Comments on Saturn.emu (Saturn Emulator) for Android

★★★★★ Kristopher Ayers · Mar 3, 2024

Tested several games with Hi Saturn Bios file. Everything works as it should. Has some features Yaba Sanshiro 2 Pro does not and is missing others it does. It also requires significantly more power than YS2. Which is better depends on use case plus preference. I personally play all my Saturn games on physical hardware, but I love .emu emulators, and this was fun to play around with away from home.

★★★★★ Yosef Gray Fox · Mar 11, 2024

Amazing emulator first time somebody made a good sega saturn emulator. This one is the best of the best runs beautiful good work Mr Robert Borgia

★★★★★ Andrew Rollason · Jun 10, 2024

After using Yaba Sanshiro this emulator is like a breath of fresh air. Performance is almost flawless, can stutter from time to time but nowhere near as intrusive as Yaba can be.

★☆☆☆☆ Sarah Beth · Jun 23, 2024

Doesn't work properly it won't load any of the rom files when other apps load the same files just fine

★★☆☆☆ Ed Onslow · Aug 25, 2025

Fantastic emulator in terms of accuracy and performance that would be a 5 with some user guidance, support for analogue control, and custom button mapping (the button mapping in the menus have no effect), which are all basics.

★☆☆☆☆ Agony P · Jan 5, 2026

This emulation is outdated. There's a game breaking bug in Uru Passage on disc 2 in Panzer Dragoon Saga because of this outdated app. I had to start over the game from beginning using RetroArch emulation complete this game.

★☆☆☆☆ Garry North · Nov 13, 2024

Doesn't work with any of my games or bios, which all work on every other saturn emulator.

★★☆☆☆ Blewish Jewlatto · Feb 18, 2024

The games play very choppy and laggy, I love your emulators though. Hopefully this one will get some nice performance updates.
