Developer devmiyax has forked Yabause to improve it.<ref>https://github.com/devmiyax/yabause</ref>

==High effort==
A French developer, François, also known as FCare, has forked devmiyax's 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 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.

The source article may either contain updated information beyond what we've copied, causing us to stagnate and provide potentially incorrect information, or showcase a subject in a manner that may stray from its relevance in emulation. The best way to deal with these articles is to rewrite them, but in their current form they require a high degree of knowledge in their fields in order to break them down for readers.
  
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. However, Mednafen is far ahead in terms of compatibility. Use Mednafen or [[SSF]] for any games that have issues on Yabause.

Getinvolved.png

If you're interested in helping out the Emulation General wiki but don't know where to start, here are some things we'd appreciate help with.

Low effort

Moderate effort

  • WIP articles – These are new articles that are not yet ready for the main page and need to be improved.
  • Outdated articles – These articles contain information that might no longer be accurate and need to be updated.
  • Articles stubs – These articles are stubs and need to be expanded with more information.
  • Update/create new emulator pages - Copy the template below, add {{WIP}} if you need help or intend to finish the page later, add {{stub}} if everything is finished but it should be longer.

High effort

Wikipedia copies
These are articles we took from Wikipedia. The source article may either contain updated information beyond what we've copied, causing us to stagnate and provide potentially incorrect information, or showcase a subject in a manner that may stray from its relevance in emulation. The best way to deal with these articles is to rewrite them, but in their current form they require a high degree of knowledge in their fields in order to break them down for readers.

Emulator page template

Here's our current layout for an emulator page. Copy-paste this if you are creating a new emulator page or use it if a page needs updating. If you need an example, you can check out our Infobox emulator template page.

{{Infobox emulator
|title         = 
|logo          = 
|logowidth     = 
|developer     = 
|version       = 
|active        = 
|platform      = 
|architecture  = 
|target        = 
|compatibility = 
|accuracy      = 
|website       = 
|prog-lang     = 
|support       = 
|license       = 
|source        = 
}}
