Emulator | Rom Folder | Extension | BIOS | Controller Config |
---|---|---|---|---|
lr-yabause | saturn | .bin .cue .iso .mdf | saturn_bios.bin | /opt/retropie/configs/saturn/retroarch.cfg |
lr-beetle-saturn | saturn | .bin .cue .iso .mdf | sega_101.bin, mpr-17933.bin | /opt/retropie/configs/saturn/retroarch.cfg |
Emulators: lr-yabause, lr-beetle-saturn
lr-yabause is experimental, and even with an overclocked RPi3B+ it is slow so it isn't recommended for Raspberry Pi users at this time.
lr-beetle-saturn is for x86 PCs only, and is recommended for those with such hardware.
ROMS
Accepted File Extensions: .cue .bin .iso .mdf
Place your Sega Saturn ROMs in
Why don't my .bin or .iso files show up?
RetroPie is configured to only show .cue files in EmulationStation so that you do not have two copies showing up of all your games.
A .cue file is basically a plain text file that tells the emulator where in the .bin file the (data and/or audio) track(s) are. This is often important in the case where multiple audio files are in the single .bin file. These are often called 'mixed mode' discs. Wikipedia .cue files
If you only have a .bin file and no .cue file, you can generate it:

Controls
lr-yabause and lr-beetle-saturn utilise Retroarch configurations
Add custom retroarch controls to the retroarch.cfg file in
For more information on custom RetroArch controls see: RetroArch Configuration
Standalone
The standalone version runs faster but requires X, QT, etc. Even then, it manages 10FPS so probably not worth adding to the scripts. If you're curious, here's the basic instructions to get it installed:
make some directory, and go in it
go into a terminal on your pi itself
navigate to /your_directory/yabause/yabausesrc/qt
