Absolutely, it's how I play Policenauts on my Saturn.

Yeah, it works, it's what I use as well. The only downside is that it uses a form of flash memory that can only be used to store saves. The Saturn can't exactly detect game saves from the card. So you have to transfer game saves from the card to the Saturn whenever you want to use the game save. But it works great for saving saves since my Saturn's battery is constantly dying on me. LOL

Everything else is great though, especially the 1M and 4M compatibility. I couldn't play X-Men Vs. Street fighter on Saturn before I got this. :D

Because if I want to play for example Chrono Cross on my PSX I have to use a RGB cable or else the game will be in black and white

I believe that completely depends on your TV, if it supports NTSC or if it doesn't.

well then I think I'm screwed I can only play NTSC games with an RGB cable on my PSX and PS2 and I think that my Saturn cable isn't even a scart cable
I can allways try my luck with the girigiri emulator

Indeed, because the saturn emus are still quite slow... (well, you need a big machine to run them), and they are not precise enough yet, at least as far as I know (I might be wrong).

Yeah, they aren't stable enough yet. And require min. a 256mb and at least a 64mb video card (you'll get lag though). But the ironic swing is if you have anything max over it like I do with 1 gig of memory and a high end programming video card it blacks out and goes back to bios. I've been working on plugins with the Cassini team (which is pretty much a hacked and user friendly girigiri.), Policenauts is fully supported. But, Policenauts will only run as stable as your system can be. (the emulator seems to run better with Nvidia cards using custom "omega" drivers, than with normal, or use with Ati Cards.)
