      @alphabetapie it's very likely that my post is outdated at this point. You'll to use a newer version of the install script.

      Thanks for the reply. I did try to find that in the previous posts, but I'm not seeing an updated installer. Did I miss something?

        @alphabetapie This is the only place you should get it from: https://github.com/joolswills/RetroPie-Setup/tree/lr-yabasanshiro

          @darksavior - UPDATE - Thanks for the info. After some poking around, I was able to fish out the files I needed from that link and add those over to my experimental packages and install it. Can't wait to try this out!

            After some testing, I just want to say that I LOVE THIS FREAKIN' EMULATOR! By far the most progress I've seen to-date on getting Saturn to run on a pie. I can't wait to see where this goes in the future.

            Just one small complaint/request. Is there ever going to be a disc control option implemented? Without that, I don't know how to load my double-disc Saturn games with this already great emulator. Or is there another way I'm unaware of?

              @alphabetapie Like I said - try the standalone version of yabasanshiro.

                That core is crap and pretty much unmaintained now, don't use it.
                There are instructions on setting up standalone above, starting from around https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/251721

                  Sure, I'm game. I just tried that, simply because it was easy to install and I don't have as much experience setting up a stand-alone from scratch. But I'll try and see if I can figure it out.

                    As I feared, I'm getting stuck on installing the standalone. I started out pretty good, but running any of the lines found in the links always generate some type of error. So, I deleted the folder and started over. So here is where I am as of now, but still unable to move forward. What should be the correct command to run next? This is the first time I've ever tried doing a manual install using this method (usually just use the Retropie setup menu), so any assist is appreciated.

                      @alphabetapie you are inserting $ everywhere, that's why lots of commands are failing, it's pretty explicit actually : $: command not found

                        Am I inserting it? I'm copying and pasting the exact code from this link here. The $ is present in the original. I'm supposed to edit those out? I didn't see anything about that in the instructions above. But I can try that if needed. Again, first time manually installing over here.

                          The $ signifies a command prompt, so you know the commands are from the command line. You don't have to copy it.

                            Still getting errors, but I'll keep working on this and hash it out over the next few days. Thanks for the info all!

                              Question for you @darksavior. I need to stick to the Retroarch cores, due to the fact that I need access to several important customization options to make my theme work. Do you happen to know if there is a core version (or maybe another fork) that includes disc control in Retroarch?

                                  Yeah, thanks. @mitu also mentioned that above. Meant to thank him for the info as well, but forgot.

                                    Since lr-yabasanshiro is basically abandoned, can it be officially added to retropie and give people the option to use it over lr-yabause? Some games don't have bugs and are faster. The slowdowns doesn't affect the audio.

                                      I 100% endorse this. I was able to get the most recent version (December 2020 as far as I know), because I fished the appropriate files out of a zip file. But without that link (and the ability to know what I was looking), I would have never been able to make my Saturn collection semi-playable now. Having it in the menu would be great for less-informed users.

                                      Also, can @darksavior (or anyone) confirm or deny if any version of the lr core of yabasanshiro has or had a disc control option? I think the standalone might, but I can't use that for my setup. I need Retroarch for theme reasons.

                                          @alphabetapie The developer (barbudreadmon) never implemented disc control in lr-yabause or lr-yabasanshiro. But apparently it's not needed, as you can just quit the game and then start it directly from the next disc while loading up the existing save.

                                            Overlays and custom resolutions, among other things.
