Complete feature list: Features (FIRST release 05/09/01, v1): - multiregion disc - supports internal backup memory - supports external backup cartridge - supports external serial device like floppy drive (untested) - supports CD drive - directory change (CD only) - CD swapping and non-Saturn CD-ROMS with 8.3 filename format - CD stop for saver swapping - virtual drives: - reside in work RAM (as long as powered ON) - theoretically unlimited number of virtual drives - load and save it to any writeable storage device - are stored bzip2 compressed - are faster than all other devices - all storage devices are equal for you (except: CD not writeable, virtual drives allow double filenames) - COPY and DELETE files - FORMAT storage devices - LOAD and SAVE compressed virtual drives - slot system for source and target storage device: - toggle between the slots - change storage device in slot - change selected file - bzip2 compression to squeeze virtual drives - select fast or slow(less RAM needed) decompression - select compression quality from 1 (without RAM cart or with 1 MByte RAM cart) up to 4 (only 4 MByte cart) - uses up to 5 different RAM areas in Saturn to gather space for file, virtual drive and compression/decompression works (thanks to BGET memory allocator) - supports 1 MByte and 4 MByte RAM cartridge -> allow better compression - supports the firmware reflashing of Action Replay Cartridges by including ExCyber's arflash program with those firmwares: - Datel Action Replay - EMS Action Replay 4M Plus - Action Replay Plus/Pro - empty files and empty virtual drives supported - can always exit app with START + A + B + C - currently, the disc does not contain any useable save games New features (SECOND release 05/11/09, v2): (NOTE: base64 features disabled) - a new cool menu to access ALL functions of the SGM -> old 2nd help page obsolete - custom names and comments for (using a String Editor) - compressed files (name suffix only, 8 chars) -> name is kept when - uncompressing: file name -> drive name - compressing again: drive name -> file name (editable) - base64 encoded files - partitioned files (splitted) - memory dumps - file size now displayed as blocks, not kBytes - SPLIT/JOIN files (to into system memory for exchange between carts) - can select custom maximum filesize - Memory Viewer to view files and memory locations as HEX and TEXT - new file import/export functions: - A) Saturn <-> Saturn with joypad commands (no additional hardware needed) (inspired by similar 3DO feature) -> EXPORT with Button Command Viewer -> IMPORT with Button Command Editor - B) Saturn <-> PC with a human readable base64 file encoding -> EXPORT by typing base64 view showed on Saturn screen into a text file on PC via keyboard (no special viewer yet, uses Memory Viewer) - can save base64 view as file -> IMPORT by burning base64 encoded files (without any change) on CD-R and decoding them on Saturn (all existing ways to import saves to Saturn possible) - conversion tool between B) -> A) could be done on request - new Action Replay related features - more firmwares included (4) - flash with ANY file form any storage device in any subfolder (firmware header is checked to avoid flashing with non-firmware files) -> flash with homebrew games (untested) (need to be adapted for running from cart) - dump memory range to file -> make a firmware backup before reflashing - warning message if firmware to flash with would overwrite existing codes and save games on cart - better pad handling - recognizes pad disconnection - plug pad in any connector -> multi tap supported - first available pad on which buttons are pressed is taken - background image (LAVA) New features (THIRD release 05/11/13, v3): - the base64 feature is enabled -> exchange save games between Saturn <-> PC -> share save games with others, see Save Game eXchange in my fourm at www.rockin-b.de - speedup for compression/decompression - more available high work RAM (173 kB)|
