For those wanting to give a try to the PSP port, there’s now a binary available, check the download page.

Dudeeeeee Says:

It’s so sad I only have a PSP-1000…
I didn’t look at the source, but why can’t the saturn be emulated with 24MB?
I mean, 2MB of RAM, 1.5 VRAM, 0.5MB of Audio RAM, 0.5MB of CD Cache …that sums to 4.5MB. I know, you need more to actually emulate those things, and even more on a decent speed, but still…
Which part of the emulation uses so much memory?
Can we expect a PSP-1000 version in the future? :)
Thanks a lot.

i really wish you guys would consider a xbox port, if its because you cant get a hold of the XDK, i have it, but if its because of you not being able to release it because of it being made with the XDK, then i can understand.

PSP Hacks Says:

WTF Says:

Tried iso+cue for both dragon force and shining the holy ark, both roms got stufck in the media player. What am I doing wrong?

that bastard Says:

can’t get it started can anybody help

Beelzebub06660 Says:

WTF: You have to rename the ISO you’re trying to play to CD.ISO for the emulator to boot it.

that bastard: download yabause from here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/yabause/yabause-0.9.10-psp.zip?download then extract the folder inside it to PSP/GAME/. Now take your Sega Saturn bios (Google for it), make sure the bios you’re using matches the games region that you’re trying to play. Now make sure it’s named bios.bin, and copy it to the yabause folder on your PSP. Lastly is the game you’ll be booting. The game has to be in ISO format, so if it’s in a different format you’ll need to convert it. Make sure it’s named CD.ISO and copy it to the Yabause folder on you PSP. Now boot Yabause and it should boot straight into the game. Hope this helps…

Also, just tried Shining in the Holy Ark, gets to the SEGA logo then after that it’s nothing but a black screen, waited for about 3 minutes, in case it was just slow to load, but no change.

Followed Beelzebub06660’s instructions with Magic Knight Rayearth and Bug Too and I’m stuck at the SEGA screen when the BIOS boots and I’m about ready to rip my hair out. What’s wrong here?

Que13x Says:

I noticed that Panzer Dragoon II Zwei is not on the compatibility list.

I am willing to donate my entire library of games to this project (if it helps) if you guys focus on getting this title running for PSP. Heck, I might even toss in a console if you need it.

Panzer Dragoon II Zwei was the only reason I ever wanted a Saturn and it it would be way cool to have it on the go.

I am really excited that this project is still alive and wish I could do more to help.

James Says:

nice that you guys are getting a loading screen i have a top of the line machine and still no start up on psp or windows computer

selo Says:

perry Says:

Smoker1 Says:

I saw something like this for a Dreamcast Emu that was running at about 10-20fps. Read that for emulating, you need to hvae about 3x the system requirments of the system your trying to emulate and run. Dont know if that is true, but I have a better idea:
Everyone knows they have a PSX2PSP converter so you can make a PSX game an actual PSP game right? Right. Thats is because ( to my knowledge) the emulator sucked!! But making a Converter worked beautifully. Why, instead of making a emulator, doesnt developers make a converter for DC and Saturn to PSP?? To me, emulators are good for running games that are in Rom form (CPS1-2, Sega Gen, SNES, MAME, N64). For CD based games, its just better to make a converter.

psp forums Says:

Hi, thanks for posting this article. Do you know where I can find more information on this. Thanks

Royal Shiva Says:

You all are wrong. Yabause can be launch on PSP-1000. Ehh my current problem is how to name GAME IMAGE (.bin .iso). In latest ver. of Yabause for PSP (work on phat & slim) GAME IMAGE name must be CD.ISO

Royal Shiva Says:

I tried to run game (The Legend of Oasis) & with succes!!! but only on PHAT model about 1-3 fps. On SLIM it stops after SEGA logo. After 30min of trying to run this game on slim i succeed to next logo ANCIENT but then it freeze permanently. This was done with properly created BACKUP.BIN somehow it helps to boot game. Maybe my bad ENG will help someone if project will continue.

joder666 Says:

This is great i though everything related to this emu died years ego, now i found there’s a psp version danm good.

Keep the good work men!!!

PSP Hacks Says:

Thanks for sharing great artcles, I will keep coming back to check your site for this kinds of article. Thanks!

iPhone Guy Says:

An iPhone port would be awesome and maybe not to difficult since its on UNIX like OS X. You could sell it in the Cydia store like zodttd.com does for other emulators, and that could really help with furthering Yabause development. You guys are doing great keep up the good work!
