Hey everyone,

For anyone interested in Sega Saturn emulation using an 64-bit ubuntu system thats not interested in building it from source, I have made a package. You can get it here;
http://www.myfootinyourass.com/Ubuntu/64/

This .DEB was built on a dual-core machine, and judging by the stuff that scrolled by when I configured it, it showed the system type as SMP. SO, this may only work on SMP machines? If anyone has a single-core athlon 64, let me know if this works out for you. Likewise, anyone who installs this package let me know how this works out.

If there is a need out there, I will start making these packages available as yabause updates. Also, once I get my PIII machine set up (I just moved) I will start building 32-bit packages as well.

PLEASE support this emulator. Sega Saturn emulators have always been very far behind. This is our best chance to get a fully compatible Saturn emulator in Linux. It's not quite thre yet, but its getting there.

Thanks a lot for the package! It will definitely come in handy ;)

I currently have Yabause installed on my 32 bit PC, and it's great to see others supporting it. Clearly the Saturn's crazy architecture is causing many some headaches, but hopefully Yabause will get there one day. I'm really missing NiGHTS and Virtua Fighter 2, not to mention Exhumed and many others.

Extreme Coder; did this package work for you? I am interested in knowing because of my build environment. If noe, let me know what you encountered so that I can fix it.
And... you welcome.

BigSilly; I am really missing Sega Rally Champoinship. Ofcourse I have a real saturn and a real copy of it, but I am dying to play it in high-res with some effects!

Hm.. I tried it with a game of mine, it worked pretty well and fast.

Thanks again!

Great! It's funny, I haven't even been able to try it yet. All of my Saturn games are still boxed up from my recent move...
