[opticledilusi0n]

Are you talking about Saturns games or emulation?

[gtmtnbiker]

For the Saturn, all of the games are CD based. I don't know of any games on cartridge.

[opticledilusi0n]

i'm aware saturn uses cd's

but there is this cartridge port at the top of the system

and some games require that there be something inserted there (such as KOF)

You're thinking of a RAM cart (video ram cart). There's also a save-game cart.

You can also use Action Replay 4-1 cart which gives you both of the functionalities.

[MrPopo]

The cart slot is used for a couple of things.

1. Game saves
2. Extra RAM akin to the N64 expansion pack
3. Action Replay/other cheat devices

I don't think the Saturn is structured in such a way as to allow the execution of game code from something inserted in the cart slot.

KOF '95 uses a ROM (instead of a RAM) cart.

I'm a big Saturn buff and I think I've searched for everything accessory related. I've never seen or heard of anything like that. I don't think the Saturn cartridge port is wired to play CD images.

1994

sega execs:
"hey guys, don't want to be a bother, but... we just saw the prototype for sony's new playstaton. i'm gonna need you to toss everything out and start over from scratch. so.. go ahead and design the best 3d platform the world has ever see."




engineers: "bu bu bu bu bu but.."




1995

engineers:
"okay, we're ready for launch! (not)"




sega exec:
"oh hey, we just saw the prototype for nintendo's new n64, and its cartridge based. so i'm going to need you to come in on saturday and shove that in there as well, along with our 32x style ram add-on. mm 'kay?"

oh geez dudes

i'm looking for like a programmable cart (think like gba flash cart)

but for saturn

so I can put the ROM stuff from like KOF, or other games that require the ROM cart to work

without actually paying for the game + rom carts

that's all

so i don't want to execute games from it

i want to use it as a programmable rom cart ... so i can flash the ROMS for the games that require them..

get it ?
