Sega Saturn DIY Link Cable

[richi902]

hi,

since the link cable for saturn is pretty rare i thought about making my own.
dose anyone know how to connect the pins of 2 saturn's together?
i couldnt find anything with google sadly :/ just some cool stuff with sd adapters.
i'm not afraid of soldering other connectors to the mainboards of the saturns.

I'd imagine it would be possible to just solder a secondary plug on the bottom connectors of the communication port, as long as you use the same plug pinout on both consoles. Another project for another day I suppose...

[_shameless_]

someone did something like this for the same reason. he just soldered another port on and wired an adapter to that one

i thought about adding a standart serial male connector to the saturn and building link cable with serial female connectors much like a null-modem cable.
need to check how many pins the saturn serial port has first, and if all are needed :/.
