Sega Saturn USB DataLink (Linux)

Satlink is a Linux utility that communicates with the Saturn USB DataLink to read memory, write memory, and launch Saturn homebrew. Satlink was developed because the original DataLink software was Windows only.

Examples

./satlink
Satlink v0.10
Satlink Usage:
satlink -b output.bin
    (dumps bios to output.bin)
satlink -r hex_address count output.bin
    (reads count bytes from hex_address to output.bin)
satlink -w hex_address input.bin
    (writes input.bin to hex_address)
satlink -e hex_address sl.bin
    (writes sl.bin to hex_address and then executes it)

Examples:
    satlink -b bios.bin
    satlink -e 0x06004000 sl.bin
