How do you play Sega Saturn games?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 14 13:18:32 2020 No.6340161 >>6340156 On a shitty laptop. I really do want to go with something that emulates the hardware better, especially since, like N64, the emulation is hit and miss and the controller is unique.

Make sure the BIOS file in the System directory is called 'mpr-17933.bin' for Beetle Saturn. The other cores expect it to be called 'saturn_bios.bin' which is more normal.

All the Saturn games I've downloaded been in the Bin/Cue format I don't have an .ISO version to try.

So I downloaded that from CoolRom and yeah, Beetle Saturn doesn't seem to play nice with that format. No idea how you convert that to bin/cue format.

YabaSanshiro can play the .Cue but the audio is absolutely fucked. It doesn't seem to like the .iso.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 14 14:12:51 2020 No.6340282 >>6340270 Of course it's fucked. It's an iso and it uses mp3.

I have a Japanese saturn with Pseudo Saturn on an action replay cart, and so i mostly just used burned Cd-rs but I have a few original japenese copies of games, mostly cheap shit like sega rally, virtual on.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 14 14:17:21 2020 No.6340291 >>6340286 Also it natively maps the buttons to the standard six-button interface of the Saturn (without any of the input quirkiness of the PS2 Gorgeous anthology).

Beetle Saturn core under RetroArch, with the CRT lottes multipass glow shader. Trusty Xbox One S bluetooth controller. Games run good, look good, and control good.
Having six face buttons is a meme. Mapping buttons 3 and 6 to R1 and R2 is more intuitive and makes performing moves that require those two buttons in combination with other buttons easier. Plus you get an analog stick for things like Nights and Daytona USA.

Yeah, screenshots taken with a shader (mask?) enabled may appear to have vertical lines or other artifacts depending on how the web page scales them. If you open my screenshot in a new tab, and zoom in and out incrementally, you'll see what I mean.
It looks great in motion.

Finally got a working World Heroes Perfect disc image (though, actually, it was just a single .BIN instead of several). At first it wouldn't load but that was because the .CUE file had an absolute file path mapping to the .BIN so I just made it relative and then it worked fine.

feels great to not mount cds anymore for ssf

saturn is probably the only console i have to manually fix rips. there was no standard back then.

Listen to this guy and anyone else who plays it on the original console. Fuck playing Saturn on a PC, but I used to do that until I found a Saturn for cheap. That original controller gotta be in your hands. Check out the catalog, including imports and you good.

On my Model 1 Saturn I imported from Japan, I bought a Pseudo Saturn cart for it and so far I only have one successfully burned disc.
I'm not sure whats wrong, it could be the discs I'm using, the software or the laser itself.

Mednafen and cue+bin from archivedotorg ( I use redump) ! You can use retroarch too... The bios are easily found with google, or just download a bios pack from archive too... You can even use reshade with mednafen if you like your Crt pixels. Retroarch has also yabasanshiro and Kronos and yabause ... Plenty of options
