Some excerpts from the summary:

This version brings the customary set of bug fixes along with a bunch of new features, including support for the Arcade Racer and Mission Stick peripherals (in both three- and six-axis modes), the ability to take raw screenshots, new video options to improve frame pacing in windowed mode and make better use of high refresh rates when synchronizing video, a global exception handler to catch unexpected emulator crashes, and even the debugger got some attention this time - the SH-2 debugger is finally actually useful and has been an invaluable asset to help investigate and troubleshoot many bugs!

This version also brings overall performance improvements by using OS-specific features for manual reset events (used to synchronize the GUI, emulator and VDP renderer threads) as well as improving SH-2 SLEEP instruction handling. The performance uplift varies a lot between games and systems, with some seeing as much as 10% more performance.


Nightly builds are now available here. Keep in mind these are not as thoroughly tested and may contain bugs, but they're very useful for testers who wish to contribute to the evolution of Ymir or users who want to stay on the bleeding edge.

This could be the Duckstation of Sega Saturn emulators.

Hey guys, look at the About in the emulator, Acknowledgements, then scroll down, there's an easter egg

Each time this Sega Saturn emulator is getting slightly better little by little and in the future, it will be a great alternative to Kronos and Yaba Sanshiro.

Or even better than Mednafen.

And that terminal-like frontend too, my friend.

That's my hope. As accurate as Mednafen is, I don't exactly love it.
