Action replay communication program?

I managed to make my action replay work (after destroying one saturn ), and now I'm looking for that communication program that is used to communicate between the pc and the cart. The webpage of EMS is down and noone else seems to have it.

Honestly is worth looking for that program?

You can find the program in the Saturn development tool section.... Remember not to try flashing the Datel software on your EMS cart or you'll lose the communications ability.

Thank you for posting this site! I didn't notice that all I needed was here

The program I was looking for was commslnk to transfer saves.

But, I have a problem. I can't download or upload anything to the cart.

What the progam does, is to show a spinning slash and nothing happens next.

The documentation says about an ISA card where I connect the cable. I don't have one, and connected the parralel cable directly to my pc's parralel port. Also I'm using XP. I don't know if the program can actualy see if there is a connection (can I check this?)

You can't plug the cable directly to the pc parallele port, you really need and isa card or look for the new usb solution in the saturn dev forum.

Too bad I can't use the parallel port . Where can I find that ISA card? Is it a common card or is it a special one only intened for action replay?
