Further details in the official readme & website

This is a boot cart for the Sega Saturn

It's running custom software called - Pseudo Saturn Kai

The main purpose is to boot any game with region free mode AND play Backup games in your unmodified Saturn from burnt CD-R discs. Our advanced carts can also provide the 1MB and 4MB expansion RAM that some games require.

This allows you to:

1. Region free function, so you can boot any game from any region.
2. Play backup games on CD-R in your unmodified Saturn console*
3. Image selection menu for Rhea/Phoebe, Fenrir and Satiator ODEs.
4. Game Cheats
5. In-game system reset with A+B+C+Start key combination.
6. Save Data Manager 8MB, similar to the one provided by Saturn's BIOS.
7. Expanded 1MB / 4MB RAM functions on the advanced cart**

 * Booting copied CD-R discs does work, but you need to ensure your laser is powerful enough to read them. Our advice is to test it out with a copied audio disc first and see if your console reads it.

**There are two models of this cart available. Only the advanced cart has the RAM feature.

Usage Instructions:

1. Make sure your Pseudo Saturn is inserted while the Saturn is off
