What kind of Action replay do you have? The swap trick doesn't even need one so the AR is seemingly doing noting for your Saturn.
i have that action replay and i need to do the swap trick for the imports or they wont load

That's why I tracked down a mod chip for mine. That's just not a collection I can afford to get into, lol.

i have a action replay but i also want to get it chipped so i dont have to deal with swaping the discs

--- End quote ---


What do you mean buy swaping the disc? Action Repay is not capable enough?

--- End quote ---

in order to play imports without a chip you need to let the disk read and pull it without breaking the laser and do the swap

--- End quote ---

Wait, what?  Chipping it will only allow to to play backups, that's it.  It won't allow you play imports (though patching JP ISO files to US is as simple as two or three mouse clicks...)

This. I've never had a JP or EU region game not work after patching the region and the Saturn's region patcher is very user friendly.

You must have a bad Action Replay if you still need to swap discs for imports. I've played dozens of JP games on my US Saturn back before I got a JP Saturn, and now that I have a JP Saturn I've played tons of US games on it with the Action Replay Plus.

I did get a JP Saturn Model 1 because there are a few games that won't run on a Model 2, and there are a few JP games that won't run correctly or at all with Action Replay Plus - those games in my experience being Kyuutenkai Fantastic Pinball (won't run at all on a Model 2 regardless of region) and Real Bout Fatal Fury (also won't run at all on a Model 2, but even if you run it with AR+ on Model 1, there will be a few characters that glitch out heavily because the AR+ won't properly switch to 1M mode, so it seems to still need a proper 1M cart).

There's also KOF'95 and Ultraman: Hikari no Kyojin Densetsu - these games require their own unique RAM cart and won't run without them.

But yeah, aside from those instances (I know there's a lot more JP games that only run on Model 1 Saturns, but that's all I've encountered thus far) I've been able to play most games with my AR+ regardless of region.

So it should work Good? I bought an Action Replay for my US Saturn, but the games are still being shipped. I hope it works. If you need to replace your battery for the Saturn, will that affect the Action Replay in any way?
