Hey Guys,

I was surfing ebay when I came across this:

What is a victor saturn? What makes it so special? Is it more powerful??

 Tepes Dec 28, 2002
Well to me it seems just like a Jap Saturn, nothing too big, the Pic doesn't look trustworthy at all, but if the guy has enough positive feedbacks and so on, and you want a Jap Saturn then get it.

The V-Saturn was manufactured by JVC and looks slightly different, but otherwise it is an ordinary Saturn. Hitachi also made a Saturn model, called the Hi-Saturn.

It is a saturn just like any other... it's just that it isn't manufactured by SEGA, it was made by JVC (Victor in Japan)... That one has no extras... I think...

The Hi-Saturn, which is manufactured by Hitachi has built-in MPEG 1 support... there's no need for the VCD Card with this one...

Not built-in, but came bundled with the machine.

 IBarracudaI Dec 28, 2002
Yes I knew that it was built-in, correctly speaking... but thank for the correction anyway...

Actually, that's my auction. The system does comes with everything and it is in mint condition. I was too lazy to take pics, but if anyone wants any. Let me know

This saturn is a rare find, and it has been modified to play all games. That includes burned CDs. It also includes the 4-1 Meg ram cart.

If anyone from SegaXtreme buys it, I will include a Wireless Controller for free. Just let me know who you are

Thanks!!

Wow, nice.... but alot of money. And I don´t need a modded special rare saturn... I just need a modded saturn. Does anyone know a place were they sell modded saturns (yes I know you can pick up a modchip for ~$20, but I really suck @ soldering a 64-pins model2 saturn ) ..... propably nowere anymore ???

From time to time I'll buy a Saturn, mod it, and sell it on eBay. I've got some new stuff coming in, so you might watch in the future. As for now, you might scan the Buy/Sell/Trade... forum for people selling their own modded Saturns.

 Lyzel Dec 28, 2002
Yeah. Hehe, I screwed up 2 Saturns trying to get the mod in

I hate to sell this Saturn, that's why the high price If you can pay that much though, then great Ya know?

 PhObIc Dec 28, 2002
Yeah, I´d would hope some online retailer who sells modchips and saturns would offer premodded ones... they could ask alot of money for them... guess they can´t be bothered with making money

The thing with buying stuff from people ,as in no retailers, you get no garantee... so I´m a bit resiliant on that matter. ???

Guys, if you get the right modboard, it is just as easy to mod a 64 pin Saturn as a 32 pin Saturn.

Read the thread... at the top of the Saturn forum.

One of these days I'll rewrite it, I promise. ::

 PUNJABEE Dec 28, 2002
Yeah, mal is right. Its a one wire job! Even I was able to mod 4 saturns properly!

 PhObIc Dec 29, 2002
Mmmmm, yeah I´ve read through the entire thread now..... it does seem easy´.. if it works... guess I´ll have to surf to gamegizmo sometime soon. "Unfortuanatly" my Saturn is in germany (my neihbouring country) in a gameshop were they still sometimes mod saturns (YEAH I found one)... so I hope they can get the bloody thing running.. if not I´ll try the MAL-mod

 PhObIc Dec 29, 2002
Ow yeah @ mal

Yeah a nice guide with pictures would be nice... I like pictures ::

 mal Dec 29, 2002
I'll soon have a digital camera to play with for a while.

 IBarracudaI Dec 29, 2002
hehe, can we expect many SEGA tech related fotos??

 mal Dec 29, 2002
Sure, but I won't be taking many Saturn pics.

Properly rewriting a mod installation guide is an afterthought.

 IBarracudaI Dec 29, 2002
Having a mod installation guide with pics would be very helpfull for many people...
