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
