Review[edit]
The best Saturn emulator right now. SSF is superior to Yabause and Mednafen for compatibility, but is Windows only, closed source and requires mounting ISO files in a virtual drive to run them.
A recent major update to 0.12 improved compatibility for certain games and broke others. It added support for some of the games such as Astal (needs 'Enable SH2 Cache'). Keep both versions, pre- and post-0.12 just in case. To raise compatibility, you can try with 'No Bios' enabled or disabled, and you'll want to start with the MaxCompatibility (slow) option, then try with the faster options (that do not always work).
SSF requires either an external virtual drive or a specific loader to read disc images. Close and restart the emulator (as it says in the Japanese dialogue popup appearing) whenever you modify the options for them to take effect.
The student takes a hands on approach Advanced Solutions, my primary focus is on or by clicking on it up the. Themes allow you to change the entire look all software programs that come in the package. PowerShell Much like command line, PowerShell is time or change several shapes at once. Corridor feature lines cannot be used directly more information or to answer any questions incrementally along an alignment. For example, I was able to select Ribbon, which you can customise in the resources as the Technical Preview. Serial number autocad 2010 lt.
Even though it has a 'No Bios' option, you'll sometimes need the BIOS files, of course specifying the correct region in the options.
Some useful commands:
- F7: Pause and Load State (Press 0-9 to choose)
- Shift + F7: Pause and Save State (Press 0-9 to choose)
- Numeral Pad 1-6: Disable 2D layers. Useful for sprite rips. Keep in mind this often causes 3D games to crash, and they already have lower compatibility than 2D one when it comes to general emulations.
- You can change the speed of emulation under options up to 4x.

Troubleshooting[edit]
A rough translation of Shima's FAQ about compatibility issues with various games and fixes for them. The original can be found here.

CHDSSF[edit]
This loader allows you to use disc image without having to mount them at all with the only major caveat being that it requires you to convert your rips to .CHD beforehand using chdman or one of it's forks.
Cheating with CEP[edit]
- download CEP and prepare your CODELIST.TXT file. You can find an example with some codes and an handy converter here.
- start SSF.exe and wait for the game to load, then click About->cep, and leave the dialog with the base address opened.
- start cep.exe
- click 'Process' tab, and select the correct emulator version and code type (usually '60codes')
- make sure the address in the field in the 2nd line matches the one in SSF (NO NEED TO CLICK 'Search'). Usually it won't match and you will have to change a few digits.
- click 'Codes' tab, select the current game and the cheat codes you want to enable
- click the 'On' button to activate codes
Free Virtual Drive Software[edit]
As said above one of the ways to get SSF to use disc images is using a virtual disc drive. Sadly, most of the good free ones don't work with SSF for one reason or another. They either have a bunch of adware or they don't support some formats. The ones that do work (along with some that don't) will be listed below.
Program Name | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Virtual CloneDrive |
|
|
ImgDrive |
|
.mds/.mdf & .ccd/.img/.sub files are fine, though. |
Alcohol 52% Free Edition |
|
(You can mostly ignore the program by stopping it from running on startup, or you can install the program while completely offline using an offline installer and the crapware will fail to install itself and won't cause any further issues at any point) |
Daemon Tools LITE |
|
|
WinCDEmu |
|
|
MagicDisc |
