Starflight Black Screen when Load on Gensis Plus GX Core
#2

Do you have Sega Saturn bios installed in the Retroarch/system/ directory? Looks like the core isn’t even loading.

#3

Yes I do have the Bios Files in System Folder.

Core Loads Up but Crashes when I 1st start a Campaign while the Text’s Comes Up

#4

Support for this core has been dropped back in 2019, so i recommend switching to other saturn cores since i doubt you’ll find help for this one.

#5

Then what Saturn Core should I be using then?

What ones are still Supported?

#6

I guess any core whose author didn’t make dozens of statements that he’ll never touch it again would be better as far as support is involved, and i believe mednafen/beetle saturn is the best libretro saturn core available right now.

#7

Sorry I never saw that Statement.

I read somewhere that that Beetle Saturn Core was no longer being Worked on but they also said the Libretro Team said the Yabasashiro Core was the Main Retroarch Saturn Core

#8

I mentioned it in pretty much every topic about this core on this forum, and also in other places related to libretro/retroarch.

It still has by far the best compatibility among libretro saturn cores, and while it’s behind upstream, i don’t remember hearing the support was dropped, nor that it has major issues.

Be more careful about your sources, because the libretro team never said that.

#9

Another Reason to use them over Beetle Saturn that Cheats actually work on these Cores where they don’t on Beetle Saturn

#10

Feel free to use whatever core you want, just don’t expect any kind of support for yabasanshiro, this crap is unmaintained.

What do you mean No Support?

1- No Updates(I am not)

2-No Help from people IF I can’t get something to work.

Is there Support for Kronos and Yabausue?

#12

Both, there is no dev interested in that core anymore, so no one to update it or fix issues.

Kronos is active and maintained. Yabause upstream is dead, so don’t expect any major update, the libretro port is already in sync with it, the most you can expect are improvements in its libretro integration (retroachievements, alternative device types, …), which i’ve been backporting from Kronos occasionally.

If only kronos could be port on android, it would be a great thing to emulate saturn with retroarch’ advantages

Man that sucks, I remember talking about this core in another thread, Yabasanshiro is literally the only Saturn core that works for Android users at decent speeds , tragic part is that the core version available (v3.4 2) is the last version that only had gl support right before the dev introduced Vulkan support to the emulator. All I wanted to do was use slang shaders with this core and I was just an update away from making that happen, just one more update is all I need lol

I remember telling you in that other topic that i won’t touch that core ever again because i can’t stand the fact upstream keeps breaking the original yabause license. For anyone who wants that core to get updates, it’s time to acquire some computer skills and become the next maintainer.

Edit : closing since this is apparently a hot topic where people report perfectly appropriate answers as inappropriate.
