         I can kind of see testing out roms and ISOs for games on   
   emulators, but there is just no way I am putting CDRs in one of my game   
   consoles again.  I am convinced that the DUO and DUO/R struggle with   
   playing CDRs, to the point of burning themselves out, and I have seen   
   the same thing with Dreamcasts.  My Saturn has seen countless hours of   
   gameplay and I would hate to have to replace it.  Hopefully after my   
   next computer upgrade I'll be able to run Satourne or something   
   comparable at a decent framerate, then I will commence with the testing   
   of Saturn ISOs.
