Video game console emulator

SSF

System(s): Sega Saturn, arcade (Sega Titan Video)
OS: Windows
Developer: Shima
Last release date: 2017-07-02^[1] (6 years ago)
Last version: 0.12 beta R4 (stable); 2017-07-02 TestVer

SSF is a Sega Saturn and Sega Titan Video emulator for Windows, developed by Shima. It is able to run most Saturn games without issues, directly from a CD or virtual CD drive.

The emulator has a certain amount of input lag. Suggested solutions are to disable V-sync (emulator settings, causes tearing) and enable "VDP2 RAM write timing".

Features

BIOS file not required, but may improve compatibility in certain cases
All regions (PAL & NTSC) emulated
Backup memory emulated
Savestates supported
Joystick support
Can dump screenshots in BMP format, and audio in WAV format
Unoptimized PAL games can be made run at the speed of their NTSC counterpart by setting the "Emulation Speed" lever to 1.20, often without unwanted acceleration of music and sound playback.
