The Sega Saturn has finally been cracked. It took a while.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
good god. The devs are not baristas dude. Total 1% ideals. Fing Chadosaurus.
"The company was unable to focus enough on its main hope"
Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.
Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.
Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

Saturn is an awesome and underappreciated platform. Damn expensive to collect for now but it sure has some really nice arcade ports, especially fighters and shmups.
The Saturn had a great style. I still think the graphics in the Panzer Dragoon series hold up better than most of the PS1 library.
WOW and i though that nobody can cracked Sega Saturn , I took two decade to make it true.
I dont understand, whats the point cracking/hacking a 20 year old console?
I still have mine and I fire it once in a while because the games are unlike any other.
While most people grew up with a ps1, I was the very proud owner of a Saturn and man did I make the right choice, for me at least.
Countless hours of excellent games, burning rangers, guardian heroes, dragon force, virtua fighter virtua cop, sega rally, Shining force 3, Panzer dragoon on rail and Saga, albert odyssey, etc...
I am still skeptical about it's been cracked lol but I keep my hopes up.
Edit: What he has done is incredible, Now I want to purchase it :) Take my money
