Old thread but i have essentially the same question. My Japanese copy of Outrun won't play past the Sega intro screen . I have a PAL model 2 with region mod and 60hz switch. Is there a Japanese version of the game that will work? Any way to identify it from the packaging?

Would be interested in this too - have a white Saturn and I'd like to get Sega Ages Outrun for it and the flog my PAL Sega Ages.
EDIT: just checked satakore.com and it states there is a 2nd revision of the game that works on all models. I don't see any info on how to tell the revisions apart though...

Out of curiosity, why won't it work on model II machines? Can't say I've ever heard of this issue before on Saturn!

you need to check the matrix info on the cd to know which revision it is: GS-9110P-01050-P...: 1st rev GS-9110P-01050A-P... 2nd rev, you need this one, A just after 01050
But difficult to see on photos on eBay as it is a layer that is too reflective, as the cd were made on IFPI L231 or 237 factories. So you may ask the seller about the matrix info, if they are willing to reply...
From my memory, the 1st revision does not work on later model of saturn due to the design of 2 chips on the motherboard that were redesigned into 1 chip, instead of 2 separate chips, on later models. And the code of the game does not work correctly with this new 2-in-1 chip. zyrobs may tell you more about this.

Yes. excellent information.....have a query off to a seller right now as I've decided to take the plunge and get a copy. I might just fork out for a white 3D controller as well.

1 unsuccessful enquiry so far for me (Steve666b), it's the older version. He's a good seller BTW.

Tried another seller but I think the language barrier has prevented my question being answered. We leave that one where it is! The seller answered: Yes, if it is Sega Saturn in Japan it will move. I suspect google translate has let us down!!

Satakore is the best site for revision information they list the different versions where known. www.satakore.com/sega-saturn-game,,GS-9110,,OutRun-JPN.html As the others have said there are two versions of Outrun, in order to get it to run on a Model 2 version you need the version with this CD Matrix GS-9110P-01050A. I have one with this number and it works perfectly on my PAL Modded Model 2 Sega Saturn, in short make sure it has an (A) at the end of the number.

In addition space harrier is like this as well. Not sure why this is.. What im asking is it's a sega saturn game meant for the saturn. How did this manage to happen how would one model saturn read discs different than the next? Did they use something different in the parts?

Thought this might be helpful. I also had the same problem. For all model 2 Saturns, Skeleton and This Is Cool Saturns you need the serial code on in the inner ring of the disk ending with P1K. Those are the reprints.
The codes ending P1C are first print runs and will only work with Model 1's
