			get the mod chip. can't any simpler than that I'd say... now how to put the thing inside your V-Saturn is another story altogether... read the thread as it should cover most of your question and am sure mal will agree with me...

			Hummm Where can i buy the mod chip Which will work on my V-saturn??..... It's the rg-jx2 i beleive....... thanks guys! Does it require soldering? (is it easy to mess it up & break it forever?) tell me about it...

			You can find it here! http://www.jandaman.com/games.mvc?p=satmod&categor... what model is your saturn anyway? because there are 23 kinds of saturn the model-1 which has an oval shaped power & reset buttons and the model-2 which has a round power and reset buttons

This statement is probably closer to the truth than most people realize.

			http://www.firebane.net/satmod/... i have the same console as there ... same shape same color it's the same thing.... v-saturn (victor) i think it must be the same thing theres no 10000 model of the v-saturn that color same buttons & stuff

			from that guide you will probably has to solder blue wire to IC as according to mal no JPN Saturn works with A-B bridge method...

			AFAIK the V-Saturn is almost identicle to a Sega Saturn so you shouldn't see any problems with any mod. Just buy one and install it already. That is assuming that yours is a model 2 Saturn...

Nope, you need to read more closely.

I've modded Japanese Saturns using the 'A+B' method - it's only 32 pin Saturns that don't have the crystal on the CD board that it doesn't work with.
