About Kronos

Kronos is an emulator for the Sega Saturn console and the ST-V arcade board, which is based on Saturn hardware. It is a fork of Yabause and continues development of that codebase.

The project is built with CMake and produces a Qt desktop version. Windows and Linux are the platforms the developers build on. It suits players who want to run Saturn and ST-V games on a desktop computer and are comfortable with a project whose documentation lives mainly in its repository.

Strengths

  • Emulates both the Saturn console and ST-V arcade hardware
  • Builds on the long-running Yabause codebase
  • Qt desktop interface

Limitations

  • Documentation is mostly build instructions in the repository
  • Licence is not stated in the fetched page
