Thanks, Racketboy doesn't exactly make it clear where I was supposed to tape up.

@liamh1982 I supposed that's ultimately what's the video is about ;D, I think I originally got my stuff from Racketboy and maybe a few other online sites to figure out how to go about doing this.

I'll stick to the swap trick. had the same saturn for over 15 years now, still works!

Very nicely done, I feel like I'm afraid that I'm going to mess up my Saturn if I keep performing the swap trick. Oh well, I found some awesome deals on Cyber Troopers, so those have kept me pretty entertained when it comes to the Saturn for right now.

But sometime in the future, I would prefer to get a modchip, since I just got an official memory backup cartridge, instead of having to use my Action Replay 5-in-1. to play Japanese games ;)

Thanks !!!!!! =)

By the way, I almost broke my sega saturn lol!!!

Did you watch my video on how to perform a swap trick to get the game to boot?

I'm just going to assume the worst of this situation here.

If you're not performing a swap trick, this modification does nothing.

Please respond ASAP, I'd like to be of assistance.

I burned a copy of Megaman 8 for the Saturn and put it in my now modified Sega Saturn (Thank you) but the damn thing keeps saying "This disc is not suitable". I think I'm missing something here. Could you shine some light on the situation?

[Indead]

Honestly, i don't remember, but I'm going to assume that you can, it may be a BIT different, but I'm sure it won't be too hard to figure out if it actually is. If you need too, see what you can find online about it.
