Sega Saturn emulation?

[stevaside]

Anybody successful with this?

I wanted to try a few games in their library out, D/Led them from archive.org , added them to LB, set Retroarch as emu & installed the Saturn Beetle core.

When setting the defualt emu in LB, Saturn Beetle didn't show up in the drop down list, but Medafen Saturn did, which I rememeber reading that one was based on, so I chose that. Clicking on the games did nothing.  No error message. Nothing happened at all

I then went & started Retroarch by itself with the Saturn Beetle core & games still wouldn't load. Got a quick error message about not being able to find something

Of course.

You need to have the correct bios in your Retroarch\system folder and you need to load the cue file of the game.

Ahh I only had the Japanese bios file & didn't realize it.

Well not that it really matters it looks like, cuz apparently my laptop is too much of a P.O.S. to run 25-27 year old games from this console. Every game has choppy audio/video to varying degrees. Don't know if there's any settings I can tweak, but wouldn't get my hopes up.  It seems to run the few PS1 games I've tried so far, but can't run PS2, Naomi..I wouldn't be suprised

Yeah Saturn emulation takes a decent powered CPU, you could try the Yabause core which requires less CPU power but the emulation quality is not as good.
