;[[Mednafen]]
: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 very demanding, having recommendations to use a quad-core Intel Haswell CPU with a base frequency of >= 3.3GHz and a turbo frequency of >= 3.7GHz (e.g. Xeon E3-1226 v3 or i5-4590)<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. Version 1.31.0 added experimental support for 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.

==Accessories==
===NetLink===
Sometimes called "[[XBAND]]" and is a modem for Sega Saturn. Possibly can be emulated by YabaSanshiro.
===Video CD Card===
Also called the '''Movie Card''' in Japan - allows Saturn to play Video CDs (VCDs) and hardware playback of MPEG-1 (version 1) video in certain games, leading to higher quality FMV for use in cutscenes (and occasionally, gameplay). It is not known what emulators support this accessory.
