Mednafen's Sony PlayStation, NEC PC Engine (Fast, not Accurate, version), SNK Neo Geo Pocket/Color, Nintendo Virtual Boy, Sega Saturn and Bandai WonderSwan/Color emulators are all available as [[libretro]] cores under the name "Beetle", so it might make more sense to use [[RetroArch]] instead.
Version 1.31.0 added experimental support for [https://system16.com/hardware.php?id=711 ST-V games] that don't require decryption chips or special hardware. Refer to the [https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/ss.html#Section_stv ST-V section of the official documentation] for more details and a list of explicitly supported games.
==Using Mednafen==
===BIOS===
Most cores do not require any BIOS except for the Sony PlayStation, NEC PC Engine CD, PC-FX, and Sega Saturn cores. BIOS files need to be placed into a folder called "firmware" in your Mednafen directory. Mednafen is very picky about which BIOS to use, but all of these come with the [[Emulator_Files#Multi-System|Mednafen BIOS pack]] and are correctly named. <ref group=notes>Mednafen can be forced to accept incorrect bios roms by editing its config file if you absolutely cannot find the correct ones, but this may cause compatibility problems.</ref> The ones that you might need are:
'''Sony PlayStation'''
* sega_101.bin
* mpr-17933.bin
For ST-V games, use the original uncompressed files inside stvbios.zip from MAME romset.
===CUE===
|-
| '''CONS''' ||
* Command-line only (you can use a frontendthankfully, thoughfront-end GUI for this emulator exists)
* Weird, convoluted settings (or lack thereof)
* Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulation will be slow to you if you're on a low-end computer (uses bsnes core)
* Sony PlayStation core is accurate but slow
* Only supports 2 players on Genesis
* No CHD file support
