Thanks for the info! Going to try this on our Saturn as the games have just gotten way to expensive. Cheers!
I have a moded Sega Saturn (Jap) version and I also have the Action Replay that I bought over 20 years ago, never thought to play burned copies on it. I was using it to play games from different regions, still works fine.
i got one of those to play imports i had no idea they let you play back ups also! thank you for the video. appreciate the info!
Xilox very welcome. :)
Thanks for showing on what to do on burned games. Subbed as well.
RetroRobby thank you and also thank you for the watch 🙂🙂
i realy like this video i love how u found this console for $35
broken off ebay and you repaired it with your kool skills :)
they are so expensive today
They have a universal mod chip now for the Saturn that works with all models.
JeffTheLoser that is awesome
Thanks Glenn. Got her up and running.
Raccoon 71 ... fantastic 😊
Got a question (hope maybe your still around for this video)
True to use CD-R you gotta use the Action replay, you can not save at all. (I’m not really wanting to try the disk swap trick)
But what if I already say I got the Memory card for saving games.
Could I maybe first use the action replay cart insert the CD-R to let the game load, then later when the game shows up I can swap the action replay for the memory cart so I’m able to save
Could that work? Or would that maybe crash the game?
Im soon gonna get my Saturn and I hope to save some games that need it.
yeah, im missing something I guess, Ive had one of these AR carts for about 11 years or so, and while I of course can play imports with it, it doesnt allow for CDRs, I see that "psuedo saturn" name in the menu you show, which Ive only heard of before, but Im must be missing the part where you tell us how to make whatever change to the AR cart..because "psuedo saturn" is not Action Replay
You have to flash the action replay cartridge to the psuedo saturn. ruclips.net/video/cpn2xZTxNcA/видео.html that's how you do it if needed i can help msg me if your stuck.
There is a way to play back ups without using an action replay or game shark… It involves using the swap method. Some people say that it can slowly kill your Saturn. But I’ve been playing burnt games on it since 2003 and it hasn’t been an issue. Still works fine in 2019.
Yeah he brought that up in the video
I just saw this usefull video of yours.
Please tell me in what format do you burn de Sega Saturn games in order to play them on an original non moded Saturn? .iso, .bin ? what type?
Would playing games off of CD-R's be inferior to playing the official CD's? Do they take longer to load or have lower quality audio compared to an official copy for example?
Why would the audio quality be lower? It's literally the same digital data burned onto a disc.
Thanks man, this is awesome! Saturn emulation has gotten way better, but it'll never be as good as the real thing. And seeing as how damn expensive even some Japanese games are, this is a godsend.
The Pseudo Saturn cartdridge (the red one) serves to the same?
Thanks man you were a huge help
Anton Davis .. very welcome.. why I made my Channel :)
What files do you burn to the cd does it need to be the iso or bin or mds? Everytime I download a rom it’s a different file either mds/iso/bin etc
steveothehulk I have used only iso's
Glen Planamento can’t seem to find ISO’s only the other files I mentioned
Awesome trick‼️
Nice! I already have the RAM cart too.
i have an action replay and it doesnt work so i guess the saturn that i have doesnt work like that im gonna have to get a model one saturn
How do you put the save file onto the cartridge?
No problem Xilox :) enjoy
This is nice and all but doing this you loose all the AR functionality which is very useful. I have a spare modchip but I don't know if it works on this particular model of Saturn (all my Saturns are the round button ones).
Works with burned or original NTSC-J games?
The Saturn has an Everdrive type option like the PS1 and Dreamcast do now. The Saturn has two versions the Rhea? The PS1 version was just released at the end of 2018 and the Dreamcast late 2017 or 2018. About 200$ for the PS1 and Dreamcast and the Saturn should be around there. Those are commercially sold. You can also but the Wii and GameCube with external hard drives that include their library. The Xbox can also be purchased from individuals but I’ve rarely seen it include the entire library. The PS3 is also starting to be sold with its library included but again these are from individuals so each one could be different. The Super Retrocade can be purchased version 1.1 and you can attain the roms fir the entire libraries for Nes Snes Genesis Mastersystem All Gameboy except for 3d variations Turbo Grafix 16 Sega Cd as well as 3000-5000 arcade games. You can add more it’s just people have those readily available. For those that do not know you can also get Everdrives for these systems for those who want to use the consoles NES Snes Genesis Neo Geo Turbo Grafix 16 Nintendo 64 and most of the handhelds. The Retro Pis Rasberry etc is another option for the all in one inclusive. I have never had a Pi but in my opinion just keep waiting another year or three and they’ll have the technology and the price will come down enough on external hard drives where you will have EVERY system PS3 and 360 and Wii U and prior on one system with all the libraries plus 3000-6000 Mame titles for 300-500$. Which is a steal you’ll end up with 150,000 games on one system but..... many of those are garbage. This is a rough guess but you’d probably have 30,000 playable enjoyable games and two thirds you would never even click on once most likely, but to have that option, WoW!!!! So, you have so many options it’s just down to preference and cost...
Does this method work with 1M and 4M games too or not.
ps1 had load of pirates,through the mod chip, action replay trick is how old now ? 2-3 years ?
colin mindak this one .. probably 4 years
Does anyone have any advice. I have tried the swap trick with different types of discs and also different firmware(Atlas, Psuedo (older) and kai) and i just cat get it to work. maybe my saturn is just shite, its a model 1.
sandy hoax ha i have japan one and bought on ebay 4-1 Saturn Pseudo have 1 -4 M and save and upgraded bro for 49$ is the bomb no swap trick or nothing plays CD-R good without tricks
I believe you have to flash the Cartridge with special software to allow it to play copies.
But then the cartridge loses the option to save gameprogress on it.....
zetmoon that is correct
Glen Planamento ok
can you still save games though like Panzer Dragoon saga by swapping out cartridge with another non-modified action replay?
Brandon Premo no, I don't think it's possible to swap cartridges as that would be bad for the Saturn and besides, you cannot save directly to the cartridge. You always save to the internal memory but you backup the data to the cartridge in startup menu
So is it possible to move save data from internal battery to non-modified action replay?
I'm fine with using internal battery, but I'd like something with a little more life left in it.
Funny...I have that cartridge in my Saturn and never knew this. Will try later on.
what kind of cable or converter do you use to connect the saturn to a hd monitor?
Ebay has a cable made my extreme. That plugs in system and has hdmi. Bout 20 usd
What if I wished to play the Japanese dungeons and dragons (the second part) that requires my 4mb cartridge, while at the same time I need to have my pseudo cartridge inserted in order to boot up a Japanese game?
Hmm I think what I’m trying to ask is, would a solution be that after I boot up the game using my pseudo Kai cart can I hot swap it with my 4mb cart? Or is that a big no no?
got the action replay plus IDK it could play backups lol now i do
The 4 meg of ram is not for saveing games it's for extra system and graphics memory it also has some storage memory for games saves and you can play games from any region and load cheat codes so it's a 4 in 1 or 5 if you include the burnt CD exploit !
Derek Washuck it's a great little cart. Thanks for the clarification and the watch 🙂
Wow $35 is a hell of a deal nowadays. I wish I bought one a few years back instead of paying 150 a couple months ago
can you use the flash cart to store save data after it is flashed?
Ramiro 1992 I believe once you flash it to play Backups it can't still save..but will have to test that..I have not tried.
Glen Planamento really? If you can test it I would be grateful
Ramiro 1992 will try to test today if I can 🤗
Where can I buy this cart? What need I more?
Björn Mielke it's available on eBay.
Can this damage your system when it reads cdr discs?
samghost13 I have heard people say that using CD-R discs can cause a problem with the laser I personally have never seen such an instance the only thing that you could run into is the initial disc swap trick to get the software loaded onto the cartridge cuz you are pulling a disc off a spinning disc honestly it's not something I worry about
I had and have a dead ps one. I modded her and so on. I dont want to chip my Saturn. I think i tay with my Original games with that Console. Anyway Thanx for reply
Anyway to run Sega cd Or mega drive cd backups ❤however& u wanna call it on a Saturn
Oh I have both now. A simple to install modchip and this card...
a ModChip is like a Game Genie. it basically interrupts the Communication from the CD Drive to the MotherBoard.
Example. when you insert a CD R in the Disc Drive. The CD Drive will say its not a Legit Game. the ModChip Will Take that and Say to the Motherboard that its a legit game and the Correct Reigon
HAPPY WITH MY ORIGINALS TBH.
my action replay wont work anymore
SONIC EXTREMO ON DREAMCAST
Cool video😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
john D thank you and thank you for the watch 😊
best place to try and find one is ebay
no link for the cart.
Jimmy J no.. it's on eBay just a 4 in 1 memory cart for Sega Saturn.. example here my friend.
Look at this on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/252581976807
Thanks. I hope it really works because I can do all the work for mod chips but don't want to do it. This will be so much easier.
Jimmy J no problem.. I can say for sure it does. :). one swap trick to get CD to load the crack..then update firmware on cart..then you are all set :)
Glen Planamento so how do I get the info onto the cart to play backups... I have one of these memory expansion carts already but you can't just run backups because you have the cart right? I need to get some sort of file on to that cart correct?
chubbykitty138 you need to burn a CD with the hack and do .. unfortunately.. one CD swap trick to get that CD to load..once done..no more swap tricks.
5:32 That's not a door that's a cover
kawaii bro some say tomato others say tomahto but in any case it can be a cover or a lid 🤗😄😅😎😉..
Sucks saturn games are so expensive now
"How to play on an unmodded saturn." "Step 1 : Unscrew Saturn and take the lid off". Or, as the rest of us call it, modding.
LoL I guess..but there is no change to the system.. one can open it to give the inside a good cleaning. So that would not be modding.. it be cleaning ..and it's just a valid a point :).
@@GlensRetroShow Yeah I get it, I guess I'd see "Unmodded" as meaning "Wouldn't void your theoretical warranty".
Bruu is fake ■
30 bucks just 4 years ago now its 200 lol
Bullshit I buy a action replay card and it,s don't do that and it's a piece of shit.
The original AR can´t do this. You need to flash the AR with pseudo saturn. I made a quick demonstration video how you can fix your problem -> /watch?v=cTU3EVh0xMc
