Saturn Gameshark

[BurningDoom]

As others have mentioned the Gameshark is rough on the Saturns cartridge slot but here's how you play imports with it. Have your import disc in the Saturn and get to the Start game without cheats screen. Hold X,Y,Z and press start.

No such luck. I just tried it on the Japanese edition of Panzer Dragoon and it didn't work.

You might want to try another game, I've heard that the JPN Panzer Dragoon Saga doesn't work with the Action Replay. So, it might be the same for the Game Shark.

I've heard there's some code you can put in to get it to load for the Action Replay though, but no idea if it's true or not.

Try a different game because that's how I used to play them before getting a AR 4-1.

I researched it after reading this post, and it's Panzer Dragoon Saga, the very expensive and rare 3rd entry in the series that is a straight RPG.

I tried the Japanese edition of the original Panzer Dragoon, the on-rails shooter. That didn't work on the Gameshark.

It looks like I have to buy an Action Replay.

It's worth it anyway, if you get one of the ones that will provide extra RAM for Capcom and SNK's later fighting games and also backup your saves.

I still miss the old ARplus 4-in-1 (5-in-1?) with the 25-pin connection on top.
(A fellow GameFAQs member made a 25-pin-to-USB device with software to read the AR data as opposed to hunting for the rare PCI card.)

Yeah the Saturn Game shark DOES allow you to play imports.

You have to hold in XYZ when you load the game with "Start Game Without Enhancements". Otherwise it doesn't work. I just played Street Fighter Zero 2 in my NA Saturn using a Game Shark.

However it won't provide any extra memory. You are better off buying an Action replay which allows you to play imports AND has the extra 1-4 Memory. Most Saturn Imports worth playing (ie Vampire Savior) require the extra memory.

The only reason I got the Game Shark was because it was cheap.

I tried this on my Japanese copy of Panzer Dragoon, no go. What am I doing wrong? PLEASE HELP!
