Yabause Sega Saturn Emulator
 

Want better Saturn emulation?

February 17, 2008 • CyberWarriorX • Uncategorized

So we get our regular people who would like to see changes to Yabause. It’s always good to see people who like what we do enough that they’d like to see some improvements.
Now, that being said, we’re starting to get proportionally more people nagging us for features and what not than we’re getting contributors, and that’s really kind of frustrating. Because let’s face it, most of us have jobs, family, friends, and what not, and we do this as a hobby so we really don’t have that much time individually. Now instead of ranting on and on I’ll put in plain english: We need people to contribute

How can you contribute you may ask? Well, there’s a lot of different ways you can help. Here’s a brief laundry list of things that could always use your assistance(and not all of it is programming related):

-Forum contributors – If someone asks a question on the forum you know the answer to, feel free to answer it.
-Wiki contributors – If you know anything about the Saturn, here’s your chance to let people know!
-Saturn test programs – If you’ve made anything useful that tests specific features of the Saturn in a way that may prove useful to us, we’d like to have it.
-OpenGL/Software renderer – We really need to rewrite our rendering code, but we seriously need some help here. This is the main thing people complain about, but no one wants to help us. I’m sure there’s someone out there with some experience.
-Mac OS X port improvements – We need somebody that can bring the Mac port up to par with the other ports.

I think that a bug tracker or a features wishlist would help occasional contributors.
