112w ago - Sega Digital Campaigns Manager Mike Kebby has announced today that Mega Drive Classics are coming to Sony's PlayStation Network.

To quote: So I'm not going to pretend that this is news to you as it's already been announced that we have six Mega Drive titles - Classics, if you will - coming to PS Plus users for free.

Did you know however, that non-subscribers will also be able to get hold of them too?

Starting with the well loved Sonic the Hedgehog, which is coming to you via PlayStation Store this Wednesday 30th March, to then be followed over the next few months by five more titles. Those other five titles you may well ask? Well, they would be Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe 2, Altered Beast and Comix Zone.

At the moment we've got a release schedule in place, and unless some unruly badniks get into the system and damage our code, you can expect the titles to release as follows:

• Sonic 2 - free for PS Plus users on April 6th, released onto PS Store on April 20th
• Streets of Rage 2 - free for Plus users on May 4th, released onto PS Store on May 18th
• Golden Axe 2 - free for Plus users on June 1st, released onto PS Store on June 15th

As yet we can't confirm the release dates for Altered Beast and Comix...

126w ago - PlayStation Store Senior Manager Grace Chen has announced today that starting tomorrow SNK titles will be on sale for PlayStation Plus alongside a SEGA holiday sale, as follows:

As the holidays inch closer, the PlayStation Store decided to partner with two publishers who shaped many gamers' youths -SNK and SEGA.

Both have released some of most noteworthy titles of the 1990s, including Sonic the Hedgehog and King of Fighters. SEGA has done a great job of bringing some of their most popular titles along with revitalizing one of our favorite blue hedgehogs and now SNK is following in their footsteps.

As an early holiday gift, both of these publishers will be offering sales on a handful of great PSN titles. SNK will be offering PlayStation Plus subscribers a 20% discount on all SNK games when they release in tomorrow's PlayStation Store update.

Also, SEGA will be holding a sale that includes some of their newer releases, such as Valkyria Chronicles 2, Phantasy Star Portable 2, and the re-release of Sonic Adventure. All these items can be found in the "Featured Publishers" category on the games section of the PlayStation Store. See the full list below:

138w ago - Today French site PS3Gen.fr (linked above) has released a Sega Saturn Emulator Yabause port on the PS3 GameOS for use with PlayStation 3 JailBreak devices and PSGroove.

Download: Sega Saturn Emulator Yabause v0.1

I've tested it and it's very laggy, won't boot at all.. the BIOS starts and then returns to the PS3 XMB as the BIOS.BIN is required on the ROOT of a USB flash drive, otherwise it will crash back to XMB.

To run Saturn games rename them to GAME.ISO and place them in the root of the USB stick, but be aware this is an early release so expect bugs including crashing and freezing.

As mentioned above, in order to use it you will need to Google for a copy of the Saturn BIOS to run this emulator as it is not included.
