![]() They have all been abandoned (or in the case of Giri Giri, sold to SEGA). The Yabause emulator carries the torch now. It builds on Mac OS X and even ships an OS X binary, in an app bundle too! You won’t need much help getting it to work. With a game ISO (original disc in your system, or disc image – see my earlier post on imaging your original discs), and a Sega Saturn BIOS file, you are good to go. The first thing to do is to open Preferences, and point it to the location of your Sega Saturn BIOS file. Also uncheck the box for “Enable BIOS emulation” unless you were unable to find a copy of this BIOS file anywhere. Audio just works, and there’s nothing to change. With the current version (0.9.13) the OpenGL graphics renderer shows no graphics at all (just a black screen with audio). Then if you go to fullscreen, it crashes the emulator. The software graphics renderer is not fast enough to be playable with frameskip turned on, the game is playable, but you wouldn’t want to. The third option is the “Grand Central Dispatch” graphics driver, and this actually works well. But the real fix is downloading Yabause version 0.9.12, which had a working OpenGL mode on OS X. They appear to be aware of this bug and it might get fixed in the next version. Also, if your system is fast enough, it will actually cause issues with emulation speed unless you check the option in the menu bar: Emulation -> Enable Frameskip. The emulation speed is not perfect all the time, but this keeps it on target as much as possible. There is no support for controllers at the moment, so you have to play with the keyboard. That may be okay for some games, but I hope that controller support comes quickly in a future version. The work-around for now is to run a tool that maps keyboard keys to a controller’s inputs. On Mac OS X, your choices are ControllerMate ($25) or Enjoy2 (free, open source). Download and run Enjoy2.app, and then get your PS3 controller to Bluetooth pair with your Mac. ![]() Now it should automatically show up in Enjoy2. If you press a button on the controller, it will jump to a place in the list with an auto-generated button name (up on the d-pad will be “Button 5 (null)” but don’t worry about that). For each key you want to assign to a controller input, just set it to “Press a key” and then in the field next to it, hit a key on the keyboard. When done configuring, hit the “Start” in Enjoy2. ![]() You can test your mapping using a text editor you should be able to type with the PS3 controller.
