2) Send Gamesave – Sends Game-save data to the Saturn

First, click the 

Select Game Save

 button to choose a Game-save file for download to the Saturn.

If you typed a description when you saved the file, it will show up in the text box.  Once a file has
been chosen, the 

Begin Data Transmission

 button will become enabled.

**WARNING  sending the Game-saves to the Saturn will overwrite the entire
contents of the Saturn battery-backed ram.

As the transfer is occurring, the progress bar shows the status of the data transfer.  Also, while
data transfer is occurring, the LED indicator on the DataLink will be flashing rapidly.

Note:  To send a gamesave file created by an emulator, you can do the following:

Rename the SSF file "InternalBackupRAM.bin" to “*.dat”.

Rename the Cassini file "BKRAM1.bin" to “*.dat”.

Create a text file, with the same name as your “*.dat” file, to create a description.
