SATURN-FPKG is a ROM injection utility that can convert Sega Saturn ROMs (.bin/.cue) to PS4 fpkgs.

User guide

How to use

• Run SATURN-FPKG.exe.
• Click "Disc" and select your Saturn game's .cue file.
• Customize the settings (game title, icon, ram cartridge, screen settings, borders, etc).
• Make sure the auto-generated npTitle is unique (to prevents PKG conflicts).
• On Firmwares that are lower than 9.00, check the "FW 5.05 Backport" checkbox.
• Click "Create fPKG" and select an output folder.

Notes

• The emulator now works on Firmware 5.05 and up, make sure you use the latest GoldHen payload on Firmwares lower than 9.00 for it to work.
• ISOs are probably not supported by the emulator and won't work (use proper CUE/BIN game images),
• A unique npTitle based on the game product id will be now automatically selected.
• You can right-click on a text box to reset it's value.
• You can select which RAM cartridge should be used for a game(eg Street Fighter Zero 3 uses the 4MB cart for better animations) but most games should run fine on the default setting.
• You can hide the in-game "Press Options for Options" box by checking the "Hide Options Box" checkbox.
• When playing a game press the touchpad or hold the Options button for a settings menu, you can change some display options and button configs there, you can also quick save/load/rewind the game there.
