The Sega Saturn is a 32 bit 5th generation home video game console released by Sega in 1994. It has a total of 8 processors which makes it one of the most difficult consoles to emulate.
Description: For use with Fusion Emulating Sega CD/Mega CD, 32X, Mega CD-32X and Sega CD-32X games For use with Gens Emulating Sega CD/Mega CD and 32X games Contains the Recomended bios versions:- 32XGBIOS.BIN 32XMBIOS.BIN 32XSBIOS.BIN eumcd19210.bin jpmcd19112.bin usscd19210.bin GenesisOSROM.bin. I'll show you how to set up, on your Raspberry Pi 3, a 32gb micro SD card image of over 5500 retro games! These will cover systems such as Nintendo, Super Ni. MAME 2003¶ Background¶. MAME 2003 is a libretro arcade system emulator core originally derived from xmame 0.78. This core is a popular choice for the Raspberry Pi family and other low-powered hardware because it supports most 2D-era arcade games and a broad set of features without requiring as much processor and memory resources as later MAME cores.
Emulator | Rom Folder | Extension | BIOS | Controller Config |
---|---|---|---|---|

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.

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:

BIOS
The BIOS file needed for lr-yabause is saturn_bios.bin or for lr-beetle-saturn sega_101.bin (Required for JP games) and mpr-17933.bin (Required for US/EU games)

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

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. MAME can emulate thousands of games that otherwise would have been lost in the ash-heaps of history.

There are a variety of arcade emulator versions available in RetroPie. There are significant differences in performance, compatibility, and configuration between them. If you're getting started with an arcade emulation project, begin by reading the Arcade page.
This page is a resource for additional details on RetroPie's MAME emulators including configuration paths, controls, and the ROM sets which each emulator requires.

MAME ROM paths
Three of the available MAME ROM paths in RetroPie are shared directories which are used by more than one emulator:
arcade
, mame-libretro
, mame-advmame
. In order to successfully load zipped ROM sets in these locations you must specify the arcade emulator version which matches your ROMs.Nes Rom Pack
To avoid having several menus for different arcade emulators, all arcade-based ROMs can be placed in the
arcade
ROM folder, but you will have to specify which emulator each zipped ROM set will use from the Runcommand Menu.Emulators

lr-mame2003-plus (MAME 2003-Plus)
MAME 2003-Plus (also referred to as MAME 2003+ and mame2003-plus) is a libretro arcade system emulator core with an emphasis on high performance and broad compatibility with mobile devices, single board computers, embedded systems, and similar platforms.
In order to take advantage of the performance and lower hardware requirements of an earlier MAME architecture, MAME 2003-Plus began with the MAME 2003 codebase which is itself derived from xmame 0.78. Upon that base, MAME 2003-Plus contributors have backported support for several hundred additional games as well as other functionality not originally present in MAME 0.78.
Please see the libretro MAME 2003-Plus core documentation for information on how to configure specific features of this emulator.
MAME Version: 0.78-0.188 (MAME 0.78 as a baseline with other ROMs backported from later MAME romsets)

Controls
While in a game press Tab to open the menu to set up controls. AdvanceMAME configuration for controls are all stored in the .rc file corresponding to the version of AdvanceMAME you are running. Changes to specific games result in .rc file entries with a prefix for the ROM (i.e.
