    Yeah you'd be beyond lucky to get it for less than a hundred.

    It would certainly be nice to own, but I don't think the game itself could possibly live up to the price. You'd be buying it for collection's sake TBH. Not that I don't want one, of course ;)

    By the way, excuse my ignorance, but where is the UniBIOS? I'm thinking it's that chubby looking yolk front of centre of the board. I tried to pull the chip out thinking it was socketed, I guess not? It doesn't look soldered anywhere at all on the underside either.

    Where am I supposed to be looking? Any ideas? Not that I can use the thing yet anyway as my MAK Strike, PSU and AES stick haven't arrived yet.

    Cheers! :)

    Yeah, thats the chip in the middle front I think.

    You should be able to remove it as you can send it back to be reflashed with a new bios if they make one or you got an older version.

    Edit:
    It might say 2.3 or 3.0 on the chip as well. Thats the bios version you have.

    Thanks gents. I could see no telling markings on the chip either only made in Singapore. Maybe it's not removable?

    I opened up the MVS carts last night to check the boards to see they were genuine. 99.9% certain they are, which is good. :)

    Well all those cart shells look genuine anyway. Interesting, your Temco World Soccer has a sub 1000 serial. Tis pretty early!

    Shin Shinobi Den! Nice one! I've wanted to get Shinobi X for my Saturn for ages but it's just too damn expensive. May cave and buy that instead. I've heard the soundtracks are different though.

    Just buy an Action Replay 4 in 1 and you're good to go with imports. It also works as a RAM expansion and has save blocks too. Great little device.

    If you're only going to play retail games on your Saturn there's no point really. The 4 in 1 plays everything fine.

    If you want to get into dodgy discs..well, that's another thing completely!

    Really must pick one of those up!

    A mod chip will only allow backups form the same region afaik...I could be wrong though. I've modded a few Saturns with region switches too much like the Megadrive. It's only three sets of jumpers which dictate the region. A region modded & chipped Saturn is completely universal.

    So the chip is only authenticating discs, not regions? Years since I dealt with Saturn modding but thats how I remember it too.

    I think that's correct yeah. Any modded Saturns I've seen tend to have a region switch on them like the Megadrive.

    It's quite possible there's a mod chip out there which does it for you too.

    As someone who's not really interested in playing backups, that 4 in 1 cart along with a 60hz console is all I needed.

    The only issue is those damn PAL optimized games. But I haven't come across too many of them...and sure I only really buy Japanese games anyway.

    Interesting, funny looking originals you've left in some of your consoles I've had the pleasure of modding :p
