{{playable}} Playable The Game works perfect without any noticeable errors.
It works exactly like when you play it on real Sega Saturn Hardware.
{{minorissues}} Minor Issues The Game has some small issues like small flickering, frame drops or glitching graphics.
But the Game itself works fine and you are able to complete the Game successfully without any huge disadvantages for your in-game-progress.
{{majorissues}} Major Issues The Game has several stronger issues like stronger flickering, massive frame drops and not only the graphics are glitching, but the Game itself too.
It works, but it will be a pain for both of your Gaming experience, as probably for your PS4 itself.
{{unplayable}} Unplayable The Game crashes after some in-game-progress (randomly), you can't change Discs when prompted, the screen keeps black or you can't even start the Game at all.
You can't complete the Game successfully to the end even when both the Graphics and Framerates working fine and/or the PS4 will freeze/shutdown by itself.
{{notavailable}} Not Available Only for those Game Titles, which weren't released in certain Regions (for example: Games for the Japanese Market [NTSC-J], which didn't see a "Western Release").
{{officialsega}} Official The Game has been released from Sony available at the PlayStation Store using the "Sega Saturn SSF Emulator" as a base.

Total Games = 94: 42 Games are "Playable" · 19 Games have "Minor Issues" · 16 Games have "Major Issues" · 14 Games are "Unplayable" · 3 Games are "officially emulated by Sony"

? Unplayable ? Got to finish the first Claris level, then out of nowhere during the next level the game randomly crashed to the PS4 error screen. Trying the second Claris level again, the game still crashed at random. Could not complete the first Elliot level either as it also resulted in a random crash. When it was working, the graphics & gameplay had no problems but the stage music played faster than it should.

Pocket Fighter
ポケットファイター
Not Available Not Available Minor Issues The song that plays before the match begins plays fine but gets abruptly cut in the end of it, leaving a moment of awkward silence before the loading screen appears. Thankfully it can be bypassed by pressing the buttons to skip to the loading screen. Other than that hiccup, the rest of the audio & game-play is perfect!

Samurai Spirits: Zankuro Musouken
Samurai Shodown III: Blades of Blood
Not Available Not Available Minor Issues Every time one of the fighters is in the air such as when they jump, the ground becomes invisible & then returns back to normal once they land back on the floor. Annoying to have happen, but the game still works great in spite of that issue! Played with the Saturn 4MB Memory enabled.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
Super Puzzle Fighter II X
? Minor Issues ? Sometimes the announcer's lines don't play, most notably during the start of the round and/or the player's victory/defeat, but it's a very minor hiccup that can be overlooked. Gameplay-wise, it plays great with no problems. Since the NTSC-U version of this game on PS1 has issues as of 2023, this is the best way of playing it on the PS4.

The King of Fighters '96 Not Available Not Available Minor Issues At the start of the match, the announcer's line gets cut off once one of the fighters start talking, but it will still announce normally. Character lines sometimes also get cut off once the announcer declares the victor of the match. Beyond those two hiccups, the rest of the audio & game-play is perfect.

Not Available Not Available Major Issues Music on the character select screen & the victory quote play faster than they should be. No issues with sprites & game-play speed is acceptable, but it suffers from screen tearing on the bottom half. Better off with playing Darkstalkers 3 on the PS1 instead .

X-Men vs. Street Fighter Not Available Not Available Major Issues On the surface it plays better than Marvel vs. Street Fighter with no major slowdowns or missing sprites. However, the bigger issue lies in the audio as it will play the sounds fine at first (with some popping) but it eventually glitches out. No idea what causes it to happen, but it occurs at any given moment in the game. Your mileage may vary with this problem. Requires 4MB Saturn Memory to be enabled.
