Yaba Sanshiro 2 (formerly uoYabause) ( compatibility) A Multi-platform fork by DevMiyax using OpenGL ES 3.X (Android), and Open GL 3.X (Windows). Development seems to have stopped, active forks are Libretro core, Kronos and Yaba Sanshiro 2. It's far less developed than SSF and Mednafen and still has many compatibility issues. Yabause ( compatibility) Used to be the first and only option for multi-platform Saturn emulation. Pretty good performance with low-end computers. However, it is closed-source and only for Windows and Android. SSF ( USA compatibility, JPN compatibility, PAL compatibility) Used to be the emulator of choice for compatible Saturn emulation.

By default, only x86-64 builds have Saturn support, but unofficial x86-32 builds and libretro frontends like RetroArch can surpass this limitation. Its goal for accuracy means it only supports the BIOS of one console revision per region, and is also more demanding than any other Saturn emulator (other than MAME). It's currently the most accurate but runs from the command-line (obviously it'll have video output though) unless using an external frontend like Mednaffe or a libretro frontend like RetroArch.

↑ One of the best emulator for ST-V emulation but still 'Imperfect'.Ĭomparisons Mednafen ( compatibility, JAP compatibility, PAL compatibility, USA compatibility, st-v compatibility) An open-source, multi-system emulator with an original Saturn core.

↑ 6.0 6.1 Libretro core is still active.

This emulator remains somewhat recommended especially for older hardware, though it may be avoided for these reasons.

↑ 5.0 5.1 Due to recent virus detections in the latest versions, it is risky for some computers to use.

Use standalone version OR 'yabause_libretro' or 'mednafen_saturn_libretro' cores for RetroArch Saturn emulation.

↑ 4.0 4.1 Yaba Sanshiro libretro core (yabasanshiro_libretro) is outdated, known for having many issues, and unmaintained.

↑ Reserved section for titles need future modem support.

↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 Exclusive to libretro core.

Refer to the ST-V section of the official documentation for more details and a list of explicitly supported games.

↑ Version 1.31.0 added experimental support for ST-V games that don't require decryption chips or special hardware.
