- Update Feb 2017 - you can now support this amazing guy via patreon: / prof_abrasive
A detailed look into Dr Abrasive's lab and what it took to engineer a plug-in-flash-card for the Sega Saturn.
Update: Dr Abrasive now has a twitter! / prof_abrasive Discussion is now over at assemblergames.com/l/threads/s...
FYI: This is not a commercial product. It also is still being tweaked.
FYI: The sound patch designer tool shown is in early early days! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I'm blown away by not just the knowledge of the engineer, but the knowledge of the interviewer. He actually had a functioning understanding of the hardware and asked informed questions. Far more informed than I'd expected.
Good shit.
its all arranged like what u see on raw wrestling for example.
Agreed. The fact the interviewer didn't ask stupid questions was 90% of why this vid was good.
@@ultimaIXultima Having no understanding of what they were talking about, I was impressed by how the conversation was pretty clearly not between one informed person and some ignoramus like myself.

This dude represents everything that is right in the world. Backwards engineering a classic system for the good of us all.
I knew there was something in there that was good for us all lol
😁😁😁😁
People like him will get sued by the companies
Hi possible for me to give you by the post my sega Saturn japanese model by the post and you crack my sega for me I will pay u by PayPal is ok please give me your info PayPal I will give you my sega and pay thank u Michel trottier canada I will wait 4 your respond thank u in advance??
I will give you my sega Saturn Japan by the post and put the crack on my sega possible. I will pay you by PayPal give me info PayPal thanks and your adress I will ship to you
This guy doesn't need a resume for the rest of his life.
what.. you think he applies to jobs? probably the kid selling skimmers, runs and sells zombies for ddosing, RAT installations, etc, probably shit than just that
Edward's definition of a *_1337 H4XX0R_*
SimonTekConley what because he can read instructions? I don't think so.
lol netbookeater - I'd like to see you program a damn jQuery form.
Read instructions? You can't even realyze what those instructions do. hahahahaha
Thank god for people like this, mad respect!
i love u
I just came here to say exactly that. People like this guy are who truly advance the world.
+1 to that. This guy is a fucking boss.
God bless this wonderful man! =)
that's why we need hackers as well. (Anonymous) There are good hackers as well as bad. For him and the rest of us, he is a good hacker. For bad are the people taking our credit card info and our security. To Sega, he is a bad hacker to them.
I just got my Satiator today. The work that went into this is nothing less than amazing.
27 minutes of me just staring at a clearly superior human being wondering wtf i'm doing with my life.
What truly makes this guy awesome, is that he never once said how awesome he was.
If humans who sit on toilets and poop made it, other humans who sit on toilets and poop can understand it. There's nothing superhuman about it.
Dedication is everything, he probably was able to tinker with things since he was a child, and of course, whatever career he studied must have helped quite a lot.
I have been a programmer for years and while there is always someone more skilled out there, don't let that stifle your capacity for creativity.
@@MoonOvIce It's very possible he never studied it formally, and just did hardware hacking. In fact, in these cases, formal study can interfere because you learn how you are "supposed to do" and reverse engineer from that, rather than "hacking" (as in the original sense of the word), looking for shortcuts and vulnerabilities. I'm telling you this because my life was basically ruined by "studying for a career", while my hardware hacking friends have much better careers from studying whatever interested them. If you've graduated from high school, or whatever secondary school is called in your country, seriously think of not going to university. Certainly in the US, university ("college") is a debt trap and not worthwhile for starting an actual career. If you think otherwise, you've been duped.
I noticed this in passing. I worked for SEGA development in the 90's. So it's come as a surprise that our security has lasted this long. You are still missing some key tools. One being CodeScape as it was one of the first multi-processor development platforms. This was written by Cross Products the development tools division of SEGA. The Saturn development platforms were SCSI based communications onto a piggy backed main processor.
The Key disks did allow you to run your code without security but on a one shot basis. You have to use the key disk every time. There was no code to make this mode survive a reboot. This only worked reliably on piggy back boards.
Imagination Technology still produce CodeScape. However, the all important black box (CartDev) we produced is now nowhere to be seen today. A working version is a must have.
The head count of who new all the details of the processor interface is in single figures. At least you found the wobble. Haha!
Now that all the hard work is done, the guys from Sega appear... Too late, pal, too late...
Yup. The Piggybacked Processor embedded in the CD Driver is codenamed "Milkway" its a hidden SH-1.
The Saturn was a bit ahead of it's time. Mr O'Brian, you mean one of those: segaretro.org/Saturn_CartDev ?
Huh?
That's awesome I wish SEGA still manufactured consoles.
I can't imagine the kind of intelligence required to do something like this. Fantastic work all round. Great vid dudes.
Actually it mainly depends on your nature and interest.
He certainly learned about structure of chips etc.
And reading Assembly through the help of IDA isn't sorcery either.
However it doesn't mean it's easy, but it's far away from rocket science (or maybe not, lol).

You know that there are many great artists? So is this. This guy surely knows his job and made great work for a wider audience through dedication and will. And for that he deserves respect. However it's mostly work, not something impossible as stated in the comment I responded to.
Agreed. Incredible guy!

I'm a 4th year elec eng student in the depths of semester and needed a break from the grind of it. Watched this to gain some respite. Had no idea what I was being introduced to. Dr Abrasive, you are truly and inspiration and absolute freak of exemplifying the combination of brains and persistence. You have inspired the pants off me. Thank you sir. Back to grind:)
How did it turn out? Grind paid off?

falled apart? fell apart.

What a smart dude.
This guy is a testament to why the homebrew scene is so resourceful. Much respect to this guy. And the interviewer too
4 year old vid but thank you. Both video maker and engineer here. I love Saturn games, rediscovered it as I didnt have one as a kid but man it's a fun console, especially with JP games. Thanks for keeping the hardware alive and injecting the Saturn scene with much more interest!! :)
Why would people dislike this video? It's amazing
Lots of jealous bitter people who hate people who can do things they can't.
PlayStation Fanboys... :(
SEGA employees.
people who just dislike things for the hell of it?
Probably pissed because the Saturn is going to be scalped to high Hell on Ebay after this.
I understood almost none of that yet still found it utterly fascinating :)
me too and I fell asleep to the video but yea still so much in this world I don't know anything about.
I got about 17mins in before i realised this is irrelevant for me (never owned a Saturn, not interested in owning one)... but like you said, fascinating to listen to all the same.
Nic & Andrea Hills lmfao same
Nic & Andrea Hills Dumb ass.
Was about to say the same thing. Maybe because a piece of your childhood was on display and felt engaged see the outcome
This is my forth time watching this video, every seconds of it..still have absolutely no idea what he's talking about..yet i feel happy...

Uve watched this 4 times?? That's sad
oh lol then study electrical engineering .
@@NirtieDigger i feel happy, i dont feel sad
I can follow everything he’s saying but can’t do any of it. He’s just an expert at his craft. Years of experience.
Possibly the best video of the Saturn architecture since Sega was actually creating this machine. This guy is a damn hero. Did he ever have a coffee fund for his work?
This guy is a sicko. He went and told the emulator makers how to perfect the emulation? wow fuck man thats impressive. He's a hero amoung the emulation community. Massive respect
traida111 sicko is bad slang though. Not a good thing to be a 'sicko'
Michael
not where I come from. you never heard of "sick skills". etc? sicko is used in some cultures as slang for, hmm, like "slick abilities \ skills". You should just read all my comment and get an overall feel for my "intention", which is fundamentally positive. I understand why you could misinterpret but when I watched him on the video he was like a rockstar to me. that shit it fucking incredible...
Sicko and "sick skills" aren't the same. Where the fuck do you live?

20 years to crack the Saturn, and 20 days to crack the Dreamcast lol
Frog Dog maybe more strain on the laser, but I don't think it'd break... a friend of mine has a Dreamcast still and it plays normal and burnt games just fine.
Frog Dog There's a guy who made a similar hack to this one for Dreamcast, for just that reason (the DC lasers wear out from playing burned discs, which is very hard on the drive.)
Anyway, this guy figured out how to bypass the gd-rom drive completely and use a hard drive/sd card instead.

Man this guy makes me realise how dumb I am.
how about the guy who made it in the first place
@@mordimustafa1275 the team u mean also they are asians

@john jones Well in current year it's hard to tell when someone is trolling because there are so many sjws that are actually that dumb.
Had you spent your life learning about this stuff you wouldn't think he was smart at all.
Not sure how I stumbled onto this but its refreshing how dedicated and open he is with his work. Thanks for the video.
I just love watching and listening to someone this brilliant. I don't really understand most of it, but I deeply appreciate the process and efforts made by those who do.
I understood every single thing he explained.
One reason why I think emulators and roms should be completely legal is because these older consoles are so aged that they are starting to die.
Controllers stop working, disk drives burn out, the console itself might take a dump. If you're someone who still enjoys the classic games, it gets harder and harder to actually play them legitimately. Finding replacement parts is very difficult and will soon be impossible as time goes on.
We need to take steps now and preserve older games, we need to archive all games because it's a form of art and entertainment that should be passed down and not lost.
ExzoSSG But then you wouldn't buy the new one...
ExzoSSG this is my argument against a all digital future
Like these guys: archive.org/details/software
roms/game copies are essentially legal, if you own the original game hardcopy, with 20 year old licensing bringing some of these games back to life might not be possible
dude , it doesnt even really matter. you can download all the roms and emulators in the world and your chances of being imprisoned or anything is slim to none. Nobody really gives a shit and doesnt have time to prosecute some mid-20s to a teenage kid for roms from the 1990s
And I thought I was a Tech genius when I built my first PC...
Mr.Money These guys are just total nerds. I myself plan to go down this route later in life. I think it'll be fun.
protip: it won't.

FYI, I developed the hardware interface (cartridge slot) for the cross compiler (CodeScape) along with a cd emulator back in 1993 ish for the Saturn. It's weird seeing it 25+ years later!!! I also developed a whole host of other ICE and Emulator hardware for other game consoles. This was for a company that was then called Cross Products in the UK.
The Saturn had 2x SH4 cpus and a 68K for sound IIRC. Don't have any info now though. Basically a SCSI2 interface to the PC for download/upload. The CD Emulator was a switch that multiplexed a SCSI2 HDD between a PC and the Saturn.
The CD image was placed on the HDD and the Saturn booted it up. (from memory so this might be incorrect). I had the FPGA/CPLD do all the memory mapping of the SCIS2 and some DPRAM as the interface to a serial converter for CD loading with RS422 buffers IIRC. There was an FPGA (Xilinx 3000 series and a XC95xxx CPLD IIR), DPRAM and an SH2 as the main cpu on the emulator, I also had a front panel LCD + Buttons. Some of my talented colleagues developed the firmware on the emulator. My boss at the time was a very well recognised games programmer. A brilliant man who surrounded himself with other very talented people. I am very proud to have worked with a team of people like this in my career. Serious talent in a small building in Leeds !! I now develop ASICs and high complexity FPGAs.
I didn't understand 95% of what u said haha but this is awesome! The Saturn, thought it didn't become a commercial success is part of gaming history :) thanks for your comment !
speak english please
Can you recommend any resources for becoming a great programmer?
@DreamsComeTrue, the way I got started was to write Assembly code (hand coded btw) for the 6502. In reality you could get an 8086 assembler and a good book on 8086 and start writing Assembly code. I would avoid jumping into C and high level languages to start out with because you can pick up bad habbits. The advantage of writing assembly is that you really have to think about what you are doing and you also get an insight into how a microprocessor functions. You will have to learn what the CPU registers do and what states the CPU runs through. This will make you a great programmer. This is basically how all the games programmers got their skills. This takes time (months to years) and once you have a grasp on this I'd suggest the next step is playing with an Arduino with an ARM cpu. Try coding in assembly again. It's harder because it's a RISC architecture but you'll get a feel for it.
Once you've done that then use C and see what code it generates. Playing with an Arduino will teach you about IO's and interfaces. Once you're at this stage you are really up there with a good understanding. From there you can pick up other stuff quickly.
I would add that it's worth getting a mentor and paying attention to what they teach you. Maybe a club nearby (maker fair etc) ?
Stay away from a Raspberry Pi to start out with. That's a really complex system and OS for a beginner.
I would also add it's worth it's weight in gold to attend a technical university. I don't know where you are in your academic life but if you're younger you most definitely can benefit from playing with microprocessors now. I started writing assembler when I was 13. I had a fantastic mentor so I was lucky. However you have to work at it. It does take a lot of time and reading!! I still love Assembly BTW. But now I develop my own CPU's and microcode!!! Even better !!!
This is so fascinating and exciting! You just gotta love the enthusiasm from these guys, amazing. I love stumbling upon videos like these, with extremely passionate and dedicated people, no matter what they are invested in. People are just awesome

Clever Brunozoid if you can speak "computer nerd" it all makes sense, the amazing thing isnt what he's done, its that he had the drive and recorces to do it
I've worked in software for 30 years- met tons of smart people. It's very rare to meet someone who has such intimit, fundamental knowledge of the inner workings of any system, much less 30-year old never cracked proprietary game console. This dude is the real deal.

impressive what is more impressive that even today to date it's proven a near impossible task to crack the protection.
Sega build a tank of a console there which is worth mentioning
The protection has been cracked years ago, through mod chips, this is slightly different.

You clearly did NOT WATCH THE video, he did hell of lot more than what the mod-chip did he even explains that in detail in the video...
I did watch the video, im talking just about the copy protection, this was bypassed ages ago and my reply was to address the comment about cracking protection, which you mentioned.
try to crack the code for Primal Rage ot Primal Rage 2. it has some of the most notorious codes that still have not been successfully cracked

John Young best comment
wow SEGA really overengineered their copy protection
and this guy is seriously amazing. i dont know what he does for a living, but it looks like companies should really keep an eye on him and hire him fast
He's probably an electrical engineer. He knows quite a bit of the electrical components and how to code. Also look at the setup that he has.
I see this said all the time. Electrical engineers =/= ELECTRONICS engineers.
I have a strange feeling that he's employed.
Doesn't really matter I think. Electronics engineers are a sub-section of electrical engineers.
And then Dreamcast happened.
This takes time and money. For a system like this, which is NOTORIOUSLY hard to program for, this is amazing work! I'd rather it be perfect than rushed. Prototypes are out for Patreon members.

very good work mate.
What a genius.. You no idea how smart and intelligent this man is.. Makes us IT people and techies look like fools. We need more talent like these in the emulation scene.. Especially the beloved Dreamcast!
Um. No. He just spent 3 years on this and this only. If you had an IT team dedicated to this, they could do this in a few months. Maybe less
The Mastr that may be so, but this man did it ALL on his own, and to do it like this deffinantly shows his intelligence AND his peesonal drive to prove it can and should be done.

God bless you sir. You must be one of the great ones out there actively cracking EA, Ubisoft, etc games for us PC gamers. For science of course.
reverse engineering a console is not the same as cracking a game
This guy is affected to the most beautiful madness ! This is awesome !

And so do I. Really interesting. The good thing is though, every time I watch it, I understand a tiny bit more due to own experience made.
Guys like this are our only hope when ai starts taking over.
Guys like this are why we have to worry about AI. Thanks for inventing that, Einsteins.
nope, humans can't move fast enough to take down a fully fuctional AI, which would be able to detect the intruder before the intruder will be able to make any significant findings.
There's a difference between something sitting on your desk with it's core opened to you, and something shooting at you.
Regardless, ai will never happen, consciousness will never be produced by human or artificial hands.
if you think this guy is good, imagine the people who built it. This probably only had a handful of prototypes early on, so literally designing on paper right to the factory.
Sub Urban Diy Guy
Its actually guys like this that are creating Ai so dont gush too much, and some of them are just too drone like (follows orders) to even care about humanity. Just hint at them they need to install a wide ass back door.
Neither of us are doing AI code FTR! Except for a IRC bot that passes on the cricket score in realtime.
Amazing knowledge to take in. Thank you..
I could listen to this guy talk about things I have no clue about all day long. Great presenter.
this is spectacular.. some people are just... damn man i feel awful about myself
Hey now, at least you're looking up to this legend. The first step is knowing what you want.
The trick is to start small and expand as you go along. Eventually you'll be both a grower and a shower.
believe in yourself.
The reason I got this far is because a) I picked something I cared about and b) I stuck at it until I got there, even though at times it was very painful and I wanted to give up. In this case, whenever that happened I'd just put the project down for a while - for anywhere between a day and three months - until I felt like picking it up again. Ultimately stubbornness will get you just about anywhere.
+Dr. James Thank you for such a positive message. And for showing all of us out there how things go when not everyday's a sunny day. As a developer I can surely appreciate that.
I love watching videos like this and pretend like I know what they’re talking about and what’s going on.
Same here
😂 lol
Its more exciting pretending lol
When you actually learn this stuff, listening to people talk about it is very boring!
And then like the comments with lots of likes as if I know what they are on about
It's like watching a foreign language movie with no subtitles. You understand a few bits and pieces, and you get the gist of the plot, but if anyone asks you for specifics you respond with, "duh..duh...duh......"
Good work, fascinating stuff. I really enjoyed watching. Namaste
Smart one!!! Respect for the greate job... Please continue the project...
My first attempt to hack the Sega Saturn was to insert the SEGA Saturn CD into my PC hoping it would play. I was ten. :D
That's where you start clicking on files and see what they do... then trying to force them into freeware viewers and "game resource ripping" tools to see what can be extracted. I was 12 ;-)
it's a story someone would have told but he was the first, dont be an asshole
DRVR 99 not to be rude, but misspelling removes what little impact your insult had

absolute fuckin degenerates, the lot of you
@Travis Edwards Hahahah oh man, Phd in engineering... that was a good one!
He's working on enabling pornhub to be viewed on a gameboy.
I really enjoyed learning just how sophisticated the Sega Saturn is, and the reverse engineering/deconstruction you had to do to find the modern work-arounds. I appreciate the complexity :-)
Just opened the video to leave a like and tell you that you are a legend
Would love to support this guy...
Take my money!!
Dude is DEEP in the matrix.
Suicide_King More like OUT of the matrix.
Yes he is. He's using all his intellect for child games.
I use to think I was a fairly intelligent person, turns out I'm a potato
Yes you are.
Amazing work. Very cool.
