The only carts I know of that can boot games from other regions are the GameShark (do not use this - it will fuck up your cart slot because the PCB is too thick) and the Action Replay. The Action Replay can also act as a RAM cart (both 1 and 4 Meg), cheat device and store save game data. The only downside is that you cannot save to the AR in-game (you can only transfer to/from the system memory). But honestly, you can get the Saturn AR brand new for $30-35 shipped. Every Saturn owner should pick one up. It's like a Swiss Army Knife for the Saturn.
Also, I noticed a seller on eBay selling Sega brand Saturn Backup RAM carts for $12 shipped. They're JPN versions, but can be used on any NTSC console.
After a GameShark fucked up my Saturn's cart slot, I'm very apprehensive about trying other 3rd party carts. The Action Replay never gave me a problem, but I'll stick to the genuine Sega Backup RAM cart. That Saturn cart slot has such tiny pins, they seem to be very easy to distort.
