Sega Saturn Modchip Help

Tech Talk
1

This is a US Saturn, model 2, with the 64 pin chip.

This mod must be installed with the component side facing away from the CD unit since the ribbon cable is twisted.

The mod didn’t fit in this way around, so I had to bend the metal shielding from the main board and file down the chip so it would fit snug. Not too hard to do, so now the modchip fits perfectly.

Ive put the chip in both ways using the A+B method described in the link below, and also tried soldering the signal wire to the 8th pin on the IC chip (as I read on Sega Xtreme), but it didnt work so I bridged A and B and it still doesnt work
Originals work just fine with the mod installed, CDRs dont. The failure is either Disc is unsuitable for this system or offering just the audio tracks. I dont understand why needs help with this.

Unless something has changed, information on modding systems is against the rules here.

This sounds right. You’ll probably receive better support at Racketboy as well.
