SEGA SATURN TECHNICAL BULLETIN #1 To: Sega and Third Party Developers From: Developer Technical Support Date: June 2, 1995 Re: Saturn CD Drive Duty Ratio Restrictions When developing CD-ROM software for the Saturn, note the following restriction: The duty ratio of the Saturn CD drive must be 33% or less after approximately 10 minutes.

Sega Saturn Region Patcher, SSRP, is a tool to change region codes in a MODE0/MODE1 Sega Saturn CD image. Usage: SSRP imagename filename newfile ‘imagename’ is the name of the CD image in MODE0/MODE1 format ‘region’ is the region code; Notes: ‘imagename’ must be a valid MODE0/MODE1 Sega Saturn CD image ‘region’ must be a valid. Sega CD Roms To play Sega CD roms, an emulator is required. Popular Sega CD emulators include gens v2.11, xega v0.10 for windows, genecyst vx.xx for DOS. View all Genesis emulators.

Introduction

NOTE: The Sega Saturn emulation is currently experimental and under active development. By default(and for the official releases for Windows), Saturn emulation is only compiled in for builds for some 64-bit architectures(x86_64, AArch64, PPC64). The separate SSF playback module does not have this limitation.

Mednafen's Sega Saturn emulation is extremely CPU intensive. The minimum recommended CPU is a quad-core Intel Haswell-microarchitecture CPU witha base frequency of >= 3.3GHz and a turbo frequency of >= 3.7GHz(e.g. Xeon E3-1226 v3), but note that this recommendation does not apply to any unofficial ports or forks,which may have higher CPU requirements.

Save states are supported, but the data is not fully sanitized properly on save state load, so definitely avoid loading save states acquired from sources you don't trust(this includes via netplay).

Enabling CD image preloading into memory via the cd.image_memcache setting is recommended, toavoid short emulator pauses and audio pops due to waiting for disk accesses to complete when the emulated CD is accessed.

A list of known emulation bugs(with workarounds in some cases) in Saturn games with Mednafen is available at https://forum.fobby.net/index.php?t=msg&th=1357

Mednafen's Sega Saturn emulation should not be used in lieu of a Sega Saturn for authoritative game performance/FPS review purposes. The emulation will generallyrun Saturn games with less slowdown than on a real Saturn, even when more accurate emulation modes are enabled via internal databases.

Firmware/BIOS

Place the correct BIOS image files in the correct location.

The filenames listed below are per default ss.bios_* settings.

Key:

Mouse on Virtual Ports 1-12

NOTE: The default mapping for the emulated mouse 'START' button conflicts with the default mapping for the 'Enter' key on the emulated keyboards on all virtual ports, and the default mapping for 'START' on the emulated digital gamepad on virtual port 1. If you want to use an emulated mouse with an emulated keyboard, you should probably remap the 'START' button to a non-keyboard host device. Emulated Button:
Mouse, Right ButtonRight Button

Cache Mode

This database is used to automatically select cache emulation mode, to fix various logic and timing issues in games. The default cache mode is is a hack of sorts, to work around cache coherency bugs in games. These bugs are typically masked on a real Saturn due to the effects of instruction fetches on the cache, but become a problem when only data caching is emulated.
Full cache emulation is not enabled globally primarily due to the large increase in host CPU usage. ID:

Settings Reference

Caution: Any settings that change emulation behavior as seen from the emulated game are shown with the setting name bolded in the table. One should be conscious of these settings if one has changed them from the default values when using network play or movies, as they can cause desychronizations if not set the same among hosts(or between the recording emulator and the playing emulator).

1		1Enable CD (image) sanity checks.
ss.correct_aspectboolean0
1		1Correct aspect ratio.

Disabling aspect ratio correction with this setting should be considered a hack.
If disabling it to allow for sharper pixels by also separately disabling interpolation(though using Mednafen's 'autoipsharper' OpenGL shader is usually a better option), remember to use scale factors that are multiples of 2, or else games that use high-resolution and interlaced modes will have distorted pixels.
Disabling aspect ratio correction with this setting will allow for the QuickTime movie recording feature to produce much smaller files using much less CPU time.

ss.h_blendboolean0
1		0Enable horizontal blend(blur) filter.

Intended for use in combination with the 'goat' OpenGL shader, or with bilinear interpolation or linear interpolation on the X axis enabled. Has a more noticeable effect with the Saturn's higher horizontal resolution modes(640/704).

ss.scsp.resamp_qualityinteger0 through 104SCSP output resampler quality.

0 is lowest quality and CPU usage, 10 is highest quality and CPU usage. The resampler that this setting refers to is used for converting from 44.1KHz to the sampling rate of the host audio device Mednafen is using. Changing Mednafen's output rate, via the 'sound.rate' setting, to '44100' may bypass the resampler, which can decrease CPU usage by Mednafen, and can increase or decrease audio quality, depending on various operating system and hardware factors.

The destination rectangle is NOT altered by this setting, so if you have xscale and yscale set to '2', and try to use a 3x scaling filter like hq3x, the image is not going to look that great. The nearest-neighbor scalers are intended for use with bilinear interpolation enabled, at high resolutions(such as 1280x1024; nn2x(or nny2x) + bilinear interpolation + fullscreen stretching at this resolution looks quite nice).

  • none - None/Disabled

  • nn3x - Nearest-neighbor 3x

  • nn4x - Nearest-neighbor 4x

  • nny2x - Nearest-neighbor 2x, y axis only

  • 0 - Disabled

  • full - Full
    Full-screen stretch, disregarding aspect ratio.

  • aspect - Aspect Preserve
    Full-screen stretch as far as the aspect ratio(in this sense, the equivalent xscalefs yscalefs) can be maintained.

  • aspect_int - Aspect Preserve + Integer Scale
    Full-screen stretch, same as 'aspect' except that the equivalent xscalefs and yscalefs are rounded down to the nearest integer.

  • aspect_mult2 - Aspect Preserve + Integer Multiple-of-2 Scale
    Full-screen stretch, same as 'aspect_int', but rounds down to the nearest multiple of 2.

ss.xresinteger0 through 655360Full-screen horizontal resolution.

A value of '0' will cause the current desktop horizontal resolution to be used.

ss.xscalereal0.01 through 2563.000000Scaling factor for the X axis in windowed mode.
ss.xscalefsreal0.01 through 2561.000000Scaling factor for the X axis in fullscreen mode.

For this setting to have any effect, the '.stretch' setting must be set to '0'.

ss.yresinteger0 through 655360Full-screen vertical resolution.

A value of '0' will cause the current desktop vertical resolution to be used.

ss.yscalereal0.01 through 2563.000000Scaling factor for the Y axis in windowed mode.
ss.yscalefsreal0.01 through 2561.000000Scaling factor for the Y axis in fullscreen mode.

For this setting to have any effect, the '.stretch' setting must be set to '0'.
