And why can’t I find it anywhere? I know it wasn’t very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.

i’ve only used the RAM cart in my US Saturn.

I have at least two carts for it, actually.

One is the 4 MB RAM upgrade, and one is 4 MB RAM plus memory card for saving games.

Then again, I don’t know if a mod chip was required, which I do have installed.

I also have the Japanese Symphony of the Night for the system, as well.

The mod chip required connecting one wire.

Mod chips used to be necessary for playing games on CD-R, but now that can be done with just a 4-in-1 cartridge using the PseudoSaturn hack. My recollection is that Saturn mod chips only defeat the copy protection check and you’d still need another solution (like the 4-in-1 cart) for disabling the region-lock.

To be honest, I haven’t even touched my Saturn in 20 years. So I haven’t been keeping up with any of the tech available for it. I have tried to keep all of it in good condition, in case my kids ever want to play on it or I donate it to a collector or something.

I’ll look up the PseudoSaturn device.

The last few times I’ve played my Saturn games was on an emulator.
