City Connection’s Cotton Guardian Saturn tribute for the Nintendo Switch may have lag issues, but there is something else it contains: A full-fledge Sega Saturn emulator!

 

GBAtemp user lisareal2301 found this and was able to trick the system into loading a Sega Saturn game running under Cotton Guardian Force, albeit not with perfect emulation.

Here is a compatibility list of titles tested by GBAtemp user Levine 19 on the emulator.

  • Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean (USA) (RE) – Perfect

  • Amok – Perfect

  • Astal (USA) – Perfect

  • Burning Rangers (USA) – Almost Perfect (Minor audio cracks at random times, I was able to complete the tutorial no problem)

  • Bug! (USA) – Perfect

  • Bug Too! (USA) – Perfect

  • Bulk Slash (Japan) – Unplayable (Game hangs on black screen after start screen)

  • Clockwork Knight (USA) – Perfect

  • Clockwork Knight 2 (USA) – Unplayable (Crashes after the main menu)

  • Dark Savior – Perfect

  • Die Hard Arcade (USA) – Perfect

  • Dragon Force (USA) – Perfect

  • Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows Over Mystara (Japan) – Perfect

  • Elevator Action Returns (Japan) – Perfect

  • Guardian Heroes (USA) – Perfect

  • Gungriffon (USA) – Perfect

  • Keio Flying Squadron 2 (Europe) – Perfect

  • Legend of Oasis (USA) – Perfect

  • Linkle Liver Story (Japan) (English Translation) – Perfect

  • Magic Knight Rayearth (USA) – Perfect

  • Metal Slug – Super Vehicle-001 (Japan) (Rev A) – Perfect

  • Mr. Bones (USA) / Mr. Bones (Japan) – Unplayable (Both regions, game hangs on black screen and never proceeds)

  • Night Striker S (Japan) – Perfect

  • NiGHTS into Dreams… (USA) (RE) – Almost Perfect (Often there is a very minor frame drop, but the only reason I even noticed it is due to the audio. Otherwise, you can’t even tell.)

  • Noon (Japan) (Rev A) – Perfect

  • Panzer Dragoon (USA) – Perfect

  • Panzer Dragoon Zwei (USA) – Perfect

  • Panzer Dragoon Saga (USA) (Disc 1) – Almost Perfect (Minor audio cracks at random times, I was able to play on foot & riding on the dragon without issue)

  • Powerslave (USA) – Perfect

  • Radiant Silvergun (Japan) – Perfect

  • Rayman (USA) / Rayman (Japan) – Unplayable (Both regions have an input bug. Both in the main menu & in-game, when you press a directional key (Joystick or D-Pad, both are affected), the game responds to the input VERY rapidly, even with a very light press. It ultimately makes the game unplayable)

  • Sega Ages: Power Drift – Almost Perfect (Minor Graphical issues: vehicle disappears when you’re on/under a bridge)

  • Saturn Bomberman (USA) – Perfect

  • Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru (Japan) – Perfect

  • Sonic 3D Blast (USA) – Perfect

  • Sonic Jam (USA) – Unplayable (Crashes at “Press Start” screen)

  • Sonic R (USA) – Almost Perfect (Minor audio cracks at random times, I was able to finish a race with no issues.)

  • Steamgear Mash (Japan) – Perfect

  • Virtua Fighter 2 (USA) (RE) – Somewhat Playable (The game has a consistent amount of slowdown it seems, I would say it’s in the 40-50fps range if I had to guess)

  • Virtual On: Cyber Troopers (USA) – Perfect? (For some reason the game initially makes you confirm 2 controllers before the start screen. However, you can progress as normal in a single-player after this. No other issues)

  • Willy Wombat (Japan) – Perfect
