Here's the link to it brand new on amazon for only 30 bucks. It's also a ram card, so you can play any game with this thing, and it's also a memory card. A definite must have for the Saturn!
I bought the 4 in 1 cart from amazon: (this is the exact one I bought from the exact seller I bought it from ) https://www.amazon.com/Action-Replay-4M-Plus-enhancement-sega/dp/B008FPMBNG/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-drs1_0
I flashed it with Pseudo Kai and it runs Xmen VS Street Fighter and the like just fine
Sorry to bother you again but can you link to the preferred instructions of flashing a stock AR card with Memory Card Plus?
Finally, I plan to order this specific AR card. Seeing how there are clones everywhere, is this the right one?

I would buy this instead: https://www.amazon.com/Action-Replay-4M-Plus-enhancement-sega/dp/B008FPMBNG/
You are less likely to get scammed by Amazon. Also, Prime shipping and y9u will get a refund if it's shit.
That website you linked looks like it will give you aids if you are not careful.
Get the 4 in 1 Action Replay Cart. This will allow you to play imports, 4mb ram for games that require it, 1mb ram for games that require it, and act as a backup ram cart for saving your games. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FPMBNG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_SPCDRT5TWRWEC03M45N3
Buy this. Then find a guide on the Internet for how to flash PSK onto it. This method requires that you have at least one genuine Saturn game (even a $1 sports game) but I don't think you can get the carts much cheaper. Maybe they're cheaper direct from a seller in China through AliExpress but you will wait several weeks for delivery.
I've been using one of those carts (which I flashed myself) for years and it works very well.
I have that same one. It works perfectly.
Not sure where you ordered it from, but I got mine from Amazon, and it's got 4.7 stars so it looks like the majority of people have had a good experience with it.

Import games are relatively cheap. Probably cause in Japan the Saturn saw much more success. So provided you are good with import gaming it’s worth it in my opinion. Just be sure to get one of these .
Edit: I should specify. Import versions of games that were released here tend to be a lot cheaper comparatively. Games that are exclusively imports will probably still fetch a large price.
Do you clean the pins with a cleaning solution or anything? My AR cart is really clean to be honest, as I've kept a cloth cover over the entire Saturn when it wasn't in use..the cartridge slot on the system looks pretty good too. To be honest, I think the AR cart is just toast..I am super nervous about stressing the drive motor at this point and feeling like I should just get an AR cart replacement.
I forgot to mention the type of AR cartridge I've been using:

I'm wondering if this one is low quality and prone to failure?

does the sticker look like the one in the OP link or like this: https://www.amazon.com/Action-Replay-4M-Plus-enhancement-sega/dp/B008FPMBNG/
How's your Japanese? Imports are a great way to get Saturn games at a better price, & there's a lot of titles where you'll need zero to minimal ability to read the language to play. No modding needed, either! Just grab an Action Replay 4M Plus! It's a combination save cart/cheat device/region boot cart, lets you play most anything! I recommend it- I also recommend Kururin Pa! It's an interesting lil' arcade puzzle game where you make & light fuses that can be had for around 20 bucks, no problem. Plus, it's almost fully in English (I think only character names & the title are written in Japanese), so it's very import friendly! Here's a gameplay video!
I bought mine on Amazon a long time ago. I can’t vouch for the quality of the ones being sold these days but here’s a link to one: https://www.amazon.com/Action-Replay-4M-Plus-enhancement-sega/dp/B008FPMBNG/. Since you’d just be using the firmware of the Memory Card Plus, you shouldn’t run into issues (at least I haven’t). You do have to use the flasher tool that comes with Pseudo Saturn Kai though so you’ll have to run a burned disk at least once which means either doing the swap trick or buying a different cartridge that already comes flashed with Pseudo Saturn Kai.
Sweet! Now go get one of these Action Replay Plus carts and watch this tutorial. And remember to use high-quality CDRs!
You can get the Action Replay 4MB Plus cart with a black Saturn. That way, you could play all the imports without the Japanese model

Is there any differences I got this one from amazon https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/4M-Plus/dp/B008FPMBNG/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=HKEMS&qid=1606492948&sr=8-6
There are dozens of 4MB RAM carts with included import playing capabilities. https://segaretro.org/Saturn_third-party_RAM_cartridges
I have an ST-KEY which has a switch on the front for the few games which require the 1MB cart. I also have an Action Replay all-in-one similar to this which will allow playing for most games.
Essentially there are 2 games that use ROM carts. (KoF95 and Ultraman) which as far as I know there is no specific carts that provide the ROMs as well as region defeating. All of the others can be played on any saturn using third party carts.
I purchased this one and flashed Kai light to it and it has worked amazingly well for Action Replay 4M Plus - Ultimate enhancement for your Saturn console https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FPMBNG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xgMwFbBJQ9DFJ
here's one I have no idea how reputable that site is. I just use this with Psuedo Saturn
What are you searching for? Type in Action Replay 4M Plus. https://www.amazon.com/Action-Replay-4M-Plus-enhancement-sega/dp/B008FPMBNG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507422534&sr=8-1&keywords=Action+replay+4m+plus
Don't forget a way to play imports I'd recommend the Action Replay for the Sega Saturn. Also is a memory card of sorts and lets you play the awesome 1 meg or 4 meg ram games. The ram cart only import games include fighters from snk and capcom, which are nearly arcade perfect. The only other way to make a saturn region free is by installing a region free switch
