So I think we could get a Dreamcast mini far sooner. System 32 and Model 1 are more complex to emulate than DC. In fact, I'm fairly sure that the hardware they used in their own Astro City Mini would run it, and that was reasonably priced. Sure, the Megadrive mini's board isn't quite up to the task, but there are off the shelf system on chip hardware that can do it, or if they want to just go the route of developing their own unique hardware, its not that much of a step up needed. Many low cost devices can do a decent job at emulating it, as the hardware is a lot more similar to modern hardware (Saturn had multiple different gpus & cpus running at once). Though it may seem weird to some as its a newer and more powerful console, a Dreamcast mini would be much easier and cheaper.

sadly as I would love one more than I know how to accurately express. I've said many times I think we're a few years away from an affordable Saturn Mini.

It takes a pretty beefy PC (decent multicore processor & fast ram as well as hi-spec graphics card) to reliably do the job. I was surprised when I saw recently that the Switch can do a pretty good job for some games at least, I figured even Switch would struggle. The Saturn needs pretty intensive hardware to emulate, things like a Rasberry Pi or your standard Chinese emulation devices (even the $200ish ones) can't even begin to handle it. Okunari is aware of the demand overseas but remains focused on Japan for now, where the team knows the market.Īlthough the price of the second Mega Drive Mini system is higher - due to an improved chipset, more memory to fit Mega CD games, and the increased price of components, Okunari is confident the larger library of games will justify the price. It's worth noting there will still be a "much lower production run" of this device - with the initial focus on stocking Japan. so, even if they'd forged ahead with a Saturn Mini anyway, it might've been extremely expensive-he jokes that he might like to release a mini that costs as much as an authentic modern consoleĪnd that's when the Mega Drive Mini 2 came into the picture, as an "extension" of the original one - making it a lot more manageable during a pandemic, in terms of the schedule and manufacturing. He's sure will be like "what about Saturn/Dreamcast Mini?" it's not like they didn't explore the idea-the MD Mini's internals can't adequately handle Saturn games, and both developing and manufacturing new chipsets during the pandemic is a difficult & expensive process
