Now my JP Model 1 machine freezes  Just this morning 3 games in a row froze within minutes of starting. The music keeps playing but the image is frozen and non-responsive. I knew today was going to be shit when I woke. |

Hopefully Zyrobs might be able to help you sort this one out Rossi. Saturns have a habit of doing this I'm afraid. Quite annoying!  |

Some models have some compatibility problems. Look if your Saturn have these problems.

There are a total of, like, two games which have incompatibility issues.
More and more Saturns seem to do the "black screen on boot" error, I don't know what is causing the issue or how to fix it. Beyond normal diagnostic steps like cleaning the boards and recapping.

This is a massively long shot and I'm sure it's nothing Zyrobs hasn't already thought, but I had a friend's machine that kept doing this and the BIOS chip just... Looked bad, could be worth noting down maybe

I don't get much time to play this machine these days, but it hasn't missed a beat until this morning. The games I was playing have all had lengthy outings in the past and all have mint disks. They were Nissan Overdrivin' GT, Dynamite Dekka and Leynos 2.
Each time, the screen would freeze, but the music continued.
Since I got back home, I've played Astal for 45 mins and had no issues.
I'll see how it does tonight.
