Ymir is a work-in-progress Sega Saturn emulator written in modern C++ with an ImGui-based interface. It runs Saturn games from common disc image formats on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and includes a built-in debugger.
Use cases
- play Sega Saturn games on my PC
- emulate the Sega Saturn on Linux
- run Saturn disc images like CHD or BIN+CUE
- debug Saturn homebrew development
- play Saturn games on macOS
- use a modern open-source Saturn emulator
When to choose
- you want to play Saturn games on Windows, Linux, or macOS with a modern actively developed emulator
- you need support for common disc image formats and automatic BIOS/region detection
- you want a built-in debugger for Saturn development or research
When to avoid
- you need a fully mature emulator with near-perfect compatibility for your entire Saturn library
- you want to emulate consoles other than the Sega Saturn
- you require low-end hardware support, as accurate Saturn emulation is demanding
