Well I have one of these like new shinning contacts and all and the thing works ok on all RAM dependent games I tested with no problem at all. But I have some saves in the cart and now need to access the menus whith codes and save manager. The question is how the hell you do this??? I have booted it ok some months ago but it seemed that I had to hold some button or it would not load the menu. But I don't remember anymore. Any help will be great:dammit:.
yeah its the stupid absurd thing, it worked ok I just put it in the box and let it resting for some months. Now the damn menu don't appear no matter what I do. BTW, tested on 3 va0.5 saturns being one of them my Hi-Saturn mmp-1. I am so pissed that I feel desire to smash this thing. One thing came to mind, could the flash be corrupted so the menu don't appear??
Mine died suddenly too - partially. The 1M games were ok, the 4M games had corrupted sprites, the menu was there but froze when selecting the save games from like a decade. I've never encountered that the menu wouldn't load but the RAM games were fine. So maybe you just try to put it in and pull it out again a little bit, often it gets a better contact to the console.
UPDATE!! Well I know how I fixed mine right now, just downloaded and used the The Rockin'-B All Stars disc and flashed the firmware. Too bad I didn't know how to retain the saves so they are all lost but the AR is working again. So in short: don't let your saves in this thing. Better buy official backup ram cartidges for this.
The same thing happened to me. I lost 10 years worth of gamesaves. If you want to backup the gamesaves to a PC (which I do now), you can get something like this: http://www.gamingenterprisesinc.com/DataLink/
