Sega Saturn 4-in-1 Cartridge (Pseudo Saturn!)

[@AuntieAliasing]

Piracy on real hardware is underrated

[@retrorocket7247]

It's not piracy if you're not selling the games. If anything It's saving the history of those games.

[@PJxBuchwild]

​@retrorocket7247 we have an interesting problem, people want these items and are willing to pay a fair price but to fees the scalpers will only make things worse! Due to the age I see nothing wrong with piracy for personal use.

[@GameJunctionMedia]

Saturn is definitely expensive to collect for.

[@tricycloplots21]

Can confirm this particular "All-In-One" cart is the GOAT.

[@K-Blao]

I don't understand the difference between this and action replay.

[@tricycloplots21]

@@K-Blao most action replay carts only have one function, either RAM, memory, or hacks. This does all three.

[@paulsamson4628]

The action replay also acts as ram cart btw

[@chimmyinfernape9189]

I ended up importing a Japanese Saturn cos the Japanese games are a fraction of the price of the ntsc ones

[@JawCrush]

I imported a Japanese one because they were cheaper as well. But with a cartridge like this you can play a Saturn game from any region

[@chimmyinfernape9189]

@@JawCrush I have legit seen Saturn games for sale twice here in 10 years and they were like 50$ each for common titles. So I decided it was my Japan only console. Love collecting for it

[@JawCrush]

@@chimmyinfernape9189 The Japanese games are also easier on the shelf space lol

[@chimmyinfernape9189]

@@JawCrush also there is a lot of random titles that would never fly in North America 🤣🤣🤣. I have this strip rock paper sissers game with fmv. It’s so random yet so good as a conversation piece when someone asks what’s the most random game in my collection

Fun fact: why not use the chip route? There is one Saturn chip hardware where you don’t have to do the disc swap trick, or action replay stuff. Refhotsonic took that route and the console never broke a single seat for him. He did this to test out sonic X-treme prototypes

[@Allen_101]

Thanks! Not because of the Pseudo Saturn stuff but because I didn’t know the Saturn saved based off a battery. My Saturn had issues with saving buy now I know it’s because it didn’t come with the battery. Thanks dude!

[@JawCrush]

No problem! We're lucky that the battery in the Saturn is SUPER easy to replace, unlike the Dreamcast.

[@risingrevolt]

That crt is so godly that you just earned yourself a sub

[@hylianbran7273]

Make sure you put an RF shield in the cart. Many games won't load correctly without it. Also be careful about removing and inserting the cartridge, as the pcb messes up the cart slot for some reason.

[@m8rs558]

Could you elaborate on this? I can't find any more info like this

[@maxrichards5925]

This is a great short. I’m hoping to pick one up, but as far as I know these carts don’t have edges which the Saturn cart shot should come into contact with. These aftermarket carts ruin your Saturn cart slot over time but the only way these seem to fix that is to remove a reason to remove the cart altogether. Hopefully someone can make these with proper edge connectors so we no longer have to worry about these cart slots

[@ronanmccabe7902]

Excellent video, loving these long form retrospectives, I watched the Dino Crisis and Parasite Eve videos too. Remember seeing original Panzer Dragoon as playable demo type thing in the 90s and being blown away. Years later, the atmosphere, tone, and minimalistic gameplay of Ico reminded me a bit of PD. Well done again on these videos, outstanding content.

[@ROBSILVERGUN]

Saroo is the thing of the moment.

[@SegaAidan]

You could do the swapping disks technique, but that can get annoying after a while, so it is better just to mod the Saturn. I have a modded U.S Saturn. Most of the good Saturn games were only in Japan.

[@JawCrush]

You could do the disk swapping technique to play burned games? That's cool, I only had to do it to flash Pseudo Saturn. That'd get annoying after a while but at least you wouldn't have to pay for a mod/cartridge. The Japanese only games on the Saturn are amazing!

[@SegaAidan]

@@JawCrush well i do have the mod cart, i wanted it specifically to play the Saturn version of metal slug

[@JawCrush]

@@SegaAidan Oooo, is that version any good?

[@mickeyshooter5298]

I have a US Saturn ( I believe). It has a cartridge port along with the cd. Does this mean that Japanese games won’t work on my console?

[@lucadipaolo1997]

@@mickeyshooter5298 US games only work on US consoles. To play Japanese games, you'll either need a cartridge that allows such functionality (I think all the ones shown in this video do that), or have a keyswitch installed; apparently, the keyswitch mod is absurdly easy to do for anyone with some soldering electronics skills.

[@supermetroid009]

Got mine, my Saturn collection consists of jpn, American and burned games I love this console and the cart awesome video

[@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977]

Why it says that if you paid for this you were ripped out? I mean paying for such a piracy I would gladly do so. And did not know Saturn had cartridge entrance too.

[@EndOfForever]

Good short

Who made the US/KR/EU Sega Saturn startup?

Now you can emulate them

[@SigmundFreudGaming]

SICK

[@sega-re-trop-vieux]

We have to figure it out, the Saturn has more than 28 years old and it means that games tend to be old and rare too. But in the other hand the market for Atari 2600 isn’t as good as in the 2000, the reason is that the generation from the 70s are old and don’t care ( at least not like when they were between 20 and 50 years old), the other thing is that those Atari games are very simple and not deep ( I don’t talk about the graphics!!). The NES is old too but has deep games ( Zelda, super Mario bros 3…). We can be sure of 1 important thing before 2050 all consoles between 1980 and 2000 won’t be as popular as right now

[@robert5235]

One word "Saroo"

[@rocketsurgeon5758]

How is the compatibility with the ram cart mode?

[@JawCrush]

The only ram cart game I've tried is Cotton 2 which works fine so I'd assume the compatibility is alright. Can't say for certain, though

How can I get those cds burned from$?

European game cases are the coolest. But they also such because it all cardboard cases. So very fragile.

[@nessentialsunlimited]

Does it have beveled edges on the cartridge?

[@nathanoyama8477]

Can u tell us how u got ur copies of those Saturn games and burnt those CD-Rs? 😄 -Mike (FBI) -Oyama (Sega Legal)

[@JawCrush]

I bought my CD-Rs at Staples and totally didn't look up illegal iso dumps or anything like that. Nope. Couldn't be me.

[@JoseBrisenoJr-hj1pu]

It's totally worth it

[@DietzJ1990]

Any advice on compressing the roms for burning onto a cd? After downloading a rom, it has multiple bin files etc and it won’t burn using imgburn. Please let me know what you do, thanks.

[@JawCrush]

I think on Saturn games you're supposed to use either 2x for 4x. There are multiple bin files but iirc you're just supposed to select the cue file at the bottom of whatever iso you're trying to burn. That should make everything work fine

[@PatsHungryGaming]

I’m confused does this cartridge have all the games available on Saturn burned already

[@JawCrush]

No, it only allows the console to play burned CD-R games, which it can't do without it.

[@RetroDark2008]

Pink Skeleton Gaming will refurbish your Saturn and mod it! Now my Saturn is automatically region-free, will read burned games and won't lose the internal save.

I just emulate it on Xbox Series S. Its superb.

[@HollowRick]

Saturn Emulation isn't at the level of ps1 yet.. sure if you want to run the top games everyone talks about for the system then sure it will work well enough but if want to really delve into the library original hardware or the current in development Saturn core for the mister will be the only ways to do that for a while until software Emulation catches up

@@HollowRick know its been a few months... but man oh man did the mister saturn core ever improve in the last couple days. seems hard to find things that don't work now.
