Look, I don't know what to tell you here. You're downvoting me (or someone is) because you're not understanding the point of what they're doing. That's ok, but it's not ok to claim victory here because you don't understand the point of what they're doing, or you're not knowledgeable about the intricacies of the retro gaming/emulation world.
It's not to make an emulator for the general public. It's to take an original board, and put it into a SFF (Small Form Factor) and have a perfect, 1:1 system that can play any Saturn game. Any game. No chipset issues. And it looks like an original Saturn, just smaller.
This appeals to a very specific set of people who care about compatibility and functionality of the games they're playing.
It's not a general emulator or general device. If you want one of those, you can already build one.
It's a thing that does exactly what it says it does. And it appeals to a very specific type of crowd. Which is, apparently, not you. That's ok. But don't trash it just because you don't understand it.
