    If they’re trying to make a consumer device with a sales price under $100 (the article says the Mega Drive Mini 2 is $75) that is very hard to do with a modern desktop processor and GPU. It’s also much more horsepower than they need for Saturn or Dreamcast games.

      which is weird because a raspberry pi 4 can emulate a dreamcast at full speed nicely.
