Both Saturn and Dreamcast have much cheaper options which do require slight bit of work.... meaning converting images to CDI ...

A word of warning about Terra onion. I purchased a NeoGeo AES SD PRo flash cart i December 2019. After I received it, a month later DHL(courrier) started asking me 105 CDN to pay for import and their own Admin fees. I paid up, and the Carts themselves have problem. Apparently their last batch has mold related issue where you put the cart in the AES it won't work. You either file the plastic..like trim it or wait for these clowns to answer. So far they haven't really given a shit as for 4 months they are waiting for their contacts to reply to them.

One of the worst company to deal with... if you have a problem/issue.


For 60 US you can get a clone GDEmu on ebay and it works perfectly. I have a clone and official GDEMU. That product has been out since 2014 I believe.


I think the price is 217 US for 1 which is way too much.

Why the fuck on earth would you want both in 1?

How about making 2 separate ones with half the cost?

Fuck Terraonion and how they fucked all European buyers by not disclosing their move to Andorra.

Also the Mega SD was not perfect, for the price they asked, it was not even beveled. And a few games has audio issues.

Very nice but I don't want to sacrifice my cd rom unit in my Saturn.

This summer a more elegant solution should become available (at least for Saturn), it's a card that slots into the extension bay. No disassembly, soldering or modifications required.

How does it install? Is it like Phoebe/Rhea/GDEmu? If so, then why?

Absolutely, Satiator is a much more elegant solution.
