    Is there any way I can have all the features of the [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Saturn Action Replay 4M Plus, latest version 2.02(i think it's the 4-in-1) and still use the NetLink even though there is only one cartridge slot?
    (have both connected at once, so I do not have to change them out)
    That, along with the Saturn modchip sold on racketboy.com and the Victor RG-VC20 or Victor RG-VC3(whatever is better)
    Is this possible to have all of these features? I need it more permanent because the Saturn will be in my kiosk where I cannot get to it.
    Thanks.

    If it's in a kiosk, how will you change Discs anyway? Anyway, the answer is no.

    @MottZilla It's much easier to change the discs than. Plus when the Saturn is in the kiosk there is no room for me to pull out my NetLink adapter because it's too tall.

    In theory if you make an adapter which would have 2 ends out and 1 in and some sort of switch to power one cart at a time then it should work.

    That is what I was thinking, but does somebody here have a pinout of the Saturn cart port?

    The theory sounds alright but I don't think in practice that the idea is very feasible. Curious, what does the NetLink do these days anyway? Can you still play NetLink games over the phone or something?

    Sure, it was just peer2peer, without a server.

    Yeah, NetLink still works. You can DirectDial to your buddies console.
    www.SaturnLeague.com
    That's an online community and forum for people who still use NetLink. I'd be glad to play with anyone who has a NetLink game as soon I FULLY put together my kiosk...Could be awhile, but PM me.
    The only NetLink games are:
    Duke Nukem 3D
    Saturn Bomberman
    Virtual On: NetLink Edition
    Sega Rally Championship: NetLInk Edition
    Daytona CCE: NetLink Edition

    But would there be a way to have both active at once instead of having to switch?

    That seems pretty impossible, but why do you need them both at once?

    Because, it would be rad. Oh well. Well, what you said, If anyone has the pin out or some advice on how to do it WITH the switch, I'd be down to give it a try. :) Or, I'll pay someone $50 USD(via PayPal) to make a working 2out 1in adapter w/ switch.

    The adapter with the switch is easy just straight out you don't need any schematic and put the switch to one of the power trace to active the cart you want.
    Maybe it would be possible to have them both connected if they don't share same traces(pins), but I doubt.
