Re: Help Me Identify These Saturn Ram Carts/Memory Carts
For anyone interested, I have added pics of the PCBs to the album that is linked in the first post.
Re: Help Me Identify These Saturn Ram Carts/Memory Carts
I bought these off of Mwars.
https://picasaweb.google.com/dsanford.h ... rnRamCarts#
The only one that is sorta seen is the white one with the girls (the saturn tries to clear the card but it then say "NOT CLEARED!" when i clear the internal memory it say "CLEARED!".)
I have carts that do work so I know my slot isn't bad.
Usually Action Replays boot up like games but none of these do.
The Black one doesn't work with Vampire Savior (either switch setting). I'm going to try some 1mb games.
any ideas? cleaning?

I know some of the older Action Replays don't work with Vampire Savior either unless they're modded. Later AR revisions that came out a little after the game (I think) worked fine. Perhaps the black cart has the same issue as older AR cards.vlame wrote: The Black one doesn't work with Vampire Savior (either switch setting). I'm going to try some 1mb games.

Re: Help Me Identify These Saturn Ram Carts/Memory Carts
i got 2 working and 3 dont do crap. the white one that says ram cart is an AR/1mb card. the girls i got to work too (memory card that can be seen in-game).
@Hobie-wan shouldn't any 4mb cart work with the last few 4mb ram games BUT with sound/gfx glitches?

Re: Help Me Identify These Saturn Ram Carts/Memory Carts
I know there's at least 1 fighting game that has its own memory cart that actually contains some of the game information, but I don't remember which it is. My RAM cart knowledge is very lacking. I know knew the Vampire Savior bit as I just picked that game up myself. I don't think any of my other Saturn games use expanded RAM.vlame wrote:i got 2 working and 3 dont do crap. the white one that says ram cart is an AR/1mb card. the girls i got to work too (memory card that can be seen in-game).

I noticed the Memory Card Plus wasn't listed on that original Saturn card guide, was it just forgotten or so bad people pretend they don't exist?

There are at least a couple dozen games that use RAM expansion carts. There are lists online. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's one on these forums somewhere.]My RAM cart knowledge is very lacking.
