wiki-<syntax>
	{{playable}}	Playable	The game works perfect, lacking any noticeable errors. It runs in a manner indistinguishable from 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 impactful issues like stronger flickering, massive frame drops, glitching graphics and/or gameplay. Essentially, it works, but it will probably be a pain for both your gaming experience, and your PS4.
	{{unplayable}}	Unplayable	The game crashes after some in-game-progress (randomly). You can't change Discs when prompted, the screen keeps turning black or you can't even start the game at all. You can't complete the game successfully to the end even when both graphics and framerates work 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.

Magic Knight Rayearth 魔法騎士レイアース	Not Available	Minor Issues	?	Played up to the nightmare battles. Some music tracks played faster than they should & there were some split-second minor sprite corruptions of Fuu's character portraits when they changed to reflect her dialogue, but they then went back to normal. Beyond those minor issues, the cutscenes, gameplay, & the rest of the audio work great! Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.

Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter マーヴル・スーパーヒーローズ VS. ストリートファイター	Not Available	Not Available	Major Issues	Suffers from slowdowns even with game speed set to the maximum value.

NiGHTS into Dreams... ナイツ	?	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. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge ヴァンパイア ハンター Darkstalkers' Revenge	?	Playable	?	Works & plays perfectly! Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.

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. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
SEGA Rally Championship	Minor Issues	?	?	As tested by @retropierdolnik [2]
Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island Sonic 3D Blast	?	Unplayable	?	does not work. After the initial cutscene it just freezes to black screen.
Sonic Jam	?	?	?
Sonic R	Playable	?	?
Space Jam	?	Unplayable	?	When the first quarter of the match ended, the game froze. The announcer's lines also didn't play. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams Street Fighter Zero	?	Playable	?	Works & plays perfectly! Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
Street Fighter Alpha 2 Street Fighter Zero 2	?	?	Major Issues	crashes upon a quick save(you can still rewind), forgets saved button configuration. Just play the 30th year anniversary collection. Also known as alpha 2 gold and alpha 2 prime in the us and eu home versions and arcades and also zero 2 alpha in the jp arcades.
Street Fighter Zero 3 Street Fighter Alpha 3	Not Available	Not Available	Minor Issues	Intro audio goes out of sync & some of the music tracks play faster than they should such as the character select screen. However, the rest of the audio & gameplay work great! Requires Saturn 4MB Memory to be enabled. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
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. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.

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.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3	?	Major Issues	Not Available	Sprites for the text, UI, & character portraits in towers are corrupted. You can still choose a fighter & play the game, but it will be difficult to know who your next opponent is & navigating the menu if you desire to change the configurations. Sprites for the stages & health bars are thankfully not butchered, but this isn't an ideal way of playing MK3. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.

Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire ヴァンパイア セイヴァー The Lord of Vampire	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 . Requires 4MB Saturn Memory to be enabled. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
Virtua Fighter バーチャファイター	?	Major Issues	?	Gameplay suffers from slower speed & had many occurrences of ring outs happen by one of the fighters being teleported away. Not sure what causes it to happen. Audio & music played fine. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
Virtua Fighter 2 バーチャファイター2	?	Minor Issues	?	Unlike the original Virtua Fighter & Virtua Fighter Remix, gameplay didn't suffer from slower speed. However, there is no audio for the fighters during the match or sound effects for the punches & kicks. Music played fine. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
Virtua Fighter Kids バーチャファイター キッズ	?	Major Issues	?	Gameplay suffers from slowdowns that also affected the music tracks. Rest of the audio played fine. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
Virtua Fighter Remix バーチャファイターリミックス	?	Major Issues	?	Gameplay suffers from slower speed & had many occurrences of ring outs happen by one of the fighters being teleported away.

X-Men: Children of the Atom エックス・メン チルドレン オブ ジ アトム	?	Playable	?	Works & plays perfectly! Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
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. Converted with Saturn2PS4 v1.1 by Markus95 & tested on the Original PS4 FW 9.00.
