Thankfully, no patch is needed :
1. Set game to Arcade / TATE mode.
2. Return to the title screen.
3. When it says "PRESS 1P OR 2P START BUTTON", press left on the d-pad and then press Start.
4. Set ROTATE to OFF.
Once done, this setting will be saved to the Saturn's internal memory.

Released patches for Virtua Cop 1 & 2 on Saturn that, among other things, disable the white flash triggered by light guns for the benefit of setups that don't require it for hit detection (e.g. MiSTer FPGA + GUN4IR/Sinden). Such patches already exist for Model 2, I'm happy to bring them to Saturn :)

Sonic R: The R&R mod
The ROM hack that takes the racing out of Sonic R (1997)
Everyone knows that *Sonic R* is a racing game. But... maybe it doesn't have to be?
My new *R&R mod*:
* Adjusts controls to make exploration easier.
* Gives you unlimited time to look for Emeralds and tokens.
* Lets you unlock extra characters without racing.

Vigilant Paradise Launch Trailer - Sega Saturn
Unbeknownst to pretty much everyone, the first-person shooter "Vigilant Paradise" was released for Saturn in November 2025; AFAIK the developer never teased this on SegaXtreme or anywhere else so it's really quite astonishing! It's currently on sale for $7 on itch.io

Finally got an S Rank as Nicholai in Resident Evil 3 The Mercenaries, this seemed impossibly hard at first so it was super satisfying to pull this off! Huge thanks to @classicrebirth.com for making RE great again, now I should get that S in the game proper ^^
