Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB and the Sega Saturn
-
@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

Can anyone verify the updates from sept 8 has made
lr-yabasanshiroslower? Not sure if it's my setup. SFZ3 used to be roughly fullspeed, but now it struggles at around 49-55 fps. Performance almost matcheslr-yabause's. -

Performance almost matcheslr-yabause's.I don't have SFZ3, and it's been a while since I ran a Saturn game so I can't say I see a difference in performance but when running SFA2, I did notice some weird occasional problems drawing to the screen and slowdowns here and there.

I installed this on an image a few weeks ago just fine, now when im trying to install on another fresh build im getting an error saying the shader hack failed to install. Any ideas? something change?
-
@mxstar1 Same here, worked on a previous system from awhile ago. I have tried the link provided by Quicksilver, and pulling the files directly from Github. The patch always fails to apply. I'm still messing around with this on my end, If I find anything I'll let you know.
EDIT Just found this on another thread. Could be the emulator got an update, so the patch won't apply to it anymore. This was 16 days ago.
"Without the patch that was discussed in this topic, lr-yabasanshiro will not work on the Pi4. I'm not sure if it applies cleanly (or at all) to the latest lr-yabasanshiro though." -
Looks like there was an update from less than a day ago. The patch was working a few days ago.
-
@Libation yeah, i was able to install without the patch by editing the lr-yabasanshiro.sh file, but it runs awful i only tried a few games, but the graphics were all messed up.
-
@mxstar1 Are you getting badly garbled graphics? Sometimes the image is impossible to even make out?
I'm having the same issue, yet it seems the patch installed successfully. Not sure how long ago I installed yabasanshiro, maybe two weeks ago.
-
@Zering I'm getting black screens, and/or just single colors showing through. The emulator is/was already very garbled with graphics for a lot of games, but some games look perfect on it. Maybe someone with knowledge will chime in soon. If u want to install it now, you can just forget the folder, add only the .sh file and edit it. Just delete the part near the top that has the hack file mentioned, and it will build without it.
-
@mxstar1 that's what the patch fixed. If you disable it, the emulator isn't going to work.
-
@BuZz Yeah thats what i figured, but i dont know how to edit the patch to work with the newly released emulator, hopefully whoever made the patch can re-release it for this updated emulator. I think it was written by joolswills.
@quicksilver maybe you might know?
