Not all Model 2s do that, keep in mind. The one you have is just the one that has the worst case of it. Getcha! If I were to buy another how can I tell what revision the colnsole is and is there some sort of chart or referance to go on so I can make sure im buying one without this issue? Or... Is there any members on this board that can help me in the future with buying ect? Sorry for all the questions, new here lol

I have wanted a Saturn for years and after getting myself a Mega CD I picked up a Saturn. I'm now building up a nice collection. Shame some of the imports I want are pricey but ill enjoy what I can afford. It's been a bit of a nightmare with the Saturn so far but at least now I have a perfect working Model 1. I have also got myself about 10 games so far as well as getting rid of those horrible MK 1 controllers and replacing with MK2 pads and a 3D pad. Also have a Action Replay and a few imports so far to keep me happy

You can tell board revisions from the serial numbers. You have 1 or 2 characters for manufacturer code, 1 character for year, 1 character for board version (when past 9, letters are used), and 6 characters for the serial counter. So AD69012345 = made by manufacturer "AD", in 1996, VA9 board, unit #012345 or 17D012345 = made by manufacturer "1", in 1997, VA13 board, unit #012345 etc.

I'm actually a fan of the mk 1 lol and the 3D pad. look into getting a mod chip is what I recommend as Saturn prices are just silly. There are too many good titles that aren't worth the asking price...and people willing to pay for it. Post a bit and the market place will appear. Knowing you, a bit, it won't be spam and you'll be fine. The mods have been known to reset spammer's post counts, which is always funny. The market is not as active as other places but it's one of the safer ones. And zyrobs is the man, I can't compliment him enough.

Thanks for the info and the invite to the boards! No worries Jamie. Glad we can help Like Synbios has already said, its pretty much always super chill round here dude. It's certainly NOT teh drama you'll be checking here for, that's for sure. Quite the opposite tbh...

I went a little overkill on the packaging iirc so you'd get it safe and sound. I would really like one of those nice clear Saturn Consoles all modded up Those will be a bit more depending on if you go with the This Is Cool or Derby model. They also have some incompatibility issues with a couple games. They're awesome as a second Saturn as I want to be able to play everything.

Is there a member here that can sell me the following? [...edited] Hi Jamie. Sorry to be a pain. We have some market place rules of our own here too I'm afraid. One of which is that you are not yet entitled to buy or sell on the forum until you have reached a specific minimum post count. 30 posts, to be specific. Based on your manner and the way in which you have already contributed thus far, I don't see 30 genuine, non-spam posts from yourself being an issue. As Synbiosfan mentioned earlier, it's only when noobs join and start bumping loads of old Saturn collection threads with the words "nice" and "jealous" along with a smiley, that we take action and reset peeps post counts. I don't have that concern here, whatsoever. However, we do have that 30 post count rule in place, just to make sure people want to be around us before we start selling them our stuff! If you have any more questions etc, then please, just ask

They also have some incompatibility issues with a couple games. They're awesome as a second Saturn as I want to be able to play everything. Synbios is spot on Jamie. The clear Saturn's, for whatever reason (Zyrobs?!) have incompatibility issues with some titles, more specifically, the 1st print of Outrun (oddly) and also (unfortunately) Metal Slug... would you believe. And I do use my Saturn to play MS1 as well because I'm not baller enough to have an AES copy of MS1. Will probably go down the CMVS route at some point though, just to get the prohibitively expensive titles and *maybe* sell some of my more expensive AES titles off and replace with MVS carts. I've got loose PGM carts and it hasn't bothered me one bit tbh. Although Shockboxes would be nice...

If you have any more questions etc, then please, just ask Hey thats all understood no problem at all. Looking to build up my collection and get myself a mod chip so ill wait for the post count to do its thing no worries. Can I ask are there different mod chips out there that do different things or are they all the same? Also with a mod chip installed can I still play legit games or will I need another console? Thanks

There are different manufacturer's of mod chips but they do the same thing. You can still play legit games.
You can always add a unibios for multi region play without an Action Replay too.

Thats good to know I had no idea about a unibios. I may get that done if I can find someone here who is either willing to mod my console or sell me a pre modded one.
