This tutorial is to help you with Mednafen for Windows. By itself, Mednafen doesn't have a user interface. In order to enjoy a more traditional and much easier emulation experience with Mednafen, you need a front-end user interface. What makes Mednafen particularly awesome is its support for ISO files.
Thankfully, Mednafen is here to fly in and save the day. With all the emulator offerings as of , should you use Mednafen? Well, it depends. RetroArch is the superior multi-system emulator when it comes to being user-friendly. It also offers more systems, more features, and a user interface.
BizHawk , another multi-system emulator, has been rising in popularity as well. It's a high-quality, reputable emulator! But yet, what sucks is that it lacks a user interface. The front-end needs to be set up separately which I explain in this tutorial. Due to these extra steps and lack of usability, I don't always recommend Mednafen. It's more for advanced emulation users. Mednafen is a command line driven program.
You'd need to know DOS commands to work your way around it. Given that very few people know DOS, front-end user interfaces have been made for us so that we can use Mednafen with a graphical interface. The front-end that I have chosen to include in my site's download of Mednafen is Mednaffe. I think it's the easiest to use out of all the other Mednafen front-ends out there. I think Mednaffe is more user friendly and ideal for beginners.
MedGui is still worth checking out, though. It's awesome if you're a more experienced emulation user looking for better ROM management and extra features.
When you go to download Mednafen, the first thing you're going to see is two versions: bit and bit. So what is that and which version do you download? I won't drown you with technical jargon. In short: these are types of Windows systems. If you have bit Windows, you need to download the bit version of Mednafen. And vice versa with bit. They stopped making bit computers around , so chances are you're most likely using a bit computer.
If you're not sure if you have bit or bit Windows, here's how you can check:. Using Windows XP? Here are directions for that. Mednafen is a standalone program so it does not have an install wizard. Installation is simple: just extract Mednafen from its zip file.
Not sure how to extract zip files? Here's a video tutorial showing you how: how to unzip files on Windows. Don't forget that this Mednafen tutorial is based on using the Mednaffe front-end. Once you download it, simply extract it into Mednafen's folder. When all is done, Mednafen's folder should look like this. Mednafen must be placed in a common folder on your computer. I recommend Documents , Downloads , or create a folder on your desktop. If you place Mednafen somewhere else on your main C drive, then you may be restricting it to read-only access.
Doing so prevents Mednafen from saving anything. To open Mednafen or rather, the Mednaffe front-end , double-click on. There are better emulators for them. Mednaffe gives you the option to load all the folders that contain your ROMs. Here's how to load your folders:. Thread: Mednafen Saturn won't start. Results 1 to 8 of 8. Mednafen Saturn won't start.

This special Windows 98 build will not be provided for every release, and may be discontinued entirely if it becomes too much of a pain. Notable changes since 1. Using this support with OpenGL can be done by setting the video. Rewrote the save state preview image resizing code, such that it no longer makes Saturn mesh transparency look horrendous. Dropped usage of and dependency on libsndfile, and added a direct dependency on libFLAC.
Each Mednafen data directory created on startup will now be based on the current value of the corresponding filesys.
