My Sanyo Board

psilocybe - Feb 18, 2005

		psilocybe		Feb 18, 2005
			I am planning on trying to find a aug/sept/oct of 96 saturn atm as they are most likely to be 32 pin IC model 2's, but for now as far as I know there are only maybe 5-10 people that have sucessfully modded the 64pin IC with sanyo boards. I was wondering if anyone that has modded a sanyo board could post what they had to do differently than the normal solder direct to ribbon, change chip to 0019, flip board around, etc etc and any combo of those to get it to work as well as what mod board they used. also since i don't really see any pics of these systems anywhere i took some pictures of mine (not great pics but not THAT bad) http://xbash.info/saturn/... also i was wondering what that little board on the lower left hand of the mobo is that has the 3 wires soldered to it and why it wasn't just made part of the mobo isntead of an extra board

			nice pics but they're too blurry, looks like you zoomed in too much

		psilocybe		Feb 18, 2005
			no zooming, the camera is just a pos anyway looks like i messed something up now as i was in the process of putting it back together so i could sell and have money for another one, and now it doesn't read games, just goes to the audio menu with a green cube in each of the ovals on the side of the screen. i'm assuming this is what it normally looks like, not really sure only booted the system once and played 2 rounds of virtua fighter2 before i cracked it open EDIT messed with the 2 ribbon cables and now the cubes are brown and they are bouncing up and down. no longer stationary and green, guess gotta keep messin with them cables

			can you play any original games? all you really have to do is follow this guide: http://www.mikeg2.freeserve.co.uk/satmod/...

A Sanyo CD board is not the same as a CD board with the 64 pin IC.

This is what a 64 pin CD board looks like:

			ah, i just figured the 64pin chip on the mobo was the same IC but in a different location also forgot i saw that short tutorial on the sanyo board, but the only problem is that it doesn't mention which chip that is, i was planning on getting one of rocketboy's chips. i guess if anyone knows if his chips will work with the sanyo boards then i'll tear this beast apart and get it in regular working condition again (so it atleast plays originals) and order one of his boards, otherwise i've found 3 saturns with a mfg date of aug/sept/oct 96 well i can't get this xbox to do anything but the bouncing brown cubes now, guess i definately need to buy another system, probably easy to fix, but no matter what i do this isn't wroking out for me

unfortunately no, i can't get it to boot games at all right now, so i didn't order a board

		mrkotfw		Feb 20, 2005
			i don't understand, why did you take it apart the first time?

		psilocybe		Feb 20, 2005
			so i could see what version it was of course and i finished taking it all the way apart so that i could check out the video region jumpers and such so i'd know how to mod that up

		mrkotfw		Feb 20, 2005
			but it doesn't want to play any originals? does the cd cdrive even spin?

		psilocybe		Feb 20, 2005
			yes it does i've tried numerous times to reset the ribbon cables and no luck at all

		mrkotfw		Feb 20, 2005
			this is a japanese saturn, correct? did you try to use an original japanese game? i'm asking obvious questions because the simplest mistake can turn out to be the longest to decypher.

		psilocybe		Feb 21, 2005
			it was a US ntsc box it's giving the infamous green cubes in the audio player and sometimes yellow/brown that bounce

		mrkotfw		Feb 26, 2005
			psilocybe, i'm wondering if you could do me a favor: could you take clear pictures of the bottom of your sanyo cd board please?

		mal		Feb 26, 2005
			It's a bit fuzzy but will this do? :/

		mrkotfw		Feb 26, 2005
			thanks. btw, do you happen to have any pictures centaur2... has taken back in 2003? a bit blury but thanks. the post is here....

		mal		Feb 26, 2005
			No, I didn't get any of those. If you need a better pic I could always try scanning it...

		mrkotfw		Feb 26, 2005
			i just need to know where exactly i need to solder to. i have a HST-0019 sega saturn with a sanyo cd board. i was thinking i could try his way of modding the saturn. that would be great if you could! i managed to save a few pics from looking through the internet. but what i really need is the 5th... picture!

		psilocybe		Feb 28, 2005
			got my new saturn today, good ol 80000A 32pin IC /me runs to order modboard
