Yabause Emulator(Yabause) for Windows: Finding console emulators is rather easy nowadays, with a Sega Saturn emulator being no exception. It however takes some basic knowledge to get the best performance out of an emulator as Yabause.
How to use RUNNING. Install the latest version of uoYabause from. Dump CD-ROM image from your own SEGA Saturn game CD-ROM. Cue sheet is the best if you want to listen to CD Audio.
I always use. If you know of any other good dumper, please let me know. Place this CD-ROM image file to your Android device storage: ‘yabause/games’ which is the default directory uoYabause will find the games(recommended). You can also place the game images on an external SD card or for the Shield TV, on an external Hard Drive.
Run uoYabause on your Android device. If it’s the first time, checking the settings for your device is recommended.
Recommended settings are below. See Settings section for details. Cartridge: ’32Mbit Backup RAM’ it’s enough to save tons of game status. Rendering engine: ‘OpenGL ES Video Interface’ Fast and full-hd rendering. Frame skip: ‘Off’ for accurate rendering, but will be slow except for high performance devices like SHIELD TV etc.
Input device: ‘Game pad’ on screen pad is not enough for action games. Sound: ‘On’.
Push ‘Load Games’ button and select the file name you located at 3. Have a fun!!!!

Backup RAM is external back up ram to save game data. RAM is external ram for same games which use huge ram like King of Fighters.

‘Software Video Interface’ is more collect graphics but slow. SHOW FPS Show or Hide ‘Frame per second’ which means speed of emulation on your device. ‘60/60’ is the best performance and equal to the real SEGA Saturn speed. FRAME SKIP When FPS is less than 60, uoYabause skip a frame to reach 60 fps. If this option is enabled, uoYabause may lost frames, Furthermore may be broken internal SEGA Saturn emulation. ‘Off’ is recommended for accurate emulation. KEEP ORIGINAL ASPECT RATE If this option is disabled, uoYabause draw to the entire screen.
Otherwise uoYabause keeps good old 4:3 scren size. INPUT DEVICE You can choose a game pad name, if your android device is connected to a game pad. Otherwise On Screen pad is the only option you can choose. EDIT KEY MAP If you choose a game pad, you can select this list item. And you can map your game pad buttons to the virtual SEGA Saturn game pad step by step. If your game pad doesn’t have enough amount of button for the virtual SEGA Saturn, you can skip the step by push the button “skip”.

So apparently PayPal in their infinite wisdom has decided that Yabause is illegal and apparently infringing on Sega’s copyright, despite cases that prove that emulators are perfectly legal if done correctly. It should also be noted we have never received any legal threats or letters from Sega or anyone else since our first release back in 2003. They have limited our donation account and from my understanding the account will be closed after the funds are released in 180 days.
We’re not too happy about this, but considering PayPal’s hard handed approach to dealing with anyone they deem in violation of their ToS there’s not much we can do. Anyone who’s donated in the last 60 days will have their donation refunded. So unfortunately we can’t accept monetary donations at this time. We still accept hardware donations or job offers. Please visit page for our list of needs.
Just want to let everyone know we’re currently in the process migrating several things away all from Sourceforge. We’re well aware of the concern with the changes in Sourceforge’s business practices and we’re taking it seriously. The site itself, along with the source repository, forum and wiki shouldn’t be affected since we already moved that away from Sourceforge some time ago. However file release downloads, bug reports, and a few other odd things still need to be moved. Please be patient, we’ll be finished soon enough.
