1. Is it possible to transfer my gamesaves to my pc harddrive with that communications port on the top?
2. It refuses to copy saves from the saturn's memory onto the cart...it says something to the effect of "now copying data" and hangs on that screen...I haven't tried cleaning which would be the most obvious thing but if there's another reason for it I'd like to know.
1. Yes, but you need a DB25 connector and the software from EMS's website.
2. The AR does not support direct saving, (sorry if you already knew this).
If you are using the AR menu to transfer saves then you may need to reflash your card with a more recent BIOS.
