Looking For Sega Saturn Parts

One of the easiest, if not the easiest, old school mod chips to install and entirely worth it IMO. Also, there's a simple patch program that will allow you to play backup JP games as well. If you can't find it online, lemme know and I'll email it to you. It literally takes ONE button click to patch ANY game :)
Also, don't worry about fusing that chip. The entire console is fused, PLUS there's a regulator for the 5v that it gets in the Saturn. If the regulator goes, then it won't supply anything, much less more than 5v. No need to complicate things ;)

I'm a huge Sega fan, I love my consoles convoluted :P
It was less installing the chip I was worried about and more about getting a dud.
I have that action replay coming in the mail from play asia so I'm not worried about region patches, thanks though wiggy.
You can get crackin' on that GG light mod and take my money though ;) lol
(see eBay thread for me talking about the Majesco GG if you haven't already, got it in the mail yesterday)

Finally heard back LOL! I guess he's been super busy. I'm sure we all know how that goes.
Says he has 4-5 left. I may grab 'em all since there seems to be a desire for them lately. I know at least 2 friends that are interested in having a modded Saturn :)

I have yet to play any of these yet but I have:
Dragonforce - supposed to be really good
Albert Odyssey - supposed to be average from what I have read
Shining the Holy Ark - Looks like an old school first person dungeon crawler
Shining Force III - has a good reputation but only the first in a trilogy and part 2 and 3 weren't released in NA / English
Guardian Heroes - fighting game with RPG elements. I've played a bit of this one and really liked it.
Others that I've heard of but don't have:
Shining Wisdon - action RPG I think
Panzer Dragoon Saga - Supposed to be amazing but very expensive
Magic Knight Rayearth - another expensive one - Don't know much about it

At least these 3 are MUST haves IMO (not saying that the others aren't good or great though).
