        A bit difficult since they state that it is Windows only:

        Operating system Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP 64-bit Edition

          I dont think that a Sega Saturn emulator be it a port of Yabause or SSF would be capable of running stable on RPi at present. SSF on windows is very demanding and it even has problems running smoothly on my 8gb i5 PC.

          On the other hand, I think perfect emulation of the machine isn't too far away as it's copy protection got decrypted a few months back. So a few further revisions of current emus on Windows should lead to a better optimised port for Arm based machines like the RPi in future.

              it's not beyond a possibility. uoyabause runs well on arm phones of similar specs. the problem is that the pi only has GLES 2. 3 is required for it.
