There are a few psone games which look sort of smoother on it at times, like Wipeout can look nicer on the saturn, but other than that it is a complete waste of cash. For a laugh I set up my Sega Saturn and Gamecube with its GBA player attached and popped my GBA copy of doom and saturn doom in... The Saturn one actually manages to chug along at a slower framerate than the GBA game. |
Two things.....
1. It helps to ram expansion cart.
2. While some 3D games didn't run as "smoothly" (as you say) as on PSone, that was mainly multiplats. And when it came to 2D games, Saturn kicked the Playstation right out of orbit. Arcade ports of that era were SO much better on Saturn because of load time issues PS1 had. And 2D games like Mega Man X 4 and Symphony of the Night ran smoother on Saturn in general, plus as I pointed out in my other post, the system had a lot of great exclusives. I'd hardly call that waste of cash, it's just a matter of actually finding this stuff.
