Compatibility list of Kronos MAME Has a saturn driver with compatibility on par with Yabause. Has his own written SH2 Interpreter, and now supports the ST-V arcade in version 1.30, and Higher (All ST-V games are launchable on Linux most games are still problematic on Windows). Kronos A fork of UoYabause 0.5.2 created by François (French dev. UoYabause Compatibility List and official compatibility page. Unlike other forks, it uses the GPU to emulate the VDP1, VDP2, and has a modified SH2 Dynamic Recompiler.

YabaSanshiro (formerly uoYabause) A Multi-platform fork by DevMiyax using OpenGL ES 3.X (Android), and Open GL 3.X (Windows). Development seems to have stopped, active forks are Kronos which is recommended for PCs, and YabaSanshiro which is recommended for Android. It's far less developed than SSF and Mednafen and still has many compatibility issues. Yabause Used to be the first and only option for multi-platform Saturn emulation. Pretty good performance with mid-range (and maybe low-end) computers. However, it is closed-source and only for Windows and Android. SSF Used to be the emulator of choice for compatible Saturn emulation. By default, only x86-64 builds have Saturn support, but unofficial x86-32 builds and libretro frontends like RetroArch can surpass this limitation. Its goal for accuracy means it only supports the BIOS of one console revision per region, and is also very demanding, having recommendations to use a quad-core Intel Haswell CPU with a base frequency of >= 3.3GHz and a turbo frequency of >= 3.7GHz (e.g.

It's currently the most accurate but runs from the command-line (obviously it'll have video output though) unless using an external frontend like Mednaffe or a libretro frontend like RetroArch. Comparisons Mednafen An open-source, multi-system emulator with an original Saturn core.
