Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB and the Sega Saturn

AdamBeGood

@zering Using Open/Close CD Tray? I don't get any links there, there is nothing to choose apart from Cancel. So your Emulators file look the same as mine..? This is irritating, I'm so close!

yabasanshiro = "/opt/retropie/emulators/yabause/yabasanshiro %ROM%"

@shavecat

You are still logged in as pi not root. If it says pi@retropie on the left of your screen, it isn't right.

Yabanshiro is launching but not with a game launching at the same time. Is there something further I need to add to the above?

https://github.com/devmiyax/yabause/tree/pi4/yabause/src/retro_arena#setup mentions -i argument ?

Good shout!

I have that in es_systems.cfg but not here.

Amended to the below but result seems the same.

yabasanshiro = "/opt/retropie/emulators/yabause/yabasanshiro -i %ROM_RAW%"

Is that what everyone's else's Saturn emulators.cfg looks like? @Zering ?

My es_systems.cfg is this:

<system>
  <name>saturn</name>
  <fullname>Sega Saturn</fullname>
  <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/saturn</path>
  <extension>.cue .CUE .chd .CHD </extension>
  <command>/opt/retropie/emulators/yabause/yabasanshiro -i "%ROM_RAW%"</command>
  <platform>saturn</platform>
  <theme>saturn</theme>
</system>

Zering

@adambegood Yes, that's right.

@adambegood Yes, that's right.

shavecat

@zering
Hey follow u
and it did work !Thanks
but i only getting a black screen with the mouse on the side and the menu emulator when i click the mouse or so...
but the game not launch
es_system maybe not right ?

Zering

@shavecat Try loading a game manually by opening and closing the CD tray.

shavecat

@zering
i have it like @AdamBeGood

so i cant ...
did u sort it out ? @AdamBeGood

Zering

@shavecat Sorry but I can't help mire than this, the only thing I can think might differ from your setup to mine is that I use chds exclusively.

shavecat

@zering
OKAY ITS WORKING !!!
thanks a lot !!
but its really slow like ASTAL...
and sometimes i just getting a black screen with the mouse on the side:\

Zering

@shavecat Set your resolution to original instead of native, it helps tremendously.

shavecat

@zering
Thanks!
can i change it and save it ?
cause its always come back ...

Zering

@shavecat I think it saves the settings for each individual game.

shavecat

@zering
clockwork knight always with black screen and thats it
the clockwork knight 2 works fine.
clockwork knight is working right ? :)
Some games just giving my black screen yes :\

How did you resolve it? I just get no options.

@Zering Mine are all bin/cues, I did wonder about CHDs. Maybe I will try that.

shavecat

@adambegood

yabasanshiro = "/opt/retropie/emulators/yabause/yabasanshiro -i %ROM%"

Amazing stuff, that works great for me now! Thanks very much, @barbudreadmon , @Zering and @shavecat

On ClockWork Knight 1, Shavecat, I don't have that game but have you tried the standard emulators lr-beetle-saturn and lr-yabause just in case those work?

I don't have much else to offer on that though.

Performance seems certainly better than the libretro core, although my Sega Rally is still too choppy to play.

bin/cues work fine.

Zering

@adambegood Performance is much better overall, sadly I'm still experiencing crippling graphical issues on many games.
Still I managed to beat Panzer Dragoon for the first time this week ; I've been playing this game since I was 9. Great stuff. And it looks like the other two will run fine.
Most of the 2d stuff seems to run pretty good too. Radiant Silvergun runs well but has some bad graphical glitches.
