I purchased a lot of 5 Ram Cards a while back for my Saturn. All for the bargain price of £20.
- 2 Official Sega ones, 2 Konami Tokimeki Memorial ones and this one;
Initially I couldn't get it to work but after a good clean I managed to get it firing up on my Saturn.
The switch on the side has two settings. If it's in the down position it acts like a normal memory card, but in the up position it acts as a ROM card instead.
I've tested it with several games and It works fine with all of my SNK games but it doesn't work with any of Capcom's that require the 4Mb Card.
It has the usual 3 imprints near the base at the front, but doesn't have the usual grips on the top corners (probably because they'd get in the way of the switch). On the reverse the design is identical to the official cartridges I have, but there is no sticker or imprint to indicate a manufacturer or model number. Also the bottom screws are standard Phillips screws instead of the usual hexagonal ones.
The card has no cheat functions and doesn't act as a converter, although it works fine in whatever region I set my Saturn.
The whole thing seems to have been made to a fairly high standard. Personally, I'd guess it was a third party item made in Asia, possibly Hong Kong.
Does anyone else have one of these or have any idea who made them? Any information would be welcome.
