Yes, it's really quite good right now, and very accessible under programs like OpenEmu. I have a Saturn hooked up to a CRT still, but the emu doesn't feel very different these days.
I finally saw this a few days ago knowing that there was some controversy but not what it was about. When I googled "TLJ Controversy" the first thing I found was not the controversies, but articles criticizing the people who found the film controversial. Very odd.
Anyway, after finding out that the main concern for fans was the amount of women in the film and the attempts at making Luke Skywalker interesting, I was pretty surprised. Those are some of the better decisions in the film.
The film was fine. It's too bad people are tripping over themselves to hate on the film, other viewers, the cast, etc etc. Just so much mean spiritedness being thrown around in all directions over what was a perfectly enjoyable film.
I use wooden dowels that I get for free from Ikea. Drill a hole large enough in the stripped area or the dowel, use a bit of wood glue and then hammer the dowel in.
Probably has a lot to do with the fact that you have 30 years of music queues you can draw from now. Instead of having a 35 piece orchestra score each episode, they can just re-use.
There is an official emulated version available on the PS3 PSN store. It was developed by a supremely talented small Japanese company called M2. In the game, they included an option to overclock the CPU and it makes a big difference. My favourite way to play the game.
M2 was also responsible for the 3D Sega classics on 3DS which are incredible.
Both 16-bit machines, but vastly different CPUS. Motorola 68K vs a Toshiba of some sort. They bot have Zilogs for sound though, so maybe SNK used some code sharing there?
End of the day, SNK wisely chose to create unique experiences based on their arcade games for the system, but it was ultimately crushed by the Gameboy Color and Pokemon.
This app store thing just burned me pretty bad when I cleared my machine and did not back up Airmail 2. When I went back to install it, It was no longer on the app store and I was informed that there was no way to get it again unless I paid for Airmail 3.
This is where just having a license key and a dmg somewhere is preferable.
For a company to be so visionary and forward thinking on the arcade front, being a pioneering force of 3D polygonal games, it is astonishing that they released the Saturn in the form they did. You had to be a assembly savant to get decent 3D performance out of the Saturn that your average programmer could easily obtain on the Playstation using C. The VDP2 was pretty impressive though...
