Okay. Ever since I got my Sega Saturn, It always asked me to set the time and date and crap when I turn it on. Now, when I got NiGHTS, I played it so much! Then, when I turned it off for the night, little did I know that..
THE GAME NEVER SAVED. *shot* So I had to beat all of Claris' stages.. AGAIN. Well, I guess it was okay, because Mystic Forest's music and Jackle's music are awesum. XD Do I have to get that memory card thing? Or do I have to get a new Saturn?

Oh, that's nothing major. Run down to your local RadioShack (or CVS, Walgreens, or some other store that sells watch and hearing aid batteries) and pick up a CR2032 battery ($3ish). On the back of your Saturn there's an access port on the left that opens and reveals a battery compartment. Put the battery in positive-side up in the circular tray, or replace the one that's already there.

The Saturn uses volatile (power required) memory, so that battery keeps your saves after you turn off the Saturn. It lasts a year or two in my case. I would still recommend getting a backup RAM cart as that can save data without any battery whatsoever.

Hope that helps :)

Thats, you two! One more question. Will I lose my data if I replace the battery before It dies out?

yes, you can't break the connection. You need some kind of memory card.

E: I like the action replay. But it's not the only one.
