The small text on the bottom of the cart is not worth getting out of bed for. The logo and Sega Saturn on the top speaks a thousand words!! How many times do we take our carts out to read the stuff at the bottom? I dare not even write on the thing!

Good effort Zyrods, tho the art work will be hidden inside the machine...
It's only the first two white bars that can be seen once plugged in - that's if it works out to be the same size once printed of course.

Ah while I remember, Virtua Fighter 2 (PAL). Game was updated as Lion's Stage music would not play on the original release. The updated version comes on a Blue disc, where the original was GREY. Keep an eye out for that, or if yours plays Lion's stage music in-game then cool.

Greetings!. Be advised there are more bad than good games if you go for the whole set. If your in no rush keep your eyes open here once your past 50 posts or on ebay for the right price. Sometimes it can be cheaper to buy another Saturn with a wad of games, could be worth looking into... and then shifting on what you don't want to then grab the things you do. I don't collect as such, got what I wanted many years ago which makes a collection or sorts! Have fun any way!

Wow that scan/image is sweet!
The (TM) after SATURN is almost lost from it's poor DPI on the actual cart, well mine is here anyway - tho you can see what it is of course. If the same happens once scaled down a bit more after being printed then don't worry about it, the original is not much better on the (TM).
You won't see the SEGA (TM) once it's plugged in.
Nice job on the quality Don!

Yeah the UK one never came with a spare sticker, mine didn't any way and was bought new from GAME back in JAN 96 when Sega Rally first released.
A floppy disc label might cover things up if cut to size if you can't find anything suitable, tho I can understand having something sticking out of the top of your machine you want it to look it's best.

Daytona USA PAL runs too fast in 60hz and even the credits for getting 1st, 2nd or 3rd place graphics will finish and exit out before the music even gets a chance to finish. She's a PAL game alright that has been tweaked to run at 50hz. They didn't slow the music down to make it all sync up lol.
Not all games make use of 14:9. The top and bottom can get chopped off especially on the later optimized full screen games and yes of course your zooming in. IF you can make better use of the screen then why not is all I'm saying. Not everyone has had the pleasure from lack of knowing or even understanding.

Daytona USA fits nicely in 14:9, yes that's 14:9 and displays at the correct pixel aspect ratio. It almost fills the screen on a widescreen TV. Going back tho, the original release of Daytona USA on Sega Saturn is one EPIC game and has done me proud for years! ;D Don't ever knock the game play over graphics... just saying. damn i'm good!

Yeah that's the way to go. If you can back up your saves to another cart your sorted.
Just double check your save does load before backing it up from a full switch off...
If it helps a clean system is a fresh start and it can be interesting starting some games over from scratch even tho you might be plenty pea'd at some you have put hours in to and lost. It's like living the dream all over again, those same rewards come from the games you enjoy the most. Or a cheat code can get somethings unlocked with a bit of luck.

A bit of bad luck. This happens with the official carts too as that's what I use. Some where the cart has been corrupted by a save bug messing up the file system and why the Saturn can't make sence of it. I have seen this from playing the odd Japanese import on my PAL Saturn. You can try deleting the files, but I just wiped and formatted the lot. I've even had PAL Alien Trilogy corrupted the cart when a game has been saved to it, but what it did was save the game to the internal memory...? Yeah a total cart and internal wipe and years worth of fast times and high scores gone forever. Sorry to give you bad news. Not your fault either, just one of those rare things that happens from time to time. Sorry man! Maybe some one can give you a better answer as to why it happens, but my take on it when it happened was a total wipe. Not seen it since mind.

How about a Solar Panel or Fan out of a Dreamcast and start you own mini wind farm to power the clock...

You may find the official lead that came with the machines suffers with audio noise. Any white or a lot of it on screen then you may hear a slight buzz with the volume up. Depending on TV model may also depend on how loud it could be. Not to bad on my Commodore RGB screen, but on the Toshiba it's slightly louder... Can't hear it mind when game audio is pumping out lol.
