I'm a fan of yabasanshiro Saturn emulator. However, this version has 2 annoying limitations which were not present in previous versions : - unable to detect a controller . - requires roms to be present in one very specific directory . Both limitations make it a no go for me. I'm not sure why this new pro version is more limited than the old free version. I hope it will be fixed in a future update.

Used to be great but now nothing works at all, every single game you load you either get the game audio and a black screen or just a black screen, so annoying! Please fix ASAP!

This emulator worked perfectly. It even read my external and installed all of my games, but since the update, it will not read my external, and it only scans 5 games. My external do not even show on this version. I'm wondering what is going on with this version, especially after paying for it. Because my devices do not have enough memory to put all of my games directly on the system. Not throwing mud but something needs to be fixed.

Everytime it says 'ERROR! cannot initialize internalbackup' whenever i try to start any games. *Update* The developer fixed the problem very quickly. Thank you!

Could be better. Some games don't even run. Guardian heroes freezes after stage 1. None of the games have soundtrack working..

It works pretty well on my rg406v, but some games refuse to run. What is odd to me is they run on the arc s. Near as I can see that is running an older yaba sanshiro. Not sure what's up.

Only gripe plays games at stupid fps can't you add a option to lower the fps ive gone back to using retro arch beetle core because most games are just unplayable with the crazy fps speed which You can't adjust

I paid $6 for this and it can't even download a single game. It simply goes through a loading period where it says "extracting" and then nothing happens. I tried every single game I want to play. Save your money and get a different emu. For a paid app to have 0 functionality is obscene. App makers need to stop making unusable garbage and holding theirs hands out for money like a beggar as if they deserve it
