:An open-source, [[multi-system emulators|multi-system emulator]] with an original Saturn core. It's currently the most accurate but runs from the command-line (obviously it'll have video output though) unless using an external frontend like Mednaffe or a [[libretro]] frontend like [[RetroArch]]. Its goal for accuracy means it only supports the BIOS of one console revision per region, and is also more demanding than any other Saturn emulator (other than [[MAME]])<ref name="Mednafen Saturn core documentation">{{MednafenURL|documentation/ss.html}}</ref>. By default, only x86-64 builds have Saturn support, but unofficial x86-32 builds and [[libretro]] frontends like [[RetroArch]] can surpass this limitation.

:Used to be the emulator of choice for compatible Saturn emulation. However, it is closed-source and only for Windows and Android. Pretty good performance with low-end computers.
*City Connection uses SSF as part of Zebra Engine, the engine behind their ''[https://city-connection.co.jp/s-tribute/en/ Saturn Tribute]'' releases, currently for Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC. Some games are altered with English translations (''Assault Suit Leynos 2'') or with censorship from CERO (''Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai'' series).
:Used to be the first and only option for multi-platform Saturn emulation. It's far less developed than SSF and Mednafen and still has many compatibility issues. Development seems to have stopped, active forks are Libretro core, Kronos and Yaba Sanshiro 2.
:;Yaba Sanshiro 2 <small>(formerly uoYabause)</small> <small class="plainlinks" style="font-weight:normal;">([https://www.uoyabause.org/games compatibility])</small>
::A Multi-platform fork by DevMiyax using OpenGL ES 3.X (Android), and Open GL 3.X (Windows). Unlike other forks, it uses the GPU to emulate the VDP1, VDP2, and has a modified SH2 Dynamic Recompiler.
:;Kronos <small class="plainlinks" style="font-weight:normal;">([https://tradu-france.com/wiki-emu-compatibility/index.php?title=Compatibility_list_of_Kronos compatibility])</small>
::A fork of UoYabause 0.5.2 created by François (French dev. AKA 'FCare'.). Has his own written SH2 Interpreter, and now supports the ST-V arcade in version 1.30, and Higher (All ST-V games are launchable on Linux; most games are still problematic on Windows). 2115 games have been tested : 1884 are playable (89.08 %), 209 are not, 19 are almost playable.

:Has a <code style="color:darkred;">saturn</code> driver with compatibility on par with Yabause. The driver is marked overall as not working but graphics and sound are OK. It has good compatibility with at least around 50 of the ~70 ST-V arcade games, though performance quality may vary<ref name="ST-V_A-Z">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tko_jBNci0k |title=Sega ST-V Arcade Games A to Z - M.A.M.E.|publisher=Youtube|accessdate=2018-05-23|date=2017-02-10}}</ref>.
