Application Description
If you're a fan of retro gaming and looking to relive the magic of the SEGA Saturn on your Android device, Yaba Sanshiro is your go-to emulator. Built to mimic the SEGA Saturn's hardware using software, it lets you enjoy classic SEGA Saturn titles directly on your smartphone or tablet.
Please note that due to copyright regulations, Yaba Sanshiro doesn’t come bundled with BIOS data or games. To get started, you'll need to bring your own game files. Here’s how:
Create an ISO Image: Start by creating an ISO file from your SEGA Saturn game CDs using tools like InfraRecorder or similar software.
Transfer Files: Copy the ISO file to /sdcard/yabause/games/
on your device. For Android 10 and above, the path changes to /sdcard/Android/data/org.devmiyax.yabasanshioro2.free/files/yabause/games/
.
Launch the App: Open Yaba Sanshiro and select the game icon from the menu.
Important Notes for Android 10 and Above:
- Due to the Scoped Storage feature, the default game folder has shifted to
/sdcard/Android/data/org.devmiyax.yabasanshioro2.free/files/yabause/games/
. - Any game files, save data, or state data will be deleted if the app is uninstalled.
- When loading games via the "Load Game" menu, the app uses the Storage Access Framework.
Additional Features:
- Enhanced graphics with higher resolution polygons powered by OpenGL ES 3.0.
- Expanded internal backup memory from 32KB to 8MB.
- Backup options to copy save data to your personal cloud and sync across devices.
