I'm pretty fluent with most general emulator stuff but this had a few quirks. Sure enough, your channel is there to make everything painless. I've been using emulators for 20 years. You have the best tutorials on TH-cam. Concise, clear, thorough, and no BS. Thank you so much for your help over the years.
I love this guy's emulator set-up videos, they are always straight to the point with no padding. Thanks!
this is honestly one of clearest, most concise walkthroughs for setting something up that I've ever seen. Thanks man
One of the most well explained and straight forward tutorials. Great Job.
cheers for the help man ive always wanted to emulate the saturn but always found it to be an effort thanks again for the guide
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much, and great job.Subscribed!
Dude thank you so much! This was really helpful, I had no idea how to make it work at all
If anyone is having issues loading games in the cue/bin format, you can drag the cue file to the emulator and it'll play!
But if the emulator doesnt accept it and give this error message saying it's "potentially unsafe", you just need to open the cue file in text format, and delete the part of the name that says "C:\SATURN\", leaving only the name of the game
For example, if when opening with the notepad it says "FILE "C:\SATURN\008 SHINING WISDOM (U).BIN" BINARY", you need delete the "C:\SATURN\" part, then close, save the file, and drag to the mednafen emulator and it'll load no problem!
If you fear it wont work, try and test with a copy of the cue file! It worked for me!
perfect tutorial. i dont usually comment on youtube videos but i just wanted to say thanks!! i had been messing around for the past 2 days trying to get saturn emulation to work (tried retroarch, yaba sanshiro on mobile, and kronos) and nothing worked. was too intimidated to try mednafen because i heard it lacked a GUI and worked off of command line. sounded intense lol.
your tutorial was so good. worked first try with no issues. tysm. looking forward to playing panzer dragoon
I sympathize. I'm in the IT field for 20 years and normally have zero issues with emulators but Saturn is just fucked from what little I have seen (couple hours of failure with Beetle and Yabause). This worked in 10 min, tho! Very excited.
I tried for HOURS to get Beetle and Yabause to work on this old POS I have in the living room running Win 10. Figured I would just buy a Saturn if Mednafen didn't work--this vid helped me get SF3 up and running in 10 minutes. Thanks, Sir!
This was extremely helpful! This works amazingly and you made setting things up super easy. Thank you so much!
solid tutorial. First time i've actually gotten an emulator to work first try
OMG thanks so much for this video. I was scratching my head trying to g to figure out how to get Saturn games to play.
That's a perfect tutorial. Thank you so much.
awesome tutorial, no bllshi and straight to the point, thanks dude!
Bro, you're just *the* go-to force! Thx a bunch!
The way every tutorial should be
Worked perfectly!! thank you very much
Sweet, thanks for the tutorial. Woulda probably never figured this out for myself since I just wanted to get into this emu to experience a niche horror rpg I saw someone talk about.
10/10 to both the emulator and this tutorial 👌
Thank you so much. I failed to get it running it Retroarch and was going to try the stand alone route. Don't need to now. Those two bios files were the secret sauce. Bout to play me some Die Hard Arcade.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I wasn't sure how to use Mednafen, but I really wanted to play Saturn games on my PC (Yabuse wasn't that great). Now I can, thanks to you! 😄
Yabuse is so unreliable 😭
Excellent, straight to the point with no fluff. Thank you!
Thank you sir, I got to set up my mednafen setup thank to you!
Thank you for this tutorial, it works great!
Straight to point and simple to understand. Thanks.
Thanks a lot! Mednafen works well. I've been struggling with Saturn emulation. Kronos is kinda unstable, setting the controls in Retroarch is a pain if you are playing on an actual USB Saturn controller and SSF would not recognize my controller for the life of me.
Thank you. This was a real headscratcher for me.
You are the MAN.Thanks well done!!!
Excuse me you dropped this 👑
great video homie got groove on fight to work on my pc thanks brother!!
Thanks, you made my day :D
Amazing Guide! Thank You!!!
Perfect guide, thank you!
damn genius, respect.
Appreciate it brother, thanks
worked great with my retrobit wireless saturn pad :)
thanks man, good video! panzer dragoon time~
You are the man my friend!
You saved me a lot of hassle, thanks brew
Very good tutorial, suscribed ;-p
Much appreciated!
The link to download the bios is not working does anybody know why?
Thanks, King!
You have the best "How to channel" for emulation gaming. 100%.
But I have 2 questions (maybe it was adressed and I missed it)
1 how do you setup the second controller?
2 is there a way to get the game running without dragging and dropping the rom onto the mednafen app?
Very helpful
Thanks man
Thank you man! I just had trouble to set my buttons! When usine "1" on the num pad, it said "11"... Had to use the "&" to set controller 1! Cheers from France!
Thank you my dude!
Great vid thanks man
you are awesome
Great tutorial.
Thank you kindly.
I’ll give this a shot. I’m trying to play the ultimate version of Symphony of the Night (it’s a romhack), but it refuses to work on my retroid pocket 4 using Yaba Sanshiro. The creator of the romhack uses Mednafen, so if it works there, maybe I can work backwards and see what is wrong on my end.
Edit: well I got it to work on Mednafen (thanks for the instructions, btw) by using the pre patched version I got from CDRomance. I have no idea why it’s not working on my retroid. I’m gonna play around with retroarch I guess. I’ll give the BIOS you provided a try there. Can’t change the BIOS on Yaba Sanshiro as far as I know, so that might be a dead end for me.
The website with the bios doesn't seem to work, so I had to get those files somewhere else
where did you get them? cant find it
@@alicelovesmen2003 If you type the media fire url at 2:16 you can still get it. The other website just points to media fire
Thank you!!!
I've used this with success before, it's a solid saturn emulation option. Unfortunately when emulating through an fronted interface like bigbox dragging and dropping to launch stuff entirely negates the point of using a front end. One click launch through a front end hiding all the behind the scenes crap behind a nice interface
Configuring controls? hold down Alt+Shift+any number 1-8
Where can i get ps3 bios??
i cant access the bios at timekills it keeps taking me to a place to buy domain any help would be greatly appreciated!
Apparently Mednafen only supports files up to 48mb. All my files are disc image files and will not play. Size exceeded error message
I'm new to the Saturn and MEDNAFEN and wondering how I can save my game progress?
If anyone has a solution for this, I'd be interested: I have Mednafen installed on a decent desktop and the games run well on it. I have an even more powerful laptop now, with plenty of ram and aryzen 5 processor and it's struggling to play Marverl Superheroes vs Streetfighter. the version of Mednafen is a couple of years older than the one I just downloaded. did they screw something up in a recent update?
Zipped game files not turning into ISO files when extracted
What do i do when no error message pops up when i try to run the emulator the first time.
have problems from where could i get working roms? for some reason it didn't work for me
Can this work with only keyboard or do you need a controller
How to option i want to play in maus
THASK
Good evening how do insert cheats?.
Anyway to set up Analog controls?
How Do You Add Cheats To It I Need Help On It?
How do I reduce the screen size?
This emulator has no resolution scaling?
where to get the games?
I was using wrong bios before
ALT+SHIFT+1 why's it gotta be so needlessly complicated to config the controls lmaooooOOo
Didn't work.
I think ypu need to drop the cue file first or omething
jh
Thank you fat low tier god!
pls say whats nine + ten
Thanks!
Thanks bro.
Thank you!
Thanks!
