		oh and does lan-kwei have a similar product? cos lik-snag charges too much for shipping to my country

		UNIVERSAL KEY 3IN1 Not what you're looking for tho, it's the same thing, but less memory blocks, plus it's missing the extra videoram. Direct saving just allows you to save games straight to the card, rather than saving it to your saturn, and then booting your saturn up, going into the mem manager and transfering files from the saturn to the card and back.

		errr so with the missing video ram I cant play games like metal slug and x-men vs streetfighter right? ???

		Xai	Jun 16, 2002
		yes. edit: yes, as in I'm agreeing with you, you won't be able to play those games with the cart I told you they had at Lan-Kwei.

		A bit off-topic, but the cartridge memory isn't video memory, but rather general-purpose (slow) RAM that can be used to store anything (except program code, as Sega didn't allow it).

		Xai	Jun 16, 2002
		yea, most games use it for holding sprites and other graphical data tho right?

		antime	Jun 16, 2002
		Yes, but calling it "video memory" implies that it is used by the video circuits, which isn't the case.
