    When I saw this on the Saturn console, I was shaking the console to see if they had put magic ✨ into it. To see Daytona running on it, was incredible. I mean you were literally playing the arcade game in your home. How the hell did they that on a tiny console. The pop up never bothered me as I was too busy playing the game. The gameplay the handling is so good it totally became a instant classic back in 1995. Still plays well, and still looks every bit as good 👍.

      Is your ROM made up of a single bin and cue file? If it does, you’ll need to run it through Night of Dragon’s Sega Saturn patcher tool to split the bin into multiple files. Fenrir has issues with homebrew games or patches/translations that use a single bin file. - James.

      @@hpickettz34The point is that it was ported to NEO-GEO by H0ffman (and he’s working on Golden Axe now). Ian then took H0ffman’s port and ran it through the Dream Neo CD emulator with a nice front end and extra features. If you start looking at homebrew projects based purely on the power of the host system relative to the game being run, you’re missing the point of homebrew. Not everything needs to be GTA3 or the second coming of Scud Race.

You can play Shinobi on the Dreamcast as well with the Neo Geo CD emulator for the Dreamcast courtesy of Ian Michael - Dreamcast Talk forum. This is super sweet playing a Sega arcade classic on OG Sega hardware. Hoffman is seemingly working on Golden Axe for Neo Geo next as you stated which will be amazing as well. It would be awesome if Alien Syndrome could be done as well which was another Sega arcade classic that never got a Megadrive port.
