Look what finally arrived in the mail yesterday...nice!
The white Sega Saturn is a later model from Japan, and never seen in the West. It's something for the diehard gamers who love their classic video games and wish to score a few bonus style points. The inner hardware is identical to the US Saturn, aside from the region coding (which thankfully can be defeated with the 4M Pro Action Replay cart). All I now need is a special chip sold by Racketboy, which allows me to play backup discs without the "swap trick."
A word to the wise: the Sega Saturn "swap trick" will burn out your disc drive fairly quickly. The effect is like learning to drive a stick-shift...CLUNK...CA-CLUNK. If you're playing backup Saturn discs (and until you see a Project Phoenix at your local store, that's exactly what you should be doing), you're going to need Racketboy's override chip. Now for some Metal Slug action...
