The Emulation64 Network reports that Emu Loader, the front-end, has been updated to version 4.7.6.2. This is only a bug fix for 4.7.6, which needs to be installed before this. Below are the release notes for this update.

Yet another update. Version 4.7.6.2 fixes a bug when saving custom game options. Another piece of code that got corrupted... I recommend this update to everyone.

The Emulation64 Network reports that Saturnin, the Sega Saturn emulator for Microsoft Windows, isn't dead. Below is the post seen on the official homepage.

Sorry (again) for the lack of updates...

Anyway, I added a bunch of stuff to Saturnin, and I expect to release a new version by the end of the year. Speed is still a problem, but I'll work on it after this release.

 

Be patient !
