Feature request: Option to access System Memory Manager and boot games without redirecting SRAM. #131

Current firm can only handle SaroSave and Cartridge Memory. If you want to use SRAM and CartMem, the code must be rewrite ... |

I'm facing the same challenge. |

I managed to export the Albert's save game from Saroo into the internal console memory. Now I will be able to continue the game where I left it and see if those issues reported also happen with Pseudo Saturn Kai. |
From what I've read and experimented, the Saroo behaves as follows when a game is launched:
Request: I would like an option to disable SRAM redirection (# 2 above) when launching games or the Multiplayer. This could be assigned to a button such as X. For example, pressing X+A would launch the selected game without SRAM redirection. X+Z would do the same but launch Multiplayer. This single feature would enable many useful things:
Easy save persistence when switching between Saroo, and other methods of game launch. Sometimes a user may want to keep their saves on SRAM so they can be used with a real disc or other methods of launching backups, yet still accessible when playing games through Saroo. They would simply launch the game with X+A to use SRAM.
Save transfer from SaroSave to SRAM. A user would be able to transfer a save from SaroSave to SRAM with the following process:
Advanced save transfer from SRAM to SaroSave. The above process can be performed in reverse to migrate saves from SRAM to SaroSave. According to Original save game #117 this can be done automatically when a game is launched, but I would prefer to have fine control over the transfer.
Save transfer between SRAM and PC. A user could transfer a save from SRAM to Cartridge Memory, then use PC utilities to extract that save from the files on the SD card. The same process in reverse could allow transferring a save from PC back to SRAM.
As you can see, this one simple feature could allow free transfer of saves between SRAM, SaroSave, Cartridge Memory, and PC. Thus avoiding the need to buy additional hardware to perform the same task.
Thanks
