Dezaemon 2

Dezaemon 2 is a shoot 'em'up construction kit that was released for the Sega Saturn by Athena in 1997.

As of the time of writing there are over 200 "usergames" for Dezaemon 2 that have been created by the community.

Loading these up on real hardware has never been easy. You needed a either mod-chipped Saturn able to read CD-R discs or a Saturn with an ODE. Due to the size contraints of the Saturn external memory card you could only have a maximum of 5 usergames per cartridge.

This made easy access to all the "usergames" difficult. With the MiSTer device, this size constraint is gone. Using a MiSTer FPGA and following the tutorial shown, you can now play these in the comfort of your own home using the Sega Saturn core.
