Best stock upgrade for the Sega Saturn, but be aware!

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

Recently bought myself an old Sega Saturn to relive my childhood. I never had an opportunity to get any of the memory card upgrades when I was younger, so I thought I'd take the plunge and get this.

This particular product has been around for a long time (the copyright on the software is 1996). It has cheat codes for most games up to about 1997, but it lets you enter your own if you want (and you can even delete the built-in codes if you need more space). It bypasses the region locking on the console so you can play import games. It has 4M of backup ROM to complement the system's built-in stoarge, though the console can't read from it directly; you have to move your game saves to/from system memory in the card's menu which the console automatically boots to if you have it inserted. It also provides either 1M or 4M of additional RAM for those games that require it; the cartridge software is smart enough to automatically detect the needed amount when the game starts up (unlike other RAM carts that had a physical switch you had to set before starting).

The stock cartridge won't let you play backup copies of games (that is, games burned to CD-R). However, there is a firmware called "Psuedo Saturn Kai" that you can flash to this cart, which adds that ability. There are some ready-made (and more expensive) variants of this cart that come with that pre-flashed, but you also have the option of doing it yourself with this "official" version, assuming you can get the Saturn to load the flashing software CD the first time.

A word of caution about the hardware in general; the Sega Saturn cartridge slot and after-market cartridges like this can be very finicky. The hardware is 20+ years old, and the cartridge slot itself was known for being delicate even back in its hey-day. When I first plugged mine in, the console got stuck in a boot loop. After trying various techniques to seating the cartridge, I was able to get it to load once and launch a game, but it then failed while the game was going through the intro/title screen. This told me that the cartridge itself was fine, and it was probably an issue of a bad connection when the cartridge was inserted.

What eventually fixed it for me (at least for now) was a suggestion of disassembling the cartridge and plugging the naked board into the system. I did this, and to my surprise it completely fixed the issue; the cartridge loaded correctly every time I started the console, and I was able to launch games successfully without any hiccups. Apparently the plastic casing can cause the cartridge contacts to not line up properly with the pins in the slot. There are some suggestions about putting a piece of paper behind the cartridge when inserting it, or putting a piece of paper in the cartridge (on the back) to make sure it sits properly when inserted. For kicks, I just reassembled the cartridge since I double-confirmed the cartridge was fine, and so far it's continued to work properly. I'm guessing that by fully inserting the cartridge board into the cartridge slot without the casing in the way, the cartridge slot pins that weren't contacting correctly were re-bent in a way that it correctly makes contact now even with the cartridge casing on.

So if you have problems, as a first step try disassembling the cartridge and plugging the cartridge board into the system. Remove the two screws on the cartridge, split apart the plastic shell, and pull out the circuit board (reverse to reassemble). If you still have trouble, there are other guides available with instructions on how to clean the cartridge slot and re-bend the pins. Make sure you are careful though!

Overall the best upgrade you can get, and it's amazing it's still widely available for relatively cheap. There are some newer software options available to get even more out of it if you want, but you just need to be cognizant that old electronics like this might have problems. Thankfully, in most cases, there are solutions.

Great product!

Love this little thing, came highly recommended by the retro gaming community. Basically it acts like a Memory Card (with caveats), a Memory Expansion, an Action Replay Cheat Device (like a Gameshark), and it also allows you to defeat the region lock on your console so you can play Japanese and PAL Region games. It should be noted that this doesn't allow you to play backups (games burnt onto CDs).

The only thing I've found to be kind of disappointing is the Memory Card feature only works when booting into the menu of the Action Replay. Basically you can copy save data from the internal memory of the console over to the Action Replay manually but you cannot use it as an actual memory card within the games. So think of it like a bank, you can put money in and hold it into that savings account but in order to use it in the game you have to pull it back over to your checking account (the internal memory). That's a bit too tedious in my personal opinion but it's well worth the $40 as a cheap solution for the other features at the very least.

If you're look for more features I would recommend finding something that has Pseudo Saturn Kai flashed onto it (which allows the playing of backup games) and Memory Card feature which functions like a normal memory card would. Those devices are however generally more expensive but offer more feature-wise.

For the $40, just having the ability to play the entire Japanese and PAL libraries is well worth it. NTSC games are very expensive and many of the Japanese versions are just as playable and incredibly more cost effective. An example would be House of the Dead. The Japan release can be had for around $30-$35 while the NTSC US Release is currently going for upwards of $500.00 for a complete authentic copy of the game.

Highly recommend this little device, just make sure it suits your needs before you order it.

The Most Essential Saturn Accesory

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2013

IF you take the time to pick up a Sega Saturn, then you need this cart. There is a reason that this cart is still highly in demand after all these years, it expands the potential of the system by leaps and bounds. You gives you more than enough storage for all of your game files, it gives you the expanded ram you need to play amazing games like X-Men vs Street Fighter, it gives you a cheat device, and most importantly it bypasses the silly region locking the system has. This allows you to play Japanese games with almost no hitch. There are some games that won't work notably KOF, but for the most part its probably the simplest region work around that you will find.

The only real downsides to the cart are how the saves work and the liability that it can be for your cart slot. This does not allow you save directly to the cart like the official back up cart. You still use the internal system memory for your games, but you can back up and transfer saves from the cart when you first start up the system. The good thing about this is that if your internal battery dies you still have your saves. The other issue is not as big of a deal. The cart fits very snugly in the cart slot so if you take it in and out a lot, it has the potential to damage the pins of the cart slot. If that happens your in a bind as it likely can't be fixed and replacing it isn't all that easy or cheap either. The simple solution to this is that it never leaves the slot. You don't need another cart anyway, so no need to move it once its in. I bought mine more than two years ago, and it has yet to leave the cart slot.

All in all this is a must have for any serious Sega Saturn fan. It isn't perfect, but at the end of the day it does so much for so little. Its fast, simple, and effective. I can't recommend it enough.
