I'm pretty sure that the swap trick will not allow you to play imports. To play imports you have to have an ST-Key, modchip, etc. Swap trick only works with same region copied games.

To play imports you can simply alter the JUMPER SETTINGS in the machine.

These control jap,usa,uk games.

The swap trick is a little trickier with model one Sats,the laser seems to be a lot quicker.

:thumbs-up:

wrong

Modboards won't bypass the country code..

When booting a saturn game, the country codes are read after the protection ring, thus, if you leave the original cd spin a little more, saturn will read the IP.BIN from the original, and will boot the copy even if it is an import. This swap is trickier, but it's possible.

I think it's easier... you have the cd access led as a guide... after reading the protection ring, the light will flash 3 times, that's the exact timing for doing the 2nd swap (original->cdr).

I agree too. Swap is a pian with model 2. Too bad sega didn't furnish them with LEDs. I hear that there's a mod for some of the older model 2's for LED though.

The best media tends to come from Japan, since that's the homeland of Taiyo Yuden and Mitsui Toatsu. AFAICT current Fujifilm is made by Taiyo Yuden. As for burn speed, that depends heavily on the engineering quality of your burner, and slower is not always better. The only way to be sure is to test.
