I had high hopes for a Saturn emulator because it's one of the best consoles that Sega has released. The game selection was great, especially if you were a fan of imports. Radiant Silvergun or Soukyugurentai anyone? Yabause is the only Sega Saturn emulator for Linux, and I was hoping to have a similar experience as I had with the PSX emulator. That was not the case, at all.

Although many of the games I had worked, they didn't work well. In the shots above, you can see that the Nights Into Dreams title screen was displayed properly, but once I was in the game, the video was so incredibly messed up, that it was virtually unplayable. It had a serious rainbow, trance-like effect. In the right screenshot you can see Virtua Cop, which happened to be within the 10% of the time where you could actually see what was happening. Needless to say, support for games in Yabause are low. So low, it's to the point of not being worth a try.

I did manage to run Daytona USA however, but still had some random graphic glitches. It was fully playable and ran well. Out of the 7 or 8 games I tried, it was the only one to work reliably. If you insist on trying it out anyway, you can check out the compatibility portion of the official site. While support is still a little iffy, Yabause is still in development, albeit a slow one. I truly hope to see a version that has wider compatibilities in the future.

Senken is a city simulation game. Players buy the land, build the infrastructure, balance the books, and convince people to move in. The game has both goal-oriented and just play modes.

Serious Sam is a high-adrenaline arcade-action shooter heavily focused on frantic arcade-style single player action. Fight wave after wave of monsters in an incredibly rendered ancient Egyptian setting.

You need a retail Serious Sam disc to install this. This is only for The First Encounter, you need a different installer for The Second Encounter. It is not network compatible with Windows servers and clients.

From the release announcement:
You'll need a retail Second Encounter disc to install the game, but you don't need Windows; the install you download will (hopefully) know what to do with the disc.

This game should be considered extremely buggy and incomplete at this time. Bug reports go in the bugtracker, but don't expect a response or fix in a timely manner.
