Back to topic.

Either SSF or Cassini (hacked version of Giri Giri Saturn) can play Saturn games.

What kind of CPU power is needed to play Sega Saturn games at full speed?

[hagbard]

It also depends o your ffx card, but as usual CPU power it's the most improtant aspect concerning emulation performance. The answer is on the official docs, in japanese but clear enough:
