Bad

40 bucks for a fucking modchip? Can you even solder? Why didn't you just get an AR+ and pseudo-saturn that sonofabitch?

Also, you overpaid for the hardware.

>>4095092
there is only one modchip these days anon, and yes, I have been soldering for years.

>>4095097
Yeah...but $40...are you crackers?

Bad_Ad84 would have sold you one for less than half that:

>pay $30 for shipping so it won't take a month to get here
I'll pass

>>4095110
Fair enough.

Btw how much did you shell out for a region-free BIOS chip? I didn't see one on your pic.

>>4095125
Why would I get that if I could just get an action replay?

>>4095130
This

>>4095130
Why would you shell out 40 clams for a modchip when you could just flash pseudo-saturn on the AR you're intending to use...for the cost of a cd-r?

>>4095138
because I like hard, dedicated mods. and it's kinda fun TO mod things

>>4094984
don't buy a saturn

why do you guys do this? this shit is literal trash. it's old plastic trash

i had a saturn when it came out. it was barely worth having one new bro

>>4095141
Then why not go the whole hog and do a BIOS mod too? It seems you're being masochistic and spendthrift on the one hand and lazy and tight on the other.

Am I being trolled here?

>>4095142
for the vns and the beat em ups

>>4095142
Nights, Panzer Dragoon and Panzer Dragoon Saga, all the fighting games and shoot 'em ups.
You're missing out

>>4095142
too late, and I know it's a rather limited console. I want it for:

1) the few gems on it
2) completing my console collection

after this I'll have all the major consoles excepting the Intellivision, Colecovision, and Atari 5200/7800 (which I'm not even sure I want because literally no games). I think I'll just start focusing on computers, I already have several nice ones.

>>4095145
anon, why do you care so much? I don't even plan on playing very many import games which is why I don't mind having to occasionally use an AR. and literally no one is trolling you, jesus christ you are such a newfag

Imagine being so fucking poor that you lose your shit over how someone spends 40 fucking dollars

>>4095156
Imagine getting two fully working Saturns, a handful of games, three pads, two official RGB SCART cables, a steering wheel and pseudo-saturned AR+ for 1/3 what OP paid.

>Losing your shit
Hardly.

That said you don't get rich by throwing your money around m8. However OPs purchase and plan just seems ill-advised and frankly retarded (not wanting to play many import games...on fucking Saturn?)

>>4095217
I don't live in a 3rd world country. I use NTSC.

>>4095219
Unless that country is Japan your regional game selection is shite.

Surprise, the guy shitting up the thread is a reddit baby!

>>4095278
>Reddit
Never been there matey. 11 year 4chan user though.

You, on the other hand, appear to have first-hand knowledge of the posting conventions there. Also, the use of ellipses to indicate a pause or trailing off is older than the internet...

Finally, I don't feel I am "shitting up the thread" as it's not a hugbox here. All I am doing is pointing out that OP overpaid for his hardware and has extremely questionable views on relevant mods to enable software piracy and the methods best used in order to achieve them.

>>4095138
Pseudosaturn does not work with all games, and takes way longer to boot games.

Modchip is completely transparent and actually boots faster than originals due to the security check being skipped.

>>4095418
Thanks for letting us know that you strongly disagree with OP's spending $40 on something he likes.

>>4095217
>steering wheel

they should've been paying YOU for taking that thing away.

>>4095421
I think you mean $132 anon...

>>4095427
The console and controller are pretty standard priced.

>>4095423
It's no Logitech Driving Force that's for sure but actually not that bad to use.

>>4095418
>11 year 4chan user though
kek, nice try reddit. do you realize how hopelessly transparent it is?

>>4094984
You paid market value for the Saturn

I thought there mod chips were cheaper but i don't know people are getting so butt mad. You paid like $10 more than I thought they cost from that Canadian dude. It's a better solution than pseudosaturn (which is what I use).


Enjoy your Saturn!

Oh just so I fit in... you should have spent a month on Craigslist looking for a cheap Saturn because that's a really good way to spend your time. $30 you would have saved is well worth the many hours spent searching.

>>4095217
You really don't get rich by wasting your life searching for epic deals instead of making money

RIP OP's financial future, they bought a market value Saturn and paid $20 more for a mod chip.

>>4095217
IMAGINE being this delusional for a second

>>4095515

Pot calling the kettle black.

>>4095569
My deal popped up on gumtree 3 miles away, not really much effort involved tbqh. I work long hours as a quality inspector in the aerospace industry and am doing quite well financially thank you very much.

What I don't do is throw good money after bad for convenience's sake. That's the road to ruin.

Shop smart; Shop S-Mart and if you ever talk down to me again you'll be saying hello to my BOOMSTICK.

>>4095138
Pseudosaturn doesn't work with all Saturn models. Meanwhile, mod chips do.

>>4095756
What about the 20/21 pin thing?

>>4095712
anon I'm not poor and from the sound of it neither are you. are you jewish by any chance?

>>4095217
>Hardly.
It's not hardly you're really effin buttmad right now like sheesh kid calm down k?

>>4094984
I mean...you posted this here, you obviously want us to validate the price you spent which...seems a bit high to me. But I got my Saturn with a controller at a thrift store for $10 and seen that controller for $20 so what do I know.

Far as the modchip goes, are you just wanting to do JP imports? Cuz if you want to mod, you can just take the thing apart, solder the region jumpers too a $1.49 dollar switch from RadioShack and tah dah! Two regions.

>>4095092
>Pseudosaturn
>Ever

>>4094984
>How did I do
Excellent

>>4096271
I'm fine with jews if they're behind everything I like if all the conspiracy theories are true.

>>4095712
Ah because you got lucky with classifieds we all should when we want a Saturn, got it.


Paying a higher price for convenience is not a road to ruin, it's a road to convenience.

>>4095217
>imagine a kid bullshiting on the internet
Why, when I have it all right here?

So anyways, rate OP /10

$$$$$$$$/10

Now fuck off
