Fenrir FAQ

Is Fenrir compatible with Action Replay / Pseudo Kai / Memory Card / RAM Expansion 1MB / RAM Expansion 4MB / Video Card?

Fenrir is compatible with all expansion cartridges and the MPEG Video card!
For Pseudo Kai carts, you can either flash them as standard Action Replay cards in order for them to work without issues, or use the JHL loader.

Is Fenrir 100% compatible with the Redump set?

As you can understand, it is impossible for us to test each game to completion.
It is planned to make Fenrir 100% compatible with the Redump set, but we also want to be honest with you and while there are only a handful of games that have trouble with Fenrir, we won’t declare Fenrir 100% compatible until it truly is tested by the community.
If you do come up to a point in a game where Fenrir causes the game to crash, please do let us know!

Does Fenrir support multi-disc games?

Fenrir does support multi-disc games, but is unable to switch discs in-game at the moment. Therefore, games that ask you to save before switching discs, will work fine, as you can save your game, power-cycle the console and load the next disc, then load your saved game and continue. Most Saturn multi-disc games worked like this. However, there are a few games that require in-game disc switching. These games are not supported yet, but we are actively working on adding support for those, too.

Can Fenrir play games from all regions?

Yes! Fenrir can load games from any region, without the need of setting anything. Just select your game and launch it! Fenrir auto-patches the game’s region to work on your console’s region

Does Fenrir work on Saturns from US / EU / JAPAN / Other regions

Yes! Fenrir works on Saturn’s from any region, or Saturn’s modified with a region-free bios, (switchless) region-free mods and 50/60Hz mods.

If you have a region switch, you can set the console’s region to the one you prefer, but you need to also set Fenrir to the same region in its settings. Fenrir’s setting needs to always match your console’s region, but you only need to do this once, or whenever you manually change your console’s region.

If you have a 50/60Hz mod (highly recommended) you should set the speed to the appropriate speed needed by the game. i.e. PAL games need 50Hz, while NTSC games need 60Hz.

Can Fenrir automatically switch the console’s speed? (50/60Hz)

No, you will need a separate mod for this.

What are the image types supported by Fenrir?

Fenrir supports the following image types: Single ISO, CUE/ISO, CUE/BIN (Single), CUE/BIN (Multiple), CCD/IMG

What is the biggest card I can use? How many games can I fit in the card?

Fenrir supports any size card, as long as it’s formatted as FAT32 with an MBR partition scheme.
There is currently a hard limit of 300 folders in each card, which makes a 256GB card the sweet spot if you want to fit as many games as possible.

We have tested SanDisk and Samsung microSD cards without issues, but all microSD cards should work.
If you do find a particular brand that doesn’t, please let us know!
