It hurts my soul that I was forced to sell my Saturn and most of the games a few months ago. Dealing with health issues, so I'm not working, and I needed the money for bills 😢. I had it since 1996, a year after launch, and it was in amazing condition. I still have my Dreamcast, at least, but I miss my Saturn.
I feel you, man. While I don't have health issues, I did have some financial issues. I had two factory sealed copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga since launch and a great condition SEGA Saturn console. Had to sell them. It sucks man. But we can always get them back again one day. May not be the same, but still.....
Damn , I feel for you, I had the same situation, but it was my ps1-2 . I see u getting a Saturn again in a year with this rom cart. Sounds great. I already got the fenrir duo rom reader for the Saturn though, it’s amazing
No health issue, but when I was a kid moving home to home, my mother said i can only bring 1 console with us after moving...Atari 2600 or NES have to go bye bye 😢 i had over 90 games on the Atari 2600 & 60 games NES (i kept NES). I don't like emulation, but rebuilding childhood memories costs a lot $$$ versus buying something like Anbernic or Kinhanks HDD loaded with games is tempting.
@@medmuscle I think Sega Saturn is like his twentieth favorite system, not his number 1, 2, or even 3. I've seen him make videos to really sell himself as a Saturn OG, but I think he never did much more than enjoy the obvious stuff like panzer, Daytona, VF2, etc., so yes he's a fan but not like most Saturn fans that would put it up there at the top or very close In other words he's probably a more well adjusted, and rounded gamer than me lol...it's okay rgt, no one can be all-in on every system
MVG recommended these types of products more than a year ago and he was spot on. I have one myself and it’s a must have. I can play games that cost thousands for pennies now
Can't do redbook audio either, for obvious reasons, ISO's doesn't support CDDA tracks, so flashcarts have to use MP3/ADPCM, if you are an audio head, it might be a downside for you (like myself), MiSTer canny do redbook audio either for the same reason, until optical drives are supported for FPGA (only one so far is the Analogue Duo), redbook is basically lossless FLAC quality, so if you have a nice sound setup of cans, you will appreciate the much higher fidelity it has.
@Wobble2007 thanks for that comment. I am a audio freak. The sega saturn is the first system that ever had surround sound capabilities. I'd rather just hack a action replay again to play the entire library than buy this peripheral
I bought my Saroo off Aliexpress a few months back, already have a 4 ion 1 ram cart with pseudo saturn on it. along with my actual games , I can play cd-r games and iso (rom files etc..). The Sega Saturn is really awesome !!!!
@@GenMasterB You have to check the different stores to make sure they accept returns. Also I use paypal to pay for stuff so that in some cases paypal; can get your money back if people try to rip you off.
If you try to run the games that use the VideoCD Card for Saturn with Saroo. Some of them won't load even with the card installed. Lunar for instance. Will not read the video card from Saroo but will off disc using PSK.
I still own my SEGA SATURN, and today you just completed my life. I can die a fulfilled man with this attached to my console. To finally play the games that I've never had the chance to own!
i love how you picked Dodonpachi as an example of something to get rid of, when it's known as one of the best shmups ever made. If that was your "say something stupid in order to get comments"... well done.
Note on Christmas NiGHTS: Elliot's version of that level has a different layout of Rings, orbs & links and everything. So it's actually an exclusive layout of that level that's not in the original (if you play it as Elliot)
Spit my coffee out when Shawn said, "you may not want games such as DoDonpachi." Dude, you either trolling or prepare for the wrath of the shmup community lol
RGT85 has always been a bit of an amateur when it comes to video games & tech.... I'm really not sure how he ever got to this level. There are so few ppl out there that really know their stuff that I guess nobody really noticed or cared.
I got one to reduce wear on my physical library but mostly the drive & laser and it’s pretty good. Still hoping Krikzz will produce an Everdrive for the Saturn someday tho
i have a fenrir and still might get a Saroo. it would be a mememory card AND 1/4mb expansion in one soluiton (i currently have 2 separate carts for that) and the loading times are faster on saroo!
one other thing I'd recommend is a FRAMS mod. The Saturn is NOTORIOUS for deleting saves when your battery dies, so have that as well as a pack of CR2032 batteries
You don't need that modification with saroo, saroo creates a virtual memory, both of the system and the cartridge, for each game similar to an ode with memcard pro.
That's what the backup cart is for, you were never intended to only save on just the Saturn. You're suplosed to use the backup cart accessory to already have your saves backed up before the battery dies.
Not seen Christmas Nights since it first came out, and i too loved it, irc it was a demo disc cd on a Saturn magazine i bought. I am filled with such sickly sweet nostalgia now just seeing that. Thankyou.
I have the fenrir duo, it’s more compatible with the library, even plays hacks like the Castlevania SofN 4mb upgrade version, but I will pick this up as a backup, thanks man, long time supporter 👍🥳happy new year to you & mvg old azz😂
Great vid RGT! This is fantastic though it is not emulation if you are using the actual Saturn hardware to play the game. The only thing is you are using the roms files instead of the physical disc. (which is why everything loads much faster and you have smoother gameplay.) I sold my Saturn games a number of years back and got $150-$200 per game then. I don’t want to think what I would have bern able to sell them at now! You brought back so many memories for me with Christmas Nights. I remember playing that when it was originally released! Thank you for this episode! If I still had my Saturn I would definitely have picked this up!
Ive been using Satiator for years and I never really liked it.. soon as I got my Saroo tho, I’m playing Saturn so much more.. ultra fast loading, less issues overall… Granted I was using Satiator Rings with my Satiator to have cover art and cooler interface.. but I ran into so many problems with it over the years..
I have a MiSTer and the Saturn core is almost perfect accurate like real hw without the "old console to flat TV" hustle. The 8bitdo M30 is the perfect Saturn controller replacement. ☮️
I recently grabbed one for about $60. I already have a Fennrir on one of mine where the disc drive wasn't working. I plugged it in to see if it would work with the Fennrir and when you select load cdrom. It will boot into the Fennrir and i can use that extra 8 MEGABYTES of memory from the Saroo to save. So i have 2 memory cards full of games and extra save memory. I am pleased. 😊
I still ha e my Saturn from 95 and have Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, all the fighting games, etc. I got a Saroo and have my Saturn hooked up to a crt so I can play lightgun games. Works very well.
@RGT85 i would recommend we check if these have beveled edges otherwise you do long term damage to Saturn. Really important the edges are beveled. Great Vid!
I got mine about 5 months ago. For $65 with the SD card on eBay. Looks like this has gone up since I bought it. I put all the games I like on it. And they all play great. Yes I own about 30 Saturn games. Most of them are heavy hitters. Now I don't need to worry about breaking the CDs. Not that I was going to.
Love to see Panzer Dragoon 2 looking so good in real hardware. Yaba Sanshiro is so wobbling. This cartridge sure looks amazing. I hace a Saturn but I don't have a good hd converter. Not even talking about a CRT :(
So pissed that I sold my Master System, Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast all those years ago. This cartridge actually makes my want to go out and buy a Saturn again.
I love these ROM carts, usb or HD drives loaded with games, they really make retro gaming easy to have instant fun on dedicated hardware. I use on my SEGA Genesis, Wii, Dreamcast, Saturn, and now looking to invest in a NEO GEO system. Playing on the actual system is more enjoyable but I do love the loaded HD and retro emulator systems. All in all they have me covered, when I can't carry around my Dreamcast I just pull out an emulator device and enjoy the moment. IMO owning a SEGA Saturn, NEO GEO, and Dreamcast is like owning something close to an actual arcade, the games are outstanding, bright, full of action, animated, sprites, re-playability, just fun games.
I’m sold. I’ll have to get this one day. I had Christmas Nights back in the day… and although I have my original Saturn… I lost or sold Christmas Nights. Good video.
Yeah well, I spent a really long time making quite a few CD-Rs of games I wanted to play on my Sega Saturn, and half the time they didn't even work. I also tried replacing the lens, but the replacement lens was also showing its age. And NOW there's some BETTER technology that comes along AFTER I'm no longer interested in playing the Saturn again anyway!
I just got a white japan saturn w white matching controller kff mercari. Ordered a clear black controller. Transparent blue saroo cartridge with elite chip iff aliexpress and then got a 512gb sd card that has right at 700 saturn games in it and ordered a clear orange sega saturn shell. Also to note i have a mclassic also and it really helps the saturn. And just fully modded a sega dreamcast has with around 450 games. I was about to say what cable you got it looks great. But for og xbox, ps2 and wii i have electron shepherd hdmi adpaters.
i've never owned a sega system in my life, but i really wanna get a saturn and one of these at some point because it seems like it'd be right up my alley. i just don't really have the time or space for another system right now.
I've wanted to play Saturn games since it came out. I finally bit the bullet and bought that 12tb gaming hard drive. Not the actual machine, but I don't want to spend thousands for games.
I have a TerraOnion MODE in my Saturn, but i just put it away to keep it safe... I just got a Mister Pi FPGA, and it plays Saturn AMAZING on a modern TV... Well worth it...
Never owned a Saturn. Almost want to buy one and this even though it would be an unwise expense. But it would be fun to have a true "Saturn user experience."
I’ve always loved the Saturn. But after getting the Sarroo I’ve been playing my Saturn every weekend like I did when I was a kid! I didn’t have a large collection of games for the Saturn and obviously over the years the prices of the games have been getting more and more expensive, even Japanese versions are going up. I refuse to pay the kind of money people are asking and the Sarroo just allows me to enjoy the system again.
My saturn no longer works. There's power but no start up screen or anything. So I bought myself a Saroo console. The problem is the roms from some places don't work on the Saroo. Could be just my fault for using a 1 TB Sandisk sd card.
Load times never bothered me, unless it was a Mortal Kombat game. Shang Tsung morphs and stuff like that, if this makes the load time pretty much disappear for something like that I'd be super pleased
I googled for Saturn Saroo and there seems to be many "compatibility lists" floating around, so I guess it's not as perfect as an optical emulator. Since I only own a handful of physical games, I rather prefer owning a Fenrir over the Saroo.
Yeah, I really want to see a head to head comparison between saroo, saitiator, and terraonion mode. There was a fpga project but it looks like that was a scam now.
well they do warn about at and still deliver a pack with 120 or 250 games so out of those I'm guessing plenty work fine? I'll be happy to just play Panzer Dragoon again like that ^^ everything else is bonus
I almost bought a Saturn, probably in 2017. I think I found one for $60. I could be wrong about the price, but I think that's what it was selling for. But then I looked up Shining Force 3 on eBay and it was selling for $300. If I knew I just had to wait for 7 years for something like this, I would've bought it. Lol
Yo, RGT 85. I know Disney Plus isn't your thing, but over on there, on Christmas Day, there will be a live-animated version of the Knicks vs. Spurs game will feature 3D Models of the players, plus a Halftime Slam Dunk Contest with Mickey & Friends! I just thought I'd bring it up, since the Knicks are your team. Frankly, that reminds me of Disney Sports Basketball. Still that's deviating from the current video's topic. I never had a SEGA Saturn. Never had a Dreamcast before, either.
Definitely getting Saroo at some point but right now my japanese Saturn is good enough since I'm interested mostly in japanese games which are still quite cheap. When I want to play west released games or fan translations that's when I buy a Saroo. 😃
It’s $40 with 128 gb worth of games on Ali Express. Only issue I had was most of the games are the Japanese versions and there is a lot of Japanese puzzle games on it wasting space on the card but Christmas Nights was already on it. Ended up having to find the US and European roms myself but definitely wouldn’t shell out over $100 for it.
Saturn was always a fun looking system. I decided to UN mod my ps3 earlier. I just wanted to enjoy it plain Jane. My new controller works with PlayStation premium so I may get that. I have been trying to boost the Xbox forever now and I think I am giving in to games more my style. You would not believe how many PS5 Best Buy had today and it is the Christmas season. I won't have any trouble getting a regular with a disk drive that is for sure.
MiSTerFPGA core is pretty fire right now too. I understand people wanting the original hardware though, i've been enjoying Saturn in a astro city recently with the new updates to it.
Hey @RGT can I use this with the Saturn that has a broken disc drive? I'm about to buy one for $20 just to do this but I want to make sure I can do this first. The console turns on and everything just the drive is broke

The Saroo isn't able to do Action Replay codes, that's the only downside. But a $70 cart with the entire game library on it, you can't beat that.

I think the SAROO is cool but I really like the Fenrir. It’s great to have all these options.
i have a fenrir and still might get a Saroo. it would be a mememory card AND 1/4mb expansion in one soluiton (i currently have 2 separate carts for that) and the loading times are faster on saroo!

Isn't this about 60 bucks on Aliexpress??
Thanks for the heads up! I'm definitely going to be grabbing one of these.
Currently unavailable. Hopefully Saroo will make more.
There are loads and loads of sellers for these... Just look around. Also, this one is grossly overpriced at 100 bucks. They go for much less than that
Bought one months ago the best thing is if you've got a Sega Saturn that's not reading discs you can use this to play games on it
I have a Satiator which is the perfect way to play Saturn backups, in spite of its high cost. Saroo looks pretty cool though.
The fast loading is worth considering...happy with my satiator as well though
If I didn't already have one I probably would get this though at roughly a third the cost
Love my Satiator! Spendy but worth it.
Ive been using Satiator for years and I never really liked it.. soon as I got my Saroo tho, I’m playing Saturn so much more.. ultra fast loading, less issues overall…
Granted I was using Satiator Rings with my Satiator to have cover art and cooler interface.. but I ran into so many problems with it over the years..
And like.. $260 vs $40… crazy! Saroo is a game changer 100%
Been waiting for this video. Couldn’t click the link fast enough, and it’s sold out. Any thoughts on a replacement or second option?
Segata Sanshiro would be proud of you RGT!
No longer avail on amazon =(

That's cool! I have 2 Sega Saturn, one US one JPN. I also own a Satiator, but I heard about this Saroo! Nice!
And here I am playing Xmas nights into dreams. Saturn is my top 2 favorite console of all time.
What's your other favorite...out of curiosity?
I recently grabbed one for about $60. I already have a Fennrir on one of mine where the disc drive wasn't working. I plugged it in to see if it would work with the Fennrir and when you select load cdrom. It will boot into the Fennrir and i can use that extra 8 MEGABYTES of memory from the Saroo to save.

So pissed that I sold my Master System, Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast all those years ago. This cartridge actually makes my want to go out and buy a Saturn again.

The console it self is crazy in price these days so I emulated Saturn on my pc and it’s upscaled and looks amazing
Why would you get rid of DonPachi?!?! On the Saturn!!!!

I have a TerraOnion MODE in my Saturn, but i just put it away to keep it safe... I just got a Mister Pi FPGA, and it plays Saturn AMAZING on a modern TV... Well worth it...
Hot tip. Dodonpachi is one of the best shmups on Saturn. Keep it.
Super easy to emulate today. Forget about accumulation
Never owned a Saturn. Almost want to buy one and this even though it would be an unwise expense. But it would be fun to have a true "Saturn user experience."
I bought It from Ali Express for $50 and some change with a 128 gb mini SD card. Picked a virtua stick in its box for $50 for black Friday.
Only issue is that leaving these cards in over time stretches out the pins in the cartridge slot and it will eventually stop working.
You're saying it backwards. It's taking them in and out is what bends the pins. It's recommended to LEAVE the cartridge in.
I’ve always loved the Saturn. But after getting the Sarroo I’ve been playing my Saturn every weekend like I did when I was a kid! I didn’t have a large collection of games for the Saturn and obviously over the years the prices of the games have been getting more and more expensive, even Japanese versions are going up.
I refuse to pay the kind of money people are asking and the Sarroo just allows me to enjoy the system again.

Load times never bothered me, unless it was a Mortal Kombat game. Shang Tsung morphs and stuff like that, if this makes the load time pretty much disappear for something like that I'd be super pleased
6:43 It's not emulating anything at all. This isn't emulation, it's just the games loading faster because they're on a cart instead of a CD.
Got a new version of the sarong this week. It is perfect. I like it very much and its is still in development
This video was up 20 hours ago and everywhere is saying it's unavailable even your link
sure, get rid of dodonpachi, the god of shmups.
I googled for Saturn Saroo and there seems to be many "compatibility lists" floating around, so I guess it's not as perfect as an optical emulator. Since I only own a handful of physical games, I rather prefer owning a Fenrir over the Saroo.
This is awesome
Now my issue is getting my PAL Saturn to work on a modern TV
Saroo , S-Video , Trinitron , Retrobit Wireless Controller. You are SET 4 Life. My favorite game experience.
*RGB SCART 😁🫶
got mine at ali express for $30 with no sd card :)
Saroo also doesn’t have full compatibility…
Yeah, I really want to see a head to head comparison between saroo, saitiator, and terraonion mode. There was a fpga project but it looks like that was a scam now.
What games specifically don't work?
well they do warn about at and still deliver a pack with 120 or 250 games so out of those I'm guessing plenty work fine?
I'll be happy to just play Panzer Dragoon again like that ^^ everything else is bonus
@Interblaze if I ever get one, I will personally test the entire US library and see and I can get into the first level of every game.
Firmware updates could fix this in the future
Glad to see Sega Saturn finally getting some more love! Panzer Dragoon Saga is my jam!
I almost bought a Saturn, probably in 2017. I think I found one for $60. I could be wrong about the price, but I think that's what it was selling for. But then I looked up Shining Force 3 on eBay and it was selling for $300. If I knew I just had to wait for 7 years for something like this, I would've bought it. Lol
glad to see some saturn love!
Yo, RGT 85. I know Disney Plus isn't your thing, but over on there, on Christmas Day, there will be a live-animated version of the Knicks vs. Spurs game will feature 3D Models of the players, plus a Halftime Slam Dunk Contest with Mickey & Friends! I just thought I'd bring it up, since the Knicks are your team.
Frankly, that reminds me of Disney Sports Basketball. Still that's deviating from the current video's topic. I never had a SEGA Saturn. Never had a Dreamcast before, either.
Definitely getting Saroo at some point but right now my japanese Saturn is good enough since I'm interested mostly in japanese games which are still quite cheap. When I want to play west released games or fan translations that's when I buy a Saroo. 😃
Bought my first Sega Saturn two years ago…this is exactly what I need!
I wish they would get it so u have box art that's pry only thing missing
It’s $40 with 128 gb worth of games on Ali Express. Only issue I had was most of the games are the Japanese versions and there is a lot of Japanese puzzle games on it wasting space on the card but Christmas Nights was already on it. Ended up having to find the US and European roms myself but definitely wouldn’t shell out over $100 for it.
picking one up in a few months, but off aliexpress seems like its cheaper
I have 2 saturns: one that is modded to play cd-r's and the other at stock. Might take a look at this.
Saturn was always a fun looking system. I decided to UN mod my ps3 earlier. I just wanted to enjoy it plain Jane. My new controller works with PlayStation premium so I may get that. I have been trying to boost the Xbox forever now and I think I am giving in to games more my style. You would not believe how many PS5 Best Buy had today and it is the Christmas season. I won't have any trouble getting a regular with a disk drive that is for sure.
MiSTerFPGA core is pretty fire right now too. I understand people wanting the original hardware though, i've been enjoying Saturn in a astro city recently with the new updates to it.
Did you try the Knights on Wii?
Sold out bro.
Aliexpress - Ebay
I want a SEGA Saturn so bad, eventually I’ll get one though.
We need a saturn homebrew which is what if capcom made the konami xmen arcade game beat em up and it should use the marvel vs capcom sprites
I had a Genesis but not a Saturn. I’m considering trying to find a Saturn now though.
Oh man...time to buy a Saturn. There goes my Christmas money.
Hey @RGT can I use this with the Saturn that has a broken disc drive? I'm about to buy one for $20 just to do this but I want to make sure I can do this first. The console turns on and everything just the drive is broke
Just get rid of DoDonPachi? Whoops.
