A NEW Sega Saturn emulator out (Cassini)

Post by sydtheslipprey »

Hi there dont if you guys know about this but hers the info:

Cassini is a new Saturn emulator for Windows that now has a slew of controversy around it. There are claims from many sides about the legality of it and many sides concerning simply the morality and ethics involved. It is a hacked version of GiriGiri. Until this emulator has been deemed illegal, we'll provide a download. Not sure how long that might be, so you may want to get it now. As with all Saturn emulators, a Saturn BIOS is needed.

I tried an earlier version of Cassini last year (it's not exactly new) and it played Nexus OK but with the same flaws as GiriGiri. It'll be interesting to see if this latest version is any better.

Cassini was not well received in the emulation community for several good reasons:

The authors claim their emulator is open source: they only took GiriGiri program, make a dissassembly and supply the text assembly file. Anyone can do that with any program. Girigiri is still copyrighted.

The last version is supplied with original ROMs images.

They claim the programs and tools supplied with cassini are theirs. The truth is that they took several existing programs (girigiri, cdmage, ...), they changed their names withtout asking for any permission to the real authors and included them in their "product". They have just developed a nice front-end to make things easier to use. No real work on emulation itself.

In the end, it is true that Cassini is easier to use than plain Gigirigi, but you will get the same emulation result because in the background it really is the same emulator.

Also note that Girigiri itself is illegal (the versions available on the internet are based on a hack of the commercial emulator by Sega).


Has someone tried the latest version of SSF with DM Nexus? I can't try it myself because I don't have an Intel processor and SSF requires SSE2 instructions (anyone with Pentium IV ?)

Did someone have a problem with the emulator while playing the games? I downloaded all the Sega Saturn Emulators from here https://www.retrostic.com/emulators/saturn but I can't start playing the game. Did the emulators need updates or the games are broken.
