Its definitely a trade off. I don't like all in one solutions, if it wasn't for one Sega Saturn game, thats a must have, I would not be considering this option. I already have to many buttons, so cutting back where I can.

You could always skip the front buttons and run a saturn USB controller thru a port in the front?

If you have a fast computer its not bad at all, results vary depending what video drivers you use. Open GL ran fast with some small issues  on in yabbas in XP, in VM ware fusion, on my 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo mac. Theres a original hard ware video emulated but it ran a little to slow, but it was running under several lares of emulations. I am told SFF is an even better emulator. Computers are getting faster and faster so the slow ness will be fixed in time.   

I'm confident It will be fine once I find an PC to use in my price range. Keep in mind I live in East Africa.

I'v considered that, even bought two USD Saturn controllers. By then I might as well play it on the the original hard ware. This build is all about the beat'em ups. I want the greatest example of all time (Guardian Heroes) to fit in seamlessly.

I cut the Player 2 coin/Left and start/Right button today.

In the pic below, you can see a peace of scrap ply that was drilled through to make a templet. This templet was later used to mark the coin/Left and start/Right button for all four players. I should have time tomorrow to cut the remaining 6 button holes for the other 3 players.

Any spare button can be programmed as the I-PAC shift button so this is possible.
