Im not huge into computers but im a big sega freak and I had this idea about how cool it would be to make my own game and play it on my saturn. Then reality hits and i remember that i know nothing about this. Is it even possible to make a "good" saturn game on a home computer? This idea has been floating around in my head for about 2 weeks now and i really want to do it so Im willing to sit down and write hours of mind numbing code. I would think with saturn technology being over ten years old that with computers today it should be a hard but possible experience. Any help/suggestions/commments positive or negitive would be great.

It is possible, but Saturn was really designed for people familiar with console/arcade programming. I don't recommend starting with C/SGL if you don't have any prior programming experience. However, you might want to look into Game Basic - some resources/tools are available under the Saturn Dev page.
Making your own Saturn-Game is really exciting!
I agree with ExCyber, head over to the three GameBasic pages in the Saturndev section. GameBasic seems to be the easiest way for newcomers to get started.
