Do not bother with a saturn, its a noisey slow console that barely can muster psone games. 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.

One thing you mentioned mate and I'll give it to you for sure, Sega Rally on the Saturn, just how smooth that game runs while it's in splitscreen play, self and a few mates had great fun with it over the Christmas holiday actually, really holds up.

I heard there was some good programming going on during the split screen of a few games on the saturn actually which used seperate processors to basically handle both games but not sure if this is true or not.

I guess I just have about 10-15 Saturn games tho whereas I've well over 60 N64 and DC games so I personally got far more value for money from those systems.
