Title: WTB- Sega Saturn Action Replay 4 in 1
Post by: Mathius on August 05, 2010, 05:32:28 AM: Hey all! I am needing an Action Replay for a Saturn I just bought. If anyone can help me avoid eBay pricing please shoot me a PM, or just post. Offers welcome. Thanks! :)

Actually, you're better off with a switch regardless, but it can be a pain to find someone to install the switch.

Yep, they no longer have the serial cable port on the more recently made ones though. Also keep in mind, Saturn cartridge slots suck. Getting carts to work properly can be a hassle.

It was used for downloading action replay codes or save files to and from the device.

Added in edit: And I am not aware of a way to mod it.

And there is apparently a way to mod the newer ones to put in the serial port. The guy who sells the datalink device above mods it for $15, so I imagine it's not a huge job.
