And why can’t I find it anywhere? I know it wasn’t very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.
Tbh with something like the Saturn, I’d recommend just grabbing a japanese one. They’re typically found much cheaper and are also often in better condition (and come in more colours!)
Wouldn’t the Japanese model also have a much larger library of games available and be able to use the RAM carts to boost performance?
i’ve only used the RAM cart in my US Saturn.
I have at least two carts for it, actually.
One is the 4 MB RAM upgrade, and one is 4 MB RAM plus memory card for saving games.
Then again, I don’t know if a mod chip was required, which I do have installed.
I also have the Japanese Symphony of the Night for the system, as well.
The mod chip required connecting one wire.
Mod chips used to be necessary for playing games on CD-R, but now that can be done with just a 4-in-1 cartridge using the PseudoSaturn hack. My recollection is that Saturn mod chips only defeat the copy protection check and you’d still need another solution (like the 4-in-1 cart) for disabling the region-lock.
