==Versions==
There have been several versions of Yabause released, including a [https://github.com/libretro/yabause currently work-in-progress] [[libretro ]] core. There is also a [[Wii emulators|Wii]] version, linked above; note that this is an unofficial release and support from the Yabause developers cannot be provided for it.
Developer devmiyax has forked Yabause to improve it.<ref>https://github.com/devmiyax/yabause</ref>
A French developer, François, also known as FCare, has forked devmiyax's yabause Yabause fork and called it "Kronos".<ref>[https://github.com/FCare/yabause Kronos branch]</ref><ref>[http://tradu-france.com/forumsmf/index.php?board=9.0 Difference between Kronos and Yaba Sanshiro/Uoyabause/Yabause]. Tradu-France's forum.</ref> It is more active than even the regular yabause Yabause so far as of 2018. Since late June 2018, it also supports the Sega Titan Video arcade system in version 1.30. However, all STV games are launchable on Linux but most games are still problematic on Windows.
Several build types for both devmiyax and FCare's branches are available. Binary releases for Kronos are available at [http://www.emutalk.net/forums/56-Sega-Saturn-Emulation EmuTalk's forum].
Yabause has a very decent rate of compatibility, around 70% of the games run well or perfectly.
Yabause has many advantages over [[Mednafen]]. If you use the OpenGL video driver, games can be rendered in higher resolutions, unlike Mednafen which can only render in the game's native resolution. The UI, despite not being perfect, is also better than Mednafen for very non-experienced users. What matters is compatibility, and Mednafen is far ahead in that regard. Use Mednafen for Sega Saturn emulation unless you can't handle it, but even then [[SSF]] is better for low-end systems, and is mostly just about as accurate.
