Heh, no, the guy actually thinks that the cart slot is for "older games."
I cannot test the game slot (for older games) as I do not have the A/V cord.

this is a dumb question but what does the cart slot on a saturn do?

Memory expansion in ROM and RAM format (for certain games). Memory allocation for certain games (aka memory card).

Adds extra RAM (used mainly in Neo-Geo ports) and allows for memory cards (non-volatile; you won't lose your saves).

Heh, pretty funny. Pretty easy to see why the seller thinks that though. It does look like it could fit Genesis games, doesn't it?
Heh, don't you all wish it were true, in a way? I know I do.

Why the hate? These kind of auctions are the best ones. These listing mistakes and the like are where some of the best deals on Ebay come from. Once in a while I intentionally search for misspelled games looking for something that might fly under the radar. Why hello there, Mr. Panzer Dragon Sega.

Agreed, also it probably works fine. He said he doesn't have an AV cable and the disc doesn't spin. All that means is the system has a dead battery and is booting to the setup screen.

Heh, that got a chuckle out of me. Panzer Dragon Sega
Still, you do have a good point. When stuff is misclassified, you can get some really good deals.

Reminds me of my copy of Radiant Slivergun I picked up for 117.00. I didnt even notice the spelling mistake until after I won the auction.

Heh, looks like the seller had the item re-listed with a more accurate description, and then ended it prematurely.

Thats a pretty sad auction. One big fail for mankind. Obviously he doesnt know that when a system is called "Saturn" it doesnt mean its actually called "Dreamcast"

I love THIS part:
I do not know what is wrong with the unit,
the power comes on but the disk will not spin.
Maybe the problem is he is trying to load Dreamcast games......X_x

I hope he havent tried to stick genesis games to the cartridge slot... :D
And just to add: the carts for saturn arent only for memory. There are ones that removes the region thingys. Meaning that you can play PAL games on a USA console etc.
