      I've updated the Retropie script this evening (update seems to have worked fine, because SteamLink shows up), but I still can't find lr-beetle-saturn in the Optional or Experimental sections. I quite fancy giving it a try because the PC version of Medfanen is very impressive. Am I missing something obvious?

        @SpudsMcToole If it doesn't show up, then it's not available for the platform where RetroPie is installed. According to the module parameters, it can be only be installed on x64 Linux.

          @SpudsMcToole lr-beetle-saturn expects a x86_64 computer with very high single thread performance (i have slowdowns in several games with an i7@3.4Ghz). If your platform is x86_32 and/or don't have a 3Ghz+ cpu, you might give a try to lr-kronos, i did an announcement about it some time ago : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19930/new-sega-saturn-libretro-core-kronos

            @barbudreadmon I'm a bit confused. Isn't this a Retropie forum? A non-Raspberry Pi emulator (which that appears to be) doesn't seem to be much use - I've already got excellent Saturn emulation on my PC.

                @dankcushions Fair enough.
