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

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

I'm supposed to edit those out?
Yes, that's the command prompt, you don't need to copy it.

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 Why do you 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.

Thanks for the heads up. I think Saturn is one of the only systems I know you can load the second disc on the fly. The rest seem more anal about that (and having you start with disc 1).

Hello folks! According to the discord Yaba now officially supports Vulkan on Win/Android. Presumably it won't be in the Retroarena version yet?

Hi,
I've installed the standalone version of yaba sanshiro with the instructions given here.
(on my Pi4b - 8gb)Only thing not working is the controls.
I've set the controls for player 1 numerous times, but nothing seems to work.
I'm using an adafruit cupcade.I've tried analogue and keyboard, also tried with keyboard disabled.
Maybe it's not saving the input values or something ?Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance. -

The emulator works, but doesn't seem to support rar files
i've never heard of an emulator that supports rar files ?
-
@barbudreadmon I guess I thought, some emulators support .zip files,
so supporting .rar files isn't a big leap. -

it is though, rar is a proprietary format, unlike zip/7z which are "generic"
-
I also tried to manually edit the "keymapv2.json" file, but the joystick and buttons still aren't working

A few days ago I tried the yabasanshiro emulator in batocera with the 64-bit version, and the result was spectacular, however, I wonder if it could have a similar performance within this emulator in retropie, using the standalone or the retroarch version, since it seems that in batocera I used the retroarch cut and maybe the standalone is better. I wish you could put under experimental cores, as it is by far the best sega saturn emulator I have tried on raspberry.

I use yabasanshiro in retropie and it works very very well. Daytona runs fullspeed with x2 resolution. Sega rally runs fullspeed as well. Actually every game I've tried runs in full speed.

I am playing SF Alpha 2 gold by using an overclocked pi 4 at 2050 and it works quite nicely despite some sporadic slowdowns without frameskip at 32 threads, I am loving it and I am thinking on deleting the vanilla PS1 version I have do you know about any other good Saturn 2D games I could play in my pi?

You seem to be using original yabause, are you sure 16 threads isn't a bit better ? I think the core has a tendency to counter-perform when you set its thread value too high. Otherwise, yes, the original yabause core might be sometimes a solid choice for non-hires non-3d saturn games on low-end devices.
