I think you are referring to this o1s1n?

For a moment there I thought someone was after figuring out how to use the Saturn memory expansion port to play homebrew games :eek:

Still though, that's gorgeous.

Got mine today, might leave it until next week to try and fit it

STG.Otaku · 22-05-2014 12:36pm

Good man. Glad these are arriving safely.

Got mine

Just installed mine there. Works perfectly. Tried it with myst image burned at full speed too (they say you should use slower burn speeds)
A mistake i made first was using both ribbons that came with it. if your sega saturn is the 21 pin then throw the 20 pin in the bin. don't know why i assumed they were both 21 pin. Also dont forget to solder connection 0014 on mod chip.
as regards power supply i soldered directly to the bottom of the psu. pin 2 down (5 pin total).
No neutral needed. thought that was weird?? or maybe its on the ribbon connection.

STG.Otaku · 22-05-2014 10:16pm

Were you installing it on a Model 2?

moonlighting · 22-05-2014 10:42pm

ya model 2 (round buttons). i presume model 2s where sold in ireland?

STG.Otaku · 23-05-2014 8:09am

Ah gotcha. I'm going to install it in my Model 1 NTSC-J Saturn this weekend I think. The Model 2 install sounds a bit more complicated. With the Model 1 install, all it is is chucking in the chip, the ribbon cable and then run a piece of wire up to the 5v pin on the PSU. So basically 2 blobs of solder and a bit of cardboard with a liberal amount of kapton tape wrapped around the pcb and you're all set.

Hygro · 23-05-2014 12:32pm

Damn you model 2 for being a harder mod *shakes fists to the gods*.

Any chance moonlighting could make an instructional video?!

moonlighting · 23-05-2014 2:02pm

To late to make a vid now but if you have any issues post them here.

What's the best way for me to get a modded Saturn? If I were to buy a Saturn on eBay, is there anyone local that could mod it for me?

bumping this thread. before you mod your saturn, you might be interested in this new method. http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?52526-Saturn-proof-of-concept-bootloader-Pseudo-Saturn

You write a file to the action replay, patch the disk image and an unmodified saturn will boot it.
