Modder Turns Sega Saturn Into A Portable Device Called Sega Uranus
Decades after the release of the Sega Saturn, modder TZMWX created the Sega Uranus. This isn’t just any old Pi based emulator. This is the actual Sega Saturn chopped up and squeezed into a handheld.
The Sega Saturn used to only be a plug-in home device, but no longer. Thanks to modder TZMWX, fans can now see what the 64-bit system would look like if it transformed into a portable console. TZMWX dubbed their invention the Sega Uranus, riffing on the planet-themed name that Sega used for the original console.
