How to run Saturn games on yabause? - Retro-Arena/RetroPie-Setup GitHub Wiki

Using yabause on ORA Image

The ORA v1.5 image has yabause as the default emulator for Sega Saturn system. Here's how you can get it running.

BIOS

We suggest using a Region Free BIOS as there is no BIOS selector within the emulator.

Place your BIOS file in:

/home/pigaming/RetroPie/BIOS/

  • saturn_bios.bin
File Region md5sum CRC32 Comment
saturn_bios.bin Free bde8d6225194b1be7d7127f9f5a7bb29
saturn_bios.bin Japan 3240872c70984b6cbfda1586cab68dbe

Roms

Place your .cue, .img, .ccd, .sub files in:

/home/pigaming/RetroPie/roms/saturn

Controller Configuration

It is assumed you already configured your controller(s) in EmulationStation. Once you have loaded your game, you can press Select on your controller to bring the menu that will allow you to configure your controllers on screen.

Note: The public release of ORA v1.5.0 image has a bug with controllers being swapped in the emulator. To fix this issue, go update the emulator in RetroPie Setup -> Manage Packages -> exp -> yabause -> Update from Binary. The ORA v1.5.1+ image has this issue corrected.
