About this game

Advanced open-source Saturn emulator based on Mednafen with a minimalist UI and a focus on low audio/video latency. At least a PIxel 4 or device with similar specs is recommended for optimal performance.

* Multiple disc support using .m3u files
* Per-game screen rotation for Tate mode shmups
* Multitap and light gun support
* Configurable on-screen controls
* Bluetooth/USB gamepad & keyboard support compatible with any HID device recognized by the OS like Xbox and PS4 controllers

No ROMs are included with this app and must be supplied by the user. It supports Android's storage access framework for opening files on both internal and external storage (SD cards, USB drives, etc.)

Ratings and reviews

In my opinion, 10 out of 10 sega sarurn emularor, however some updates I would suggest to make it not annoying like save or opening up a manule save, would be to get rid of the visual effects when saving or when the menu appears when the 3 dots are pressed or the annoying pop-ups from time to time. Yet, for now thats all I can think of 10 out of 10!

Simple UI, but works very well. Will need a powerful chip to run smoothly. (I used Poco X3 Pro). It crashed after 3 turns when playing Gihren's Greed though. But it's great to see someone porting mednafen to Android. Hope that it gets more stable over time. Giving a 4 stars for now.

Fantastic emulator in terms of accuracy and performance that would be a 5 with some user guidance, support for analogue control, and custom button mapping (the button mapping in the menus have no effect), which are all basics.

What’s new

* Add a rewind button to the stock top-left virtual controls and only the show the rewind button when rewind states are set in the system options
* Add Options -> Frame Timing -> Low Latency Mode to keep the emulation thread in sync with the renderer thread to prevent extra latency, turned on by default but trying turning off in case of performance issues
* Default to the screen's reported refresh rate as the output rate if the device supports multiple rates
