libretro-kronosSega Saturn and ST-V emulator forked from uoYabause for libretro
2.1.5.20210601_1emulatorsΣ=0 2.1.5.20210601_1Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch.upstream: 2.7.0_official_releaseA newer version was found upstream by portscout, first on 2026-06-20.
For Sega Saturn, it is mandatory to install a supported Sega Saturn bios files
(such as saturn_bios.bin) in ~/.config/retroarch/system or
~/.config/retroarch/system/kronos.
Kronos is broadly compatible with all major Saturn BIOSes regardless of region,
although unlike Yabause, a BIOS dump is required. Due to the aforementioned
BIOS compatibility, the BIOS guide for the beetle-saturn libretro core may be
helpful:
https://docs.libretro.com/library/beetle_saturn/
For ST-V, it is necessary to add a compatible stvbios.zip either in
~/.config/retroarch/system/kronos or in ~/.config/retroarch/system/. In
contrast to MAME, Kronos will never search for this bios file in the local path
of the game.
If the emulator gets stuck on the BIOS screen, the screen remains blank, or
shows audio track navigation controls, then the BIOS is likely incompatible.
At present, Kronos is only compatible with a subset of the stvbios.zip files
used by modern MAME versions. If the stvbios.zip is not present in the proper
place, but one of the proper Sega Saturn BIOSes is instead available, it will
try to default to one of those, and in the most optimistic case, merely reach
the audio CD track navigation controls, but it will not work, since it is not
the same hardware.
If in doubt, running retroarch with the -v argument may help to acquire more
diagnostic information.
emulators/libretro-kronos: fix build on powerpc64
Pull upstream commit 6bae2843e083 ("Fix big endian - close #1414"): the
big-endian layout of the SCSP DSP instruction union was missing the
shift0/shift1 bitfields that scspdsp.c uses.
Mk/Uses: always use colon for build/run suffix
Most USES use a colon for build/run(/test) suffixes. Change kde.mk,
qt.mk and pyqt.mk to do the same, and update all ports using that.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
