New To Saturn Burning, modchip question
Ozymandis1 - Jun 7, 2002

All right, I am fairly new to Saturn as far as burning games go, as I already own most of what I want.

My question: are there any Saturn modchips that let me avoid doing the swap trick? Where can I find one, how much are they, and how much soldering will I have to do?

Thanks in advance.

All modboards circumvent the need for swapping.

http://www.lik-sang.com... or http://www.lan-kwei.com... sell them.

They cost between 10-20 USD.

You need to solder two wires.

look what I fount at Lan Kwei:

SATELLITE

- serves as a cartridge to play import games on your console (no Modchip needed)

- compatible with all models

and Backups too ?

the modboard costs U$9, and at lik-sang it´s 18

what do you think ? mine is Model 2, 64 pin-IC

thanks !!

Sweet. I'll get one, as I'm tired of the swap, which often takes several tries

The Satellite only lets you play original import games. It does NOT let you play backups.

but the Lan-Kwei Modboard is good ?

Thanks !!

The mod board itself is good.

However, the jury is still out as to whether all 64 pin IC Saturns can be modded with one. I still can't find a good reason why not, but alot of evidence is against it.

I can get one for U$15,00 including shipping, it´s not too expensive, but I have the 64pin-IC model 2

maybe it work ? or is better don´t risk ?

I have two friends that have Saturn, I´ll see if any of them are the 32pin model, and maybe we can change

Thanks !!!
