I got my pro action replay today. It is sweet. Now I can play that import of Gale Racer I own. Decent port.

Found this one today:

Some good stuff here; most of the videos are on Google Video, too - much easier that way.

You NEED a memory cart, a first party one as the theird party ones are crap and ruin your system. They can attract daff prices, but you can luck out and find one for a few bucks like me. A 3D pad is strongly recommended for games like Nights. They are VERY abundent as sega produced way to many of them. Some of the RPG's are expensive, but you can luck out. I got Dark Savior and Legend of Oasis for peanuts.

Is dark savior expensive? I just got it complete for like 50 cents.

I'm not interested in importing or modding the saturn to play the imports... at least not for a long time. I'm content just to have one.

So is the backup RAM cart really needed? Just got a saturn and only have a few games... what's wrong with the internal save feature?

If the concern is the battery, yes mine is dead, but I have a new one on the way in the mail with an S-Video cable. :D

Now to find NiGHTS and an analog controller for cheap -- local game trader wants $20 for just about any Saturn game.:daze:

Size, in this case, matters - in most cases you will fit about three, maybe four game saves onto the Saturn's internal memory before you run out.

Elusive, I've gotta ask - what's up with the Devil Dumplings?

If you're playing nothing but high-memory RPGs, sure. Otherwise, most games only take 2-6 blocks of memory, leaving you with room for dozens of titles. I think I had 30-something game saves on my Saturn before grabbing the official memory cartridge (which can crap out on you... it happened to me :( ). SimCity 2000 owned my memory cartridge since it took up the entire internal save memory for a city. Also, with the memory cartridge you can enjoy ghost files from Daytona USA CCE and Sega Rally, which both take something ridiculous like 966 blocks or so a piece.

It's from the 'Beer' episode of Blackadder 2.

Hyper-Protestant Lady Whiteadder: "Edmund - you appear to be wearing a pair of devil's dumplings!"
Edmund Blackadder, wearing gigantic comedy breasts: "?? - (double-take) - oh, my earmuffs have fallen down... (puts breasts over ears) Do you want a pair, it's rather cold, don't you think?"
H-P LW: "No, thank you! Cold is God's way of telling us to burn more Catholics!"

Classic comedy - like John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson's at his funniest when he's playing a complete bastard :)

I might get one, just for all the RPgs and Nights Into Dreams.

I get my Saturn stuff from Play-Asia, a very trusted source indeed, you should be able to get what you want and need from there. They are also friendly and will answer any questions that you have. The prices are not too bad neither, some are actually well priced. Check them out.

There is not many Saturn fan-sites around anymore, there was:

sega-saturn.com and you can view it the way it was via the internet archive

But I do not know of a good Saturn fan-site that is still around.

Finally, a mirror of the one-and-only Sega Saturn page! Danke, Psy - I'd been looking for that.

the re-released collection set with KoF '95 is the same as the original release you still need the rom (ram) cart to play it

ROM.

You can try all of the RAM carts in the world and it won't work.

It was my understanding that The King of Fighters Best Collection only uses the 1MB RAM cart, because it only came with one cartridge. However, I've asked around just now and it appears I was wrong; Best Collection indeed only came with one cart, but that cart is the '95 ROM cart and the 1MB RAM cart (required for '96 and '97) is simply not included.
