Thank you very much B2K24 and RB. That is helpful I'll be getting a bunch of Saturn and PC-FX games from my friend next month who's an old school collector, so I can't wait to check these out.
I've been messing around with MESSUI64 this morning. Seems like SegaCD doesn't work?
Also, In you guys' opinion, which is the absolute best frontend for MESS? Does MESS work in Hyperspin? Been hearing a lot of good things about HS.
