Robs V2 modchip on model 1 console?

[iCEQB]

Hi all,

the title actually says it all. Is there a way to modify robs V2 modchip to work with model 1 (PAL) consoles ?
V1.1 modchips still had 20 pin connectors on them, which rocked imo :Rock:.

If there isn't anything known about such modification, maybe someone could get us high res pics of V2 (and maybe V1.1) so we might get it done w/o much hassle.

Thanks,
iCEQB

if my memory serves right there used to be a thread over at SegaXtreme Forum...

It would be simpler to get a VA2/3 Saturn. 21pin guts, model 1 frame.

Thanks for the answer, but I might need a little assistance to find that thread you're talking about :confused:

I found these where they kidna refer to my question, but the information in these threads are either broken or they contracidt themselfs :confused::

I was curious about this too. I believe I saw a guide, but I never tried it myself.

Turns out my model 1 is a 21 pin anyway. I'll have a rummage..

[iCEQB]

Thanks for the answers guys ... but believing that you saw something or anything before doesn't actually help me :(
So a site or info would be the best answer, since I'm also somehow finding tiny bits of evidence that such a guide exists ... but I can't find it :D

So if someone knows where to find such a guide, please help me ;)

Thanks you,

I just got a mint 1995 Model 1 Saturn 3 weeks ago, so I would also be interested in this as well.

You should check the board, my motherboard says 1995 but it actually had a 21 pin laser.

Just installed a V2 modchip today and it's working great.

Just check the serial number on the back of the console for the board number (8th number from right to left). If it's 2 or 3, it's a 21pin machine with a 64pin cdrom controller IC.

Thanks for that!

I actually have one of those and a extra modchip so I'm going to do it.

That's a VA5 board, same as VA3 but in a model 2 case.

If you have a camera, can you post a picture of the serial?
