Finally, Yaba Sanshiro was released in the Apple App Store! You can play SEGA Saturn games on your iPhone or iPad or Mac. This version only includes basic features to facilitate approval. If there is demand, we will continue to expand it.
Devices equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, including models like the Galaxy S24 and Redmagic 9 Pro, are experiencing crashes when initiating games.

I have heard complaints from many people about the on-screen D-PAD of YabaSanshiro. Indeed, it's terrible. There's no way this flat panel can beat a device designed to be physically easy for humans to operate. However, it's worth the effort to get as close as possible. I have considered why the on-screen D-PAD is terrible, based on the differences with the real Sega Saturn's D-Pad.

I'm developing and testing a new "Auto backup sync" feature.
The key concepts are

Game save data can be restored even if you uninstalled the app
Your data is your won. But since the odd Android 11 feature called scoped storage makes your data lost when you...
I was impressed that the retroid pocket 3+ runs Yabasanshiro at full speed. But I also noticed some features like tessellation do not work, so I tried to implement them for this device. But these issues happened inside of the OpenGL ES driver and seemed hard to fix by me. So I try them on my Vulkan code. Then it's easily fixed. I found that I am in a new era. OpenGL ES is sunsetting. GPU maker will not support OpenGL ES drivers anymore. VDP(SEGA Saturn Video processer) emulation with...
