Last month I ported libretro-kronos to FreeBSD, which although on the surfa=
ce
appears to be yet another Sega Saturn emulator, it has some value since it =
also
emulates the elusive Sega Titan Video platform.

I tried Cotton II and Cotton Boomerang, which run slowly, but as far as I c=
an
tell, rather accurately.  This port is capable of running both the Saturn a=
nd
ST-V versions of the games.

It is worth noting that anther productive port maintainer also ported
Mednafen's Beetle Saturn libretro core, which is the fastest and most accur=
ate
Sega Saturn emulator in my experience, although it is Sega Saturn only:

(The only other emulator to cover the ST-V platform is the current core of
libretro-mame, which I have also ported to FreeBSD, and is coming shortly.=

There are tradeoffs in that emulator as well, which predominantly has value=
 in
that it supports the full compatibility of current MAME versions to retroar=
ch,
but this port is the best ST-V emulator when other factors are considered).
