		Can burnt pal and jap games be played in a modded american saturn?

		Gallstaff	Aug 16, 2002
		no, not unless you have a region switch mod or an import-device OR unless when you burnt them you changed the region codes in satconv.

		BasketballASA	Aug 16, 2002
		Oh, I see.... how about the swap trick?

		Curtis	Aug 17, 2002
		No you still need to use a converter/use a cartridge.

		Also be aware that some Euro (PAL) games are actually PAL optimized and will overscan on a NTSC TV. I don't think there are that many though.

		This whole thread would have been unnecessary if you had bothered to do your own research first. There is a ton of information available on this very site, but it is up to you to find it.

Like if its japanese text in the game like "press start", will it become american text? Hey, stranger things have happened.

		nope, it wouldnt change, it just allows your sega saturn to accept the CD as if it was a domestic game

		*slaps hand on head in shame* theres no 'automatic' way to translate a game

		Gallstaff	Aug 17, 2002
		what is this, star trek? And if there were, we wouldn't have to sit through that god awful intro movie of zero wing now would we?

		Hey, they have it for PSX games!

		mal	Aug 18, 2002
		Aren't those PSX owners lucky?

		Gallstaff	Aug 18, 2002
