SSF

Playing the games of a long gone era on modern day computers may seem simple for some, but when it comes to old console games, things are surely going to look different. For instance, the Sega Saturn video game unit, which was a bit short-lived, still has its trusty fans who may want to try the experience of playing their preferred console games onto their PCs.

In order to be able to relive the action of the favorite titles, the users should get a hold of a specialized software solution that can bring the games in a form suitable for computer use. Generally, for such tasks, console emulators are the answer and in this particular case SSF is one of the tools to look for.

With a very simple interface, this program will enable anyone to access all the commands that control the data input and output. The application will require a bit of tinkering before being able to load and play a game, so it is a good idea to head on to the 'Options' area.

Inside this multi-tabbed area you will have the possibility to configure the peripheral, screen, controller and sound settings. Thus, you can specify the BIOS files to be used and, optionally, the data cartridge, as well as choose the area code, display and audio quality parameters.

The controller options have two separate tabs dedicated to their tweaking, while from the 'EZ Setting' area you will be able to select the preferred type of compatibility. The available profiles range from Low Compatibility (Fast) up to Full Compatibility (Very Slow).

Boasting a quite decent set of features and with loads of configurations available for advanced users to play with, SSF is a capable emulator that still manages to offer Sega Saturn console fans a means of keeping alive the old games onto their computers.
