Everybody is familiar with Sega Saturn, the console that was launched in Japan in 1994, released in North America in May 1995, and arrived in Europe in the summer of 1995. The game console became iconic and still boasts a large number of fans even though Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation took a significant chunk of its market share.

It was considered to be one of the (if not the) most complicated game console that came with eight processors, but the real big deal was its sound generator using 32-bit sound, and its DRM solution that was believed to be uncrackable.

The half-an-hour-long video uploaded to YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOyfZex7B3E) tells you that the Sega Saturn fanatic nicknamed Dr. Abrasive, who wrote programmes for the console because of its 32-bit sound generator, managed to crack the copy protection and run programmes via USB twenty years after the console was released. In the 30-minute YouTube video, he talks about what happened in 2013, explains the difficulties he experienced and the solutions he came up with. For the time being, the solution is not available to the public, but it may soon be as promised. And that's a new life for the Saturn.
