64 Pin IC , alternate place to solder Signal wire

[s8n]

howdy Saturn scene , i was wondering if there is an alternate place to solder the Signal wire for a Modchip instead of straight onto the 64 Pin IC.

Im talking about White Model 2 Saturns btw

I thought model 2 saturns don't even need that wire. Just bridge the A and B solder pads on the chip togheather usually.

hiya superdeadite thanks for replying , i read on www.segastyle.com that JPN 64 Pin Model 2's need it.

checkout this..........

Step 3: Alternative to A+B method.

If you have done the A+B method, then you can skip over this step if you wish or continue reading if you are interested on learning something extra. If you decide to solder to the pin (which is neccessary if you have a Japanese Saturn) solder signal wire A to the 8th pin on the IC. The image shows an arrow pointing to the correct pin.

I am inquiring if there is an alternative to soldering to the 8th Pin of the IC as it is quite difficult.

Yea I mentioned this in the other modchip topic we had.

I knew I saw that somewhere!

Unfortunately, no there isn't an alternate place. Best of luck, or find another Saturn... or even modchip! That's the only problem I have with the RacketBoy modchip. I loved it when I had a model 2 US system, but now that I have a model 2 JP system instead I had to settle with an alternative as I don't trust my soldering skills enough.

Assuming you bought it already, I would have suggested the Rob Webb one.

The problem is Rob's modchip don't have the installation headaches/problems Racketboy's does. People only see the Racketboy modchip question threads and think that's the only option. There's one every few months on every site I go to.

Best advertising Racketboy ever did was their modchip design

hi King Yart and synbiosfan thanks for your tips and help , atm i have 1 US Sega Saturn with a Racketboy Mod in it.

My plan is to get more Saturns i would especially like to get some White JPN Model 2's as they look superb.


I think as suggested i will buy some Rob Webb Modchips instead of Racketboys


Thanks again for your help guys
