it was canceled in favor of the 32X:

I realize the numbers are from Wikipedia, but that's such a load of shit. Taking a brief glance at their Saturn & DC lists, they appear to be bloated with some sort of strange multi-volume format that's always listed as multiple games, as for instance the Saturn article lists 6 "Aquazone" fishtank sims in a row and the DC one lists 6 interactive movie episodes named "Grauen no Torikago Kapitel".
Just to sanity-check those numbers, here's some from MobyGames:
GG: 318
N64: 342
SMS: 384
DC: 437
GBC: 500
GCN: 607
Saturn: 633
GB: 658
GBA: 954
XB: 985
SNES: 1146
Genesis: 957+205=1162 (CD)
NES: 1285
PSP: 1731
3DS: 1687+105=1792 (New 3DS)
Switch: 1825
PS3: 7636
DS: 1707+557=2264 (DSi)
Vita: 2282
PSX: 2306
Wii: 2509
PS2: 3026
XBOne: 5691
360: 6070
PS4: 7229
Obviously, the 7th/8th-gen numbers are completely worthless due to mixing in Nintendo VC, Sony PSN, and whatever MS did for their ROM dump thing. Also, I'd imagine more nip-only games might be missing. Anyway this puts the Saturn is back in the toilet, the NES high up, DC waaay down, PS2 into the stratosphere, and chops down most other systems by one or two hundred.

That would piss off the consumer base like how they pissed people off with the 32x and lack of support. It would also annoy developers who were currently developing for the Genesis have to port their stuff over to CD, which means time delays, which cost money. And the CD add on was released at a later date in Europe (in 1993, late in the system's life), so if you release the Model 2 Genesis with the CD add on already, and force your games onto CD only, you're going to have a pissed off consumer base since they'll have to spend more money on an add-on that adds really shitty FMV and better music.
Maybe it would work if Sonic 3 was delayed and just finished as Sonic 3 & Knuckles on CD with Michael Jackson's music in CD quality AND you include it as a free game with a model 2 Genesis that comes with the Sega CD. And you cancel development of the CDX to save money, but then you'll have to deal with Michael Jackson's pedo accusations in 1994, so that would kill sales.
>Everything you said about the Saturn

And if the financial numbers allow it, $50 off the launch price to be more competitive while advertising the system is backwards compatible with Genesis and Sega CD games.
>Saturn was far from bad
It was a nice console, but the 32x, the system being a bitch to program for, and the fucking dumb "surprise" American launch doomed the console.
If the Saturn was a success, we could have seen the Sega and Bandai merger actually happen, and maybe we would see Dragon Ball games as Sega exclusives, which would have helped Sega a lot, since DBZ started airing in the States by then.

God, that was painful. If Kalinske is telling the truth. He's a massive cuck and NPC on his Twitter, but let's say what he is saying is the truth, and Sega kept shooting down Silicon Graphics, despite the improvements. They could have told Silicon Graphics instead to focus on the processing power and graphics, while keeping the system easy to program for. For sound, they could have easily added the latest Yamaha sound chip, cause let's be honest, the sound chip in the N64, doesn't sound good at times in some games.
As for Sony? It would have been nice, but if I recall, Sony was demanding ownership of Nintendo's IPs like Mario. If I was Sega, I would have only signed the deal, if Sega can keep their IPs or if Sega becomes part of the Sony family.
If not, working with Panasonic and the M.2 would have been huge for Sega, especially if Panasonic is taking most of the financial risk, since they produced and developed the M.2. And like I said before, this could even have helped with the Bandai Sega merger, which would allow Sega to enter different markets with some consumer cross over like manga, toys, models, etc.

And, how is that completely offline version of Darkspore and Battlefield 2142 coming along (You know, one that doesn't require me to disconnect my computer's internet every single time I load up the latter game, and which I still cannot get the patches to actually update anything except make the game crash every half hour)? Or a version of Saints Row 2, Star Wars: Episode 1 - Racer, or Island Xtreme Stunts that doesn't require 8 different patches, a clock test, and demanding me to waste more time actually fixing the damn thing than the amount of time it would take me to beat the game?
Also, last I remember, people still cannot get 20+ year old games like Virtual On to actually work properly at a playable FPS.

I'll give you three words: It just works. Sadly, the same can't said of any console released since 2013.

>Not even bsnes is perfect. There are certain edge cases that the emulators do not handle, or would be infeasable to with the current systems, and that's a system from over two decades ago. None of the Microsoft consoles have worthwhile emulators.
You should also bring up that "Impossible Images" Genesis ROM that only BlastMe can emulate properly.

I don't follow Genesis stuff. But there was that SNES test ROM someone made that would detect what emulator it was being run on, and bsnes got it to display "real hardware" for a time. Until the ROM took a clever approach and went by the way memory initialization was handled on PC vs. console, because it's another thing bsnes does differently. A real SNES has its power-on memory state scrambled but not 100%, there's a partial pattern to the randomness, and they differ by console too.
>Sadly, the same can't said of any console released since 2013.
Honestly, past the initial setup stuff it's generally been "touch game, play game" but I also play entirely singleplayer games and offline.
>Also, last I remember, people still cannot get 20+ year old games like Virtual On
Oh arcade games are another huge exception because of how many different platforms there are relative to games on them. Home consoles attract thousands of games and are also common as dirt.

No, I mean the PC port of Virtual On. Apparently, even to this day, it requires some obscure, 20 year old, $400 NVidia graphics card if you want to get above 20 FPS.

It’s one fucking patch, and it only takes a while if you don’t know what you’re trying to do.
bed1dc No.15822697
>>15822679
You need to the Gentlemen patch, the powertools patch, the powertools clock test, the DirectX pack, the Visual C++ pack, and, after all that, the game still will run choppy, incorrectly, and/or crash.

>and realize that not every game system translates well to PC. DS games for example
VR/AR is a legitimately decent strategy here. All you'd need is a controller shaped roughly like an actual DS with positional tracking on it. Then you could map the displays to the controller. Maybe even put a tracking marker on a stylus for touch-screen integration. Then just 3D print some controllers yourself, or maybe convince some third party company to make bluetooth classic game controllers.

IMO this would only really be worth it if they started up some servers for some games (while making those games orginal DC compatible) or hell, letting you connect to fan servers, added WiFi to the box, and had translated versions of untranslated games. None of that will happen because Sega is retarded and incompetent.

Saturn is more difficult to emulate properly. Dreamcast hardware is very streamlined. Even the Naomi2 was less of a clusterfuck than the Saturn.

I dunno, mate. Sega suddenly "delayed" their Genesis mini console, and I'm one to believe they saw that wouldn't fly given the reputation of those outsourced ones, so they might be focusing on a Saturn or Dreamcast mini instead.
