'''SSF''' is a [[Sega Saturn emulators|Sega Saturn]] emulator. It's is the only Sega Saturn emulator to date that has any level of compatibility with SS games and the only one worth using.

The best, and only good Saturn emulator right now. SSF is superior to Yabause for compatibility, but is Windows only and closed source sadly. Far, far better than Yabause.

It had a A recent major update, to 0.12, which improved compatibility for certain games but and broke others. It added support for some of games like such as Astal (needs "Enable SH2 Cache").  Keep both versions, pre- and post-0.12 just in case. To raise compatibility, you can try with "No Bios" enabled or disabled, and you'll want to start with the MaxCompatibility (slow) option, then try with the faster options (that do not always work).

The emulator SSF needs an external virtual drive to read iso ISO files. You'll need to close Close and restart the emulator (as it says in the Japanese dialogue popup appearing) whenever you modify the options for them to take effect.

Even though it has a "No Bios" option, you'll sometimes need the bios BIOS files, of course specifying the correct region in the options.

Useful for sprite rippers are the numeral pad keys, which disable layers. Keep in mind this often causes 3D games to crash, and they already have lower compatiblity compatibility than 2D one when it comes to general emulations.
