Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB and the Sega Saturn
-
@quicksilver I've installed it thanks to your guide. Can't get games to start though.
Does anyone know the accepted format for the emu? Tried a few but no joy.
Also added some bios but that doesn't seem to work...
-
@Jste84 I've been using .bin and .cue, that has been fine. Maybe keep trying with the bios, possibly you've had duff ones.
-
@quicksilver Any idea on the missing Sound Effects on PowerSlave? Are there any settings that might make this work? I guess I could have a dodgy ROM, I am only assuming the fault is with the emulator here.
-
@AdamBeGood the emulator is far from perfect. In fact I have encountered issues with most games I tested. You can try enabling/disabling the HLE bios option in the retroarch quick menu. Sometimes it has a positive effect for some games.
-
@quicksilver Okay, cool. I'll try that out then. It is such a fast emulator though, games are so smooth (when they work).
-
@AdamBeGood was making a daft mistake in not renaming the bios. 😣
-
@Jste84 Easily done!
-
@quicksilver HLE Bios On makes Alien Trilogy much better, no glitching as yet. Still no sound effects on Powerslave though, but that is the only major issue I've got currently.
-
@AdamBeGood I tested with Castlevania SOTN and it's working, nice job!

Any benefit to playing it on Saturn vs the psx version?
-
@loula Really not my work, no need to thank me. @quicksilver is the guy here!
-
@quicksilver No, not really... I just have a PS Classic and feel that I should play the PSX stuff on that, so having it on Saturn means that I can play it on my Pi and don't have to plug the PSC in. Ridiculous I know.
It works fine now, some minor sound issues but it is good enough to play on. PowerSlave having no sound is the only issue I am really bothered with, I can cope with some major glitches, etc.
Edit: You are right, and I hear the PS1 version is better also. I am playing that now!
-
@quicksilver its giving me an error when trying to install them? it said they failed to apply?
-
I just installed without a problem. It's far more usable than any other Saturn emulator right now, even with some bugs and such. It looks like Jools' patch won't be needed soon as it was just accepted upstream a month ago.
-
Do Multi-Disk games work on Yabansiro / Yabause? I can't see a Disk Control option in the Quick Menu, and I was looking at the Yabause documents and can't see that .m3u is supported.
I know Beetle-Saturn can use .m3u but that emulator runs too poorly on my Pi for that to be of any help.
Thanks! I want to play Panzer Dragoon Saga.
Edit: I am told on Reddit that the game should save at the end of the disk, so the save file should then work on subsequent disks. Maybe renaming will be required but it should work.

is there a way to run STV system games on this?
I assume there's a way due to since the help menu of the install script says "ROM Extensions: .iso .cue .zip .ccd .mds\n\nCopy your Sega Saturn & ST-V roms to $romdir/saturn\n\nCopy the required BIOS file saturn_bios.bin / stvbios.zip to $biosdir/yabasanshiro"

A copy/paste mistake, I believe. Yabasanshiro does not support ST-V.

Install again and its working thanks ! <3
