A small company named GDEMU has made similar devices for the Saturn and Dreamcast since 2015. Replacing optical discs with more modern storage media isn’t a new idea. The Terraonion MODE - Multi-Optical Disc Emulator - simply drops into your console of choice, reads ROMs from a storage medium, and passes the data onto the console for processing. Hardcore gamers who miss titles like Panzer Dragoon Saga and Power Stone may want to perform life-saving surgery on their Sega Saturn or Dreamcast consoles this summer, as a new solution will be able to replace dead disc drives, with no soldering skills needed. As their optical drives burn out, they’re rendered unplayable, which is a shame - these systems were the peak of gaming in the eyes of many. Classic disc-based consoles are getting long in the tooth.
