Saturn bomberman SEGA EMULATION SO MUCH TROUBLE

R

None of emulators work. I hope to use SSF or cassini. It's stuck on sega licening logo when I set the area code to EUR, when I set it to japan, it loads the music screen.

Except yabause 0.9.10 but extremely laggy and crashes whenever I click the input tab in the settings.
I've tried,
Cassini <- Same as girigiri problem
SFF (v.10, v.11, v.12) <--- Black screen, detects rom, nothing loads
Girigiri <- Stuck with "Sega LIcensing logo"

Saturnin <--- Music player, but no music.
Satourne <--- plays music
Yabause <--- Runs the game, laggy, no controls. crashes upon clicking input tab

And yes with all the general questions:

BIO = YES , I tried putting it in the same directory, tried different bios,
Setting BIO to Area code = Yes, for everyone
" to country = Yes
Setting The controls = Yes, except for yabause
System requirements? = P4 , 3.2GHZ , 2GB Ram
Directx9.0 = Most updated

what other question is there?
Rom corrupted? = NO, it works with yabause,
Rom Format = Bin/Cue, I fixed the cue file and it works at mounting
CD IMAGING? = Daemon, successfully mounted

Spent 2 days 48 hrs on figuring this out. I really want to play Saturn Bomberman again because it brings alot of memories back.

Can someone upload their working emulator for saturn bomberman so I can play? or working rom 4 sure.

Don't even look at Cassini. Ever. Same with Girigiri and Satournin.

If you want the best Saturn emulator, use SSF. If that doesn't play a certain game even after choosing the best possible emulation settings, don't bother with said game. That said, what emulation settings are enabled in SSF's settings? I think the problem lies in the wrong emulation settings, since quite a few games do not run or run poorly if certain specifics aren't set.

Then again, one of the reasons Bomberman does not boot in SSF is because SSF does not emulate Saturn's Netlink properly or at all -- a feature which Bomberman requires. In any case, I don't know what the current situation is with SSF (whether or not Netlink has been partially or fully emulated), so let's see your settings.

P.S. It's BIOS, singular.

Saturn BioS (U).bin
Cartridge 4MBytes Ram
Area Code, America, Canada Brazil.



I've searched SSF's game list and someone mentioned that Saturn Bomberman isn't compatible with SSF. I REALLY want to play, it was part of my childhood.

EDIT: Ok, i redownloaded a md5 rom, and got to the sega logo trademark (the one after the flashy one) and SSF Crashed.

Here with PAL Bios and PAL saturn bomberman, it works quite well.
Latest SSF beta (0.12 r3) ans "highest compatibility" settings. The video doesn't even stutter.
