This presentation will go over the sega Saturns hardware including the dual SH2s, SCU and VDP and the history on why it became so complex like the beginning of the Saturns conseption where it first went wrong.

I plan this presentation to be for hackers interested in such weird hardware like myself

This presentation will cover the conception of the sega Saturn like how the downfall of the Saturn was at it's very beginning and we will also go over it's different processes like the dual SH2s, SCU and VDP and find out why it became so complex.

You may ask why go over such an old console because its gives import lessons on what not to do when designing hardware. But I just find the hardware so interesting with it's different coprocessors

So if you are interested in the Saturn or want to learn about the Saturns shortcomings and not what to do this is a presentation for you
