Last Friday, we lost former Sega president and engineer Hideki Sato. To say he was a legendary figure is an understatement. He designed Sega's iconic home consoles, including the Sega Saturn.

RIP

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 :)
