Reddit mentions of Virtua Stick - Sega Saturn

Go to a Dollar store and buy the battery there. It's just a normal 2032 flat cell and they usually come in three packs. Since it's such a slow drain, even the cheap brands last a long time, at least a year.

That controller's O.K. I have a couple myself though I prefer either the 3D analog pad or the Model 2 controller; which I just very recently bought for the first time.

Also you didn't look at the shipping, which costs more then the controller asking price!

Here's some links for a controller and things to buy now / eventually.


Look here for the same controller you linked

Try here for a 3D pad

Get one of these!


Get a 4in1 RAM cart Here or Here

More in the future:

Get a Scart cable

And a Scart to HDMI converter

For best picture that's upscaled RGB and will work nicely with any HDTV

To play backups you can do the swap disk trick but first you must know...

If you have a Saturn model 1 with oval buttons and a disk access light; which can indicate when to swap the disk

Or

If you have the Saturn model 2 with round buttons and no access light. The swap trick is a bit harder on this model due to this and increased security but still doable.


Watch Youtube to learn the swap trick on either:

The Saturn Model 1 Swap Trick

Or

The Saturn Model 2 Swap Trick


Just remember not to rip and plow the disk on and off, there's grooved in spaces to get under the disk and you can use left / right leverage with your hand to nicely pop it off. If done properly with minimal force you should be able to do this for a very long time as I have.

You can now boot any burned game for the system. Just watch the country codes on downloads Ie (U), (J), (E). Without the 4in1 cart you just use this software to change the country code of the .ISO.


Grab downloadable games at Emuparadise and TheISOzone

Explore the North American release list for games to find online and most certainly explore the Japanese release list which is more then four times the size, with tons of great games never released here.

That's it. Enjoy the Saturn!
