			Hello all... I own a EMS 4 in 1 Plus (2.01) with a DB25 cable...(1.8 meter) I have seen that SSLINK can drive a PC parallel port? I have try theses things: SSLINK /L1 09 SL.BIN 06004000 1 wich result on a blank screen on my saturn I have try 6002000 600000 and nothing... the SL.BIN is the official AKIRA sample in the SGL... Am i crazy or i do own a ISA PC Comm link card for the futur ??? thank a lot

No, you do need a Commlink. The SGL samples are linked to 0x6004000, but some of the samples have to be edited and recompiled to remove some cartdev-related features that naturally won't work with an Action Replay.

			so it will work w/ cartdevrev.b then? cheers

			Buy me one and I promise I'll try.

			The parallel port support is for the Free Wing adapter... (see PAR_HARD.LZH). This design is basically a Comms Link card that connects to the parallel port instead of ISA.

			Thank a lot for your help... In add...I own a Titan board. I projected to build a RAM-based cartdrige with DB25 for debugging... What about ST-V ROM acces??? SH2 PC for boot executable (6004000???) Is there a function ("high level") in SBL for ex that can download Bank on RAM directly (I think at ST-V with the main code on the RAM and a transfer of all needs (map, sprites) all times)... And, i can dream, but a SDK for ST-V (A moded SBL or SGL)??? It exsist or pure code for programming???

There's some #ifdef ST_V and #ifdef TITAN in the SGL headers, but I don't know if the actual libraries support the hardware. Runik can probably tell you all you need to know about the ST-V.

Try the monitor program included in the Win95 tool package. Unless you fancy writing SCSI drivers yourself you can probably forget all DOS-based tools.

			I have bought a PC Comm link card...(its a v6.0, I hope it'll be OK ???) Another stuff: SGL is a "highlevel" developpement tool for the Saturn. But what about power??? Does SGL use the 2 SH2s (compiler...) and can i dream to have my full 200K poly per sec with this great SDK ??? (in TV_320x240,, 1 for 60 FPS ) ... cheers
