Sega Saturn Chd Roms Hot [exclusive] Review
The Saturn’s complexity means that not all CHDs are equal. Bad dumps—missing audio tracks or incorrect ECC data—cause crashes or graphical glitches.

The popularity of “hot” CHD packs often stems from the difficulty of ripping one’s own Saturn discs: many original discs suffer from disc rot, and compatible CD drives are increasingly rare. Thus, convenience drives the illicit market, not malice.
