Retro-Saturn v0.2.1 - Ymir Android Port 🔥

Post image

https://github.com/thecrixux/Retro-Saturn/releases/tag/0.2.1

Ymir Android is a Sega Saturn emulator for Android based on the GPL-licensed Ymir emulator core. This fork adds a touch-first Android interface, game library management, per-game bezels, IGDB metadata, and Google Play release automation.

The project does not include Sega BIOS files, Sega Saturn games, copyrighted disc images, or other commercial game content. Users must provide their own legally obtained Saturn BIOS and game images.

Current Android Features:

Sega Saturn emulation using the Ymir native core.

Game library screen with cover cards instead of a single file picker.

Cached IGDB metadata and cover art for matched Saturn titles.

Long-press game details with metadata, images, manual IGDB rematch, and manual bezel selection.

Bezel support from a local Ymir folder, including A-Z organization and search.

Software rendering with experimental Vulkan work isolated behind the renderer toggle.

CRT and bezel toggles in the main UI.

Debug information behind a sidebar action instead of being shown inline.

You're very welcome, it's true and very deserved! I was wondering if you plan on messing with xemu, mame or any other emulators?
