Description
This is an OEM product of the SEGA SATURN released by Sega Enterprises. It was marketed as a multimedia player with built-in Video CD and Photo CD playback capabilities, which were optional on the SEGA SATURN. The black console with a gold logo has a more luxurious design than the SEGA SATURN.
Compared to its rivals released around the same time (PlayStation, PC-FX), it boasts the highest 2D graphics performance. Its 3D graphics performance is inferior to the PlayStation. Its video playback capabilities were the weakest due to the use of a software decoder.
It is equipped with a cartridge slot to support ROM cartridge software. However, no software was released on ROM cartridges, and the slot was used for expansion devices.

■ Overview

The name HI-SATURN comes from the HI in Hitachi, the manufacturer.
As Hitachi and JVC were involved in the development of the Sega Saturn, each company released compatible consoles, the HI-SATURN and V-SATURN respectively.

■ HI-SATURN Episodes

There are other subtle differences, such as all manufacturer logos being changed to HITACHI and the console startup logo displaying HI-SATURN. The HI-SATURN was a high-priced hardware due to its superior performance compared to the Sega Saturn and its ability to read less common media like Video CD and Photo CD, which led to it being sold and traded at a premium.
