Mod from jandaman

			Ok, i got my mod from jandaman a day or 2 ago. I did everything i could but no luck with my 64 pin model 2 saturn. I can only go as far as getting it to read audio tracks. So after reading the how to mod a 21 pin thread for a 4th time, i have come to this conclusion. Jandaman's, as well as the mod i got from Saturn-planet.com, mods do not work with 64 pin saturns. If you have a 32 pin saturn, im sure these will work great for you. Other than that, Jandamans service was quite good, very fast shipping and good communication. Another note, Saturn-planet's mods arent always the same one, it was stated that they send whatever mod they have available. So if you order from them, then you might get lucky and get a 64 pin compatible one. If anyone knows of any other saturn mod sources, please let me know.

			For my 64 pin Saturn, I had to make the modchip installed with the chips facing outwards. Did you try that? I'm going to try mod another Saturn and see the exact steps I take.

			Also, post the saturn model number you have

		Shitface		Jul 5, 2003
			Yeah, i did it with the mod facing out. I tried everything. BTW, my saturn model # is MK-80000A

			Interesting, that's like the exact same problem someone was having with that mod chip on a 32 pin saturn... I hope his current shipment or whatever isn't just dead or something ;

Well, i know it cant be a dead or fried mod because the cd drive spins and loads the cd audio tracks at least. If it was a dead mod, the cd drive wouldn't even spin.

			i recently got mine off jandaman for my 32 pin saturn and i have been having the exact same perdicament as you. it only reads audio tracks. i spent like a week trying different variations and could not get it to work. i am not sure of the problem but he is sending me a replacent to see how that works and has been very helpful. i just hope i can get this damn thing to work. by the way, how can u do it with the mod facing out, does thatw ork, if its facing out how can u hook the ribbon on it?

			You only need to have the mod facing outwards on a 64 pin Saturn. The mainboard has the ribbon cable slot the other way around, hence the twist in the cable.

			Well, I can gladly report that the Jandaman mod works just fine on my 32 Pin Saturn. Worked first crack, only had to solder the blue wire to B and the ed to +5v pin. Plugged it in. Booted Bomberman original. Then booted Shining Force 3 Backup. All is well. Shipping was $5 for the mod chip and a PC Magic Box (highly recommended as well) together and it took 5 working days to get to Saskatchewan. Not too shabby in my opinion. :cheers I recommend Jandaman to anyone. :smash

I'm pleased to say the same. My mod from Jandaman is working quite flawlessly. 32 pin Model 2, of course.

		Shitface		Jul 16, 2003
			Anyone get it working with a 64 pin model 2 saturn however?

		jandaman		Jul 19, 2003
			Did I send you a second modchip to try? Email me your info and I'll send another one. It's possible you have a faulty chip.

		chocodog		Jul 19, 2003
			i posted this on my frustration post but wasnt sure if jandaman read it, but that second chip he sent me a few weeks back ended up working and has continued as far. great service and thanks for the help.

			I am glad to see that jandaman has a good service. Just purchased some Xbox Component cables from his website, hope to get em soon

		Shitface		Jul 21, 2003
			Are RGB cables the same as Component cables? Me and my friend are in a big arguement about it.

		IBarracudaI		Jul 21, 2003
			by component you mean composite? composite is like 3 RCA plugs.. 2 for audio one for video.. all 3 connectors are equal. RGB connector is different. it has some pins in it. (also has the same 2 cables for sound as composite cables) i think.. i've never seen a rgb plug, here in europe we use scart cables As for video quality, RGB is much better than composite.

		Jaded God		Jul 21, 2003
			no, he is talking about component and RGB, not composite.

		mal		Jul 22, 2003
			Component and RGB are different.

		Jaded God		Jul 22, 2003
			Whoops, didn't realize you weren't talking to me.. Sorry
