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.

    (writes input.bin to hex_address)
satlink -e hex_address sl.bin
