Need help setting up Kronos Saturn Emulator

[starseeker300]

Ive been trying to figure it out but am completely clueless on this specific one, anyone know any good step by step guides for it

The standalone one? Well there's a tutorial by my favorite channel Just Jamie here (the video is disabled but you can watch it on YouTube)

If you're looking for something else, then check here. Hope it helps

If you don't mind using a different Saturn stand alone emulator, here's a Bizhawk guide.

Im still having issue, i get an error message everytime i try to save my game, not make save states, like actual saves and it does not save and the error message pops up.

the message says "Error writing file: C:/Users/(myrealname)/AppData/Local/kronos/bkram.bin"

nevermind, figured it out. turns out it was trying to write to a folder that didnt exist so i just created that folder in the directory and just let the emulator create the save file on its own.

i still have to do some optimization it runs at a preety choppy rate with audio glitches

I see, I'm glad that you figured it out. Btw, Saturn emulation isn't perfect so it'd still ran some games quite slow with those glitches

I'm not sure, I can't see any noticeable difference other than what they say about the better refresh rate. Some might say NTSC, some might say PAL

I think you should try the other version just in case

For what it's worth, if you have the hardware there's a pc version of nights into dreams that is overall a better functioning version of the saturn game ( i believe the pc version also includes christmas nights as a unlockable).
