Just traded a coworker a spare SNES for a model 2 Saturn a while back (night into dreams makes my head hurt >.<)

  Looking for a Action Replay for Saturn at a reasonable price and a Saturn mod chip.
Only action replays I can find on eBay are new for $35
Only place I can find a chip is racketboy for $45

So if anyone has something to sell me at a decent price? I have paypal.

I'll probably have to pony up and buy the chip from racket, but I was hoping some one has an extra.

   On the upside, while looking at memory/storage expansion I realized the Saturn CMOS takes a CR2032 battery and takes 2 seconds to replace.
 Need to change the one in my Dreamcast, but don't feel like taking it apart right now.

There was a guy on cheap ass gamer that had a BUNCH of modchips sitting around.  We were talking about a trade at one point, but I didn't really need them at the time.  Lemme check through my old PMs over there...

That would be great Wiggy, thanks. When I thought about the possibility of some one having a spare, you were the first one that popped into my head =P

Well thats helpfully cheaper thanks.

Still want the chip to try out the expensive games before deciding on a purchase (panzer dragoon for example)
I'm a OEM hardware kind of guy. Programs that shall not be named annoy the crap out of me.

Already ordered it from play-asia.
The overseas shipping doesn't bother me.
 First time from ordering from them, I do like that they have an option for a box for 0.50 extra. Gotten plenty of damaged items via EMS bubble mailers.

It's sorta funny because I DO have an extra one. It's in my trade thread.

Unfortunately I can't get it to work. It's an older design, and there's almost no info on the webernets about it.

Also, I shot that guy on cheap-ass a pm for ya.

I've gotten two Sega Saturn mod chips before from this site: www.consolegoods.co.uk

Yes, it's in England, but the guy that runs the site, Rob, is willing to ship overseas, and his prices are pretty affordable.  I'd check it out!

Now you mention it I remember seeing it, but scrolled right past it because YOU can't get it to work.
I really doubt I would have any luck =P Thank you for sending him a PM on my behalf.

I remember running across them to now that you mention it.
I'll wait to hear if the guy on CAG has anything and/or we can make a reasonable deal, but thank you for reminding me about that option.
I had to format a while back (aggressive virus) and lost my bookmarks.

They are one of the easiest hard mods to do.  If you can solder at all, then I wouldn't got that route.

Can anyone point me towards a good RPG list for Saturn?

Looking for a good English release list plus fan translated.

Wiki's list doesn't have a sort by genre and I have limited time for screwing around on Google, lol.
