i did try that,but seems like the ribbon cable is short and its too difficult to keep the mod chip in place.if i remember correctly that was a problem,and somewhere they were selling longer ribbon cables..

[alphagamer]

http://www.consolegoods.co.uk/ sells ribbon cables, measure if they are longer than yours (they sell 7.2cm long ones)

[ninjux]

It says:NOT long enough for other purposes(it's just the one that connects the mod chip to the motherboard-not to the cd drive)
maybe if i find a ribbon connector(female-male) and extend to of these..

[alphagamer]

maybe its easiest to just buy a model 2 saturn ;-)

This is great :D

i do have a modded model 2,but i want to mod my model 1 too!if anyone can help let me know

[retro]

Help in what way? Even if you find an original chip, you won't want to pay the price they go for!!

[ninjux]

if they are so expensive why did they stop their production?there are too many model one saturns out there,and most of them are in ebay.maybe that's why they only sell model one because they cannot mod them

[DC_Fan]

Definitely easier to find the chips for model 2.

Is that not obvious? The 20 pin drive was used for a short time. They then switched to the 21 pin configuration and used it for ALL Saturns. It made much more sense to make mod chips for the current Saturns, as the vast majority of Saturns were (and still are) 21 pin.

Of course they can mod them! Why do you think Sega changed the configuration in the first place? Just like Sony, they don't want people modding their consoles and pirating their games, so make it hard for them to do so.

Sanyo board from memory was used in the model 2 type configuration~ no?

[raylyd]

i have two sega saturns one sanyo saturn model 2 and model one 20 pin saturn

[dj898]

Interesting~
Haven't seen the model one with the Sanyo board inside but then I haven't had much dealing with Saturn models other than JPN versions...

[sayin999]

Is the metal shielding short true? Cause I had a model 2 saturn I modded and I dropped it slightly on the table never worked again.

[raylyd]

yes its true

I can get them but I have to buy 100, and I don't know if I can sell that many, even at $12 a pop

You'd likely be able to cram them into Saturns and sell the whole thing for a nice price. Not sure how keen you'd be on that idea though.

$12 for a Saturn chip would be a real steal. Usually don't see them for less than $25 or $30.

Edit: If anyone wanted one of those hacked for a model 1 Saturn I could probably do it. Doesn't look that hard but then again my soldering skill is pretty good.

Wait, what? Hook me up with that info. I have a STOCKPILE of various saturns.

Ditto. I'd love to try my hand and putting a m2 chip into an "unhackable" Saturn. Whoo!

Can't find ANY Saturn chips ANYWHERE at all. No model 1s or model 2s, I'd likely find an M2 for sale at the flea market before I find a Saturn chip.

Would gladly spring for a small supply.

hi mate how much for 100 mod chips in usd + shipping to the uk

I'd love to get a mod chip for the 20pin saturn. Where can I find one??? :icon_bigg

[Whomper]

Add me to the list of people who would love to get hold of a 20-pin Saturn Mod. Model 2s are pretty hard to find here in New Zealand.

[Segata Sanshiro]

I just found this as I'm interested in doing the switchless mod to a model 1 and having it chipped too.
