This app converts your Sega Saturn games into PS4 fPKGs.
-
How to use it:- Run SATURN-FPKG.exe
- Select a CUE file of your Saturn game in "Disc"
- Customize some settings(you can change the icon, ram cartridge, game title, some screen settings, borders etc)
- Make sure the auto-generated npTitle is unique(so the pkg doesn't overwrite another game, but thats unlikely now)
- If you want the game to work on firmwares lower than 9.00, make sure you check the "FW 5.05 Backport" checkbox
- Click "Create fPKG" and choose a storage location
- Install the created fPKG on your PS4 and play
-
Notes:
- The emulator now works on Firmware 5.05 and up, make sure you use the latest GoldHen payload on firmwares lower than 9.00 for it to work!
- ISOs are probably not supported by the emulator and won't work(use proper CUE/BIN game images!)
- A uniqe npTitle based on the game product id will be now automatically selected
- You can righ-click on a text box to reset it's value
- You can select which RAM cartridge should be used for a game(eg Street Fighter Zero 3 uses the 4MB cart for better animations) but most games should run fine on the default setting
- You can hide the in-game "Press Options for Options" box by checking the "Hide Options Box" checkbox.
- When playing a game press the touchpad or hold the Options button for a settings menu, you can change some display options and button configs there, you can also quick save/load/rewind the game there.
- The emulator now works on Firmware 5.05 and up, make sure you use the latest GoldHen payload on firmwares lower than 9.00 for it to work!
