Introducing The Phøde – A Universal ODE For SEGA Saturn, and Much More!

Felix, the creator behind the 3DO and upcoming PCFX ODE, just announced a brand new ODE they are working on, the Phøde!

This ODE is not just a typical ODE that supports one or a couple of consoles. No, this supports over 8+ consoles (And counting!):

  • Supports Sega Dreamcast VA0, VA1 and VA2 
  • Supports Sega Saturn (20 and 21 pin variants)
  • Supports Playstation PU7, PU8(2 variants) and PU18 (with more variants later)
  • Supports Sega CD 1, CD2, XEye, CDX console variants
  • Supports mystery mechanism (will be revealed in June)
  • Supports mystery feline (will be revealed in June)
  • Supports mystery friend (will be revealed in June) 

They also hint at three additional consoles that will be supported on top of the already huge list of supported consoles. Speculation says one of them could be the Jagular CD based on the “Feline” hint.

Pricing for the device is listed at $249.99, which is cheaper than a Satiator, but still more expensive than both the MODE, and Fenrir.

Pre-orders for the Phøde are currently open, and will start to shop out late October after a production run in September. If you are interested in picking one up, you can do so here.

Let us know if you’re interested in picking this up, and what system you’d like to get it for!
