I have some problem as well with the action replay plus 4M 3 in 1 , I've jsut bought one from Play Asia. I started my saturn and the action menu comes up. I went into the memory manager and copied the internal savefile to the card. Now I had the save in both spots. After that I started the game but could only choose from the internal memory. I loaded it anyway, went into the game and to a place ingame were you were you should be able to save only to a memorycard. But there it said no memory installed. So I rebooted the system, deleted the save file from the internal memory, started the game but I couldnt load any save at all from there. After that I pluged out the memorycard and plgued it in again, after that both savefiles were gone, nothing left. So now 40 hours of gaming on Dragon Force is gone. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong here, why didnt the console found the savefile on the catridge and why did it disapear complety from there when I pluged it out? Is it broken? Now the system doenst find the catridge at all but I will try do as you guys posted above with plug it out and in again some times. Will even try to clean it with a creditcard,t-shirt and alcohol deadite answered your ques about the fact that save files can't be saved direct to PAR carts (I know, it's a pain in the ass -- I use an original sega brand cart for that). As to why it didn't keep your saves, did you make sure to "confirm" the transfers? PAR memory manager only moves your files on confirmation of the move -- that is, moving the file isn't done real time -- Once you move over your memory from one place to another, you have to press the exit menu button (think it was button B from memory), and get the confirmation message that the save files actually got transferred. If you turn your system off BEFORE this message, then the save files won't have actually moved yet.

Quick question: let's say I were to procure a copy of Vampire Savior for my US Saturn and I have an Action Replay 4M Plus. Would I be able to play it OK? Or would it not work?

^ Vampire savior works perfectly with an action replay 4-in-1 cart, so you can buy it with confidence. The only 2 games that require a cartridge that you'll be unable to play are Kof '95 and Ultraman Hikaei no Kyojin. Check out the thread below; segasaturngroup.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=games&action=display&thread=3784The only other game that I'm aware of which has problems when using an AR cart is Marvel Vs. Street fighter, but this only effects European PAL machines. The problem is a speed issue, rather than a compatibility one though. Basically, if you play it at 50hz (PAL standard) instead of 60hz (NTSC), you'll get heavily glitched or non-existant backgrounds throughout the game.

Here's another question: Let's say you're playing a game like Deep Fear, but you want to save on a memory cartridge instead of the system. I'm assuming not, but is it safe to remove the AR and put in a normal Memory Cartridge during the game?

I'd definitely not try either removing or inserting cartridges while your saturn is turned on. Saturn cartridges are not like Sony playstation memory cards, they are not designed to be removed or replaced while the saturn is in use.

I tried that and it erased the memory cartridge I put in.
Just don't.

I just bought a new Action replay cart from play asia with firmware 2.02. My issue is that i try to load up a game and it gets stuck when i press start game, the loading box shows up and then nothing happens. Is my cart defective or is this fixable? I have the Sega Saturn version 2 by the way.

I also bought it from Play-Asia recently and it works perfectly for me, didn't even have to fiddle with the cartridge to get it recognized by Saturn.
How does the CD drive behave at this point? Does it read the CD but stops at some point or doesn't do anything at all? Did you try going to the cd player menu and then run the game? Is it the case with every title or only imports?

Your cart isn't getting a proper connection to the Saturn. Years ago I had this same issue. Pull it out of the Saturn a few mms. Once it works fully don't take it out. I used to slide an index card in the slot behind the card to keep it from moving worked perfectly.

Depends how screwed up your cartridge slot is, they're made of cheese.

im gonna try cleaning the cartridge slot with alcohol and see if that helps at all. i got the system off ebay, it works fine but it seems like it was in storage or something because it was very dusty when i got it.
