Sega saturn memory are they region ??

Sega Saturn memory are they region locked as i have got this today from a locale retro game shop its a HSS-0150 i have tryed on my pal Saturn and will not work i have cleaned all the contacts? i am unsure as it the first time with the memory thing. any help:thumbsup:

 

I used an HSS-0138 saved data backup thing on my NTSC-U machine, but that probably doesn't help you much.

 

Probably, or maybe it's a dud. I've only ever had the use of a EURO cart in a PAL system though and that was a long long time ago.

Strangely I've started liking Saturn stuff again though... starting to miss my Sophia Systems Saturn and games such as Christmas NiGHTS, Clockwork Knight and Virtual Hydlide

 

OK i will take it back and get them to test it on there Jap system.

 

Saturn memory cartridges are not region locked. Just remember thatt he Saturn's cartridge port is F+ing awful. Just as bad or worse than the western NES.

I believe I have a JAP memory card & import converter for the Saturn. Will have to dig it out to give precise details. It worked on my PAL Saturn, but was prone to errors, often filling itself up with random data which only a full reformat would solve. Seeing as I only had one import game at the time I never really bothered with it.

raylyd, care to mention the local retro game shop? I'm in Cardiff too

 

I can't believe no one has noticed this yet

HSS-0150 is a RAM-cartridge (1MB)! Of course it won't save your game states.
Actual memory carts are not region locked. I use a PAL cartridge all the time for my Japanese games (on a JPN console).

/EDIT
Ohow, I just noticed I've been promoted to an ASSEMbler Soldier.
