SEGA Saturn Official SEGA Saturn Emulator Appears Online

[Dreadknux]

The SEGA Saturn is famously hard to emulate, due to how the console was originally designed. It's why you don't see too many working emulators for the system out there. But that may change as reportedly SEGA's own Saturn emulator has been leaked onto the internet.

Called Giri Giri, the software was apparently developed by a SEGA enthusiast before the company hired them to formally work on it for their latest commercial efforts. The Giri Giri emulator is technically now an "official" SEGA Saturn emulator and it's being used for the company's new B-Club pay-to-play gaming service in Japan, where a number of Saturn classics are available to launch.

In the wild, Giri Giri can play ISOs from backed up Saturn games - and if you're running Windows 98, it can even help run Saturn game discs themselves!If you're curious about it, you can download the emu by following the steps in this TSSZNews article.

No idea if you can run Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Jam or any of the other Sonic Team classics on this thing, or if it is just limited to the games that were supported on the Japanese B-Club service, but it's an interesting find nonetheless.
