Cart swapping is a no-no in my book, the other 2 is In the Hunt, and a Ultraman title), every other import should play fine. The latest version of the Action Replay Plus 4 in 1 actually plays Capcom games just fine as it runs 4MB (SF Zero 3, Vampire Savior, Marvel SH Vs Capcom, X-Men Vs Street Fighter, Pocket Fighter), and can run SNK stuff just fine that requires 1 MB of memory (Metal Slug, KoF 96 and 97, Sam Sho 3 and 4, etc). The US side of the Saturn is just plain dry on a lot of great fighting games, and other arcade ports.
