A world worth returning to
Compatibility varies by game. erings is actively evolving.
A few things to know
What do I need to play?
Your own Saturn game images in CHD or CUE/BIN format. For CUE images, the tracks must use the .bin extension.
Do I need a Saturn BIOS?
No. erings includes an HLE BIOS. You can also use your own USA or Japan Saturn BIOS image. A real BIOS is not included.
Why is erings using the wrong graphics card on Windows 11?
On Windows 11 PCs with more than one graphics card (GPU), Windows may choose a different GPU than the one you want erings to use. Set a GPU preference for erings to choose it yourself:
- Open Settings and go to Graphics.
- If erings is not already listed, click Add desktop app, navigate to where you installed erings and add the .exe.
- Click erings in the app list to expand its settings. In the GPU preference dropdown, change Let Windows decide to the graphics card you want to use.
- Close and restart erings for the change to take effect.
What’s the difference between FPS and GFPS?
Press ~ to show or hide these counters. FPS measures how fast the emulator is running. Full speed is 60 FPS for NTSC or 50 FPS for PAL. GFPS measures how often the game updates its framebuffer (the image shown on screen). Not all games update every frame. For example, some take two frames per update, giving 30 GFPS at 60 FPS.
Why is GFPS low or even zero?
Games update the screen at their own pace, so lower GFPS doesn’t necessarily mean the emulator is slowing down. A static loading screen can show 0 GFPS because the game has no new image to draw. Check FPS to see whether emulation is still running at full speed.
Where can I report a problem?
