Also one thing that was annoying me, is that the Saturn would not boot if the metal RF shield was not screwed down. This made testing a pain in the ass. It looks like the RF shield covers some ground points on the board, so most likely its used as a ground. Do you have to put the shield on every time you want to test the motherboard? Or is there a way to get around this? Good job on fixing it, but a pirated copy of Dark Saviour? Aren't you a little old for that shit? Stealing is for penniless kids. Not going to get into a flame war over this, but unless Climax Entertainment re-release this game for the Saturn I'm not stealing from them at all. The game retails for well over £50 in this country still which doesn't go to the games creators but a second hand reseller, but that's what a mod chip is for isn't it? The whole point was to test that the mod chip works. No need to throw in the "penniless kids" insult. And I'll add that most copies on ebay by now are fairly scratched so how long will they last for? Thats what cdr backups are for. |

Thats what cdr backups are for. I got a pristine Japanese version for about £6. A nice, legit thing. Not a blank CDR with some ugly permanent marker on it. And I thought you were installing the modchip for region-free. Guess not!  |

Don't worry about it, modchips don't let you go region free. That's what the action replay cart is for. I am collecting original JAP games due to the cost and generally better versions of games, but there is no point opening the entire system up to mod to 60hz and not fit a modchip whilst you're there.
Main reason is that I've always wanted to play Shining force III scenario 2 and 3, and the translated versions are obviously cdr only. This Dark Saviour was just to test the chip works as I pointed out before. Saturn cases are also often crap and the discs get scratched very easily even when put away. Its another reason to use cdr backups, put the real disc away in a disc holder and put the cdr in the case.
