This is why i can't believe that there were 4 offcial regions for the saturn. Multi seems to generally mean PAL systems (Oz, Euro, etcs). Unless someone can produce the jumper setting and show a case that shows Asia PAL or Asia NTSC (whichever one it was supposed to be), then i can't count it in. If someone can produce pics of the disc of an original game set for this mystery region, then i could probably count it.
all the system shells i've seen only have 3 regions mentioned...USA, JPN, and Multi.
Antipasta, it's entirely possible that your system's life began in 1995. It's my guess that the production on a revised board begins several months before those revised boards it the market...the PS2 is a great example....they announced the SCPH-50000 series when it was jsut about ready to go into the market, but in order to announce it, the board was probably being revised as early as a year ago.
my April 1996 system (O-21/64) began it's life in 1995, according the the copyright markings on the *BOTTOM* of the main board:
Note: Controller port and LED board is a seperate component on this model.
