Consider the following First of all, give SSF a minute or two before you decide that nothing is happening maybe the game takes a while to boot. Did you setup the BIOS You should most games require it. See if the game youre trying to play even works with SSF check the compatibility list. If this is a Saturn ISO that you downloaded, perhaps its bad. Try this. Ive been told that sometimes bad ISOs can be repaired. Try using CDmages Scan for Corruption feature. Then use Fix Corruption to see if it finds anything. Try downloading the game from another site. Theres a possibility that your game will run with an older version of SSF.
