Sega REALLY should release a Saturn Mini. It would be a gorgeous console with a great controller, especially if they did the white Japanese model. And, once hackers modified it to allow ROMs, you'd be able to expand the library with games from all Sega's consoles and beyond. Now that would be very cool indeed.

I was aware of the 4MB expansion cart as a kid. Didn't have a Saturn when it was new, but I eventually bought one at a flea market for $50. That's before factoring in games and an adapter for HD RetroVision's Genesis component cable. As for the Pseudo Saturn exploit, I saw that coming since I watched Adam Koralik's video on the Saturn a good few years ago. He mentioned how it's theoretically possible to create an EverDrive for the Saturn. This console keeps surprising the hell out of us 28 years after its release. Once again, you knocked this out of the park.

For those having issues with the replay card such as resetting to the bios screen or trouble in FMV: the replay card produces electromagnetic interference which can mess up the CD reader. I solved my issues by shielding the card using a bit of aluminum foil in the inner wall of the replay card. When doing this keep in mind the aluminum foil should be isolated with doug tape or similar, as a short circuit can permanently damage your console.

I still have my PAL Saturn bought in 1995, with my cousin, we quickly figured out how to play imports and back-ups by putting a piece of adhesive to shut down the button which detects the opening of the lid, to make the console believe it was closed, and then, a dual swap (first the import/back-up, for the console to learn the CD layout, then an original from the console's country for the protection, and the back-up/import again). The trick worked in the second version of the Saturn as well, but it was a bit trickier, you had a shorter windows for the swaps. Finally, we installed a double switch in our consoles, which allow to switch between any version and frequency, PAL, NTSC US and Jap, and even PAL 60hz :-) We had such a blast with Athlete Kings/Decathlete, Virtua Fighter 2, Dead Or Alive, Fighters Megamix, Street Fighter Zero 2 & 3, KOF 95-97, Nights, SEGA Rally, Saturn Bomberman, Worms, Virtual On, the first Tomb Raider and so on... :-)

I got the extended pseudo kai you mentioned, it has a switch on top to select between 1MB or 4MB ram extension, cheats, import, backup access, and memory card. Great thing is that the memory card, unlike the original action replay, can be used ingame. For the 60Hz issue, I modded my pal model 1 saturn (tricky to do with a chance to ruin the console so I would recommend model 2 instead if you're not used to do these mods) to be able to switch between 50 and 60hz on the fly.

I made my own Pseudo Saturn cart a few years ago with a 4-in1 Action Replay Plus cart. It didn't lose the ability to use it as a RAM expansion cart. These newer pre-made carts had that problem because they weren't made with the extra RAM.

I accidentally found an easy way to mod a model 1 PAL (VA3) Saturn to 60Hz - I found some circular adhesive pads, about 10mm diameter, basically the sort of thing you may find as feet on a small electrical device. I popped a bit of solder in the middle of the pad, opened up the battery port of the Saturn, and popped it over the middle two of the SW4 contacts, near the battery reset button - sitting very snugly within the case plastic. A switch would obviously be better but I was amused that it worked, and better still, you can remove it any time (even when the power is on).

As you pointed out, one slight problem with using Pseudo Saturn for NTSC games on a PAL system, it won't play at 60Hz without a hardware mod. If you already have a PAL system, depending on which version of the system you have, the process to do this is easy to moderately tricky. I had my model 2 PAL Saturn modded with a modchip to auto-switch the 50Hz / 60Hz modes and at the same time I had the FRAM mod done so game saves are no longer dependent on the battery backup. I also fitted my Saturn with a Satiator (VCD Card Slot CD drive emulator) so I don't even need to use the CD drive to play games (but it is still available to use if I want to play from a CD) and I have every single game that is playable by a non-Japanese speaker loaded on to it! Naturally I also have a combo Save / RAM / Pseudo Saturn cart, 3D pad, 2nd issue Saturn pad (like Japanese version but black) and even the steering wheel controller!!

@MegaManNeo If that will happen, we would also be able to play Master System games on the Saturn with the Master System adapter.

OK... Now I want a Saturn too!!! I love everdrive-like cartridges! I've collected the NES & Famiclone, Mega Drive, SNES, N64, PS2, Game Cube, GBA, XBOX 360,Nintendo DS, Wii.... Also Atari 2600 Jonior (with lots of build in games) and CPC 464 with lots of cassetes (gonna mod it to work with an mp3 player). For all those systems I have either a large game collection, an "everdrive" or an HDD. I was hoping to get the Dremcast and the 32X (with a MEGA SG maybe) someday.... but now I want the Saturn too! I'm trying to collect gaming stuff that was part of my childhood, and I had very little contact with the Saturn. But with a falshcart it becomes so much more intriguing :)

Yes, I play backups and have experienced amazing games on the Saturn with it.

I thought getting Panzer Dragoon Saga for just under £300 seemed painful but now it seems an absolute bargain! And that was just in 2020. Don't invest in gold, oil or cryptocurrency, invest in Sega Saturn games! A Sega Saturn Mini running at 60Hz with licensed, cheap downloadable games would be ideal, but at this point, seems to be the pipiest of pipedreams. Also, re-release Saturn Bomberman, the finest of Bomberman games for any system.

Definitely agree with what you said about playing burned copies and supporting SEGA directly instead of paying hundreds of pounds/dollars for a used copy of the game. Would be nice in PDS remastered for modern consoles so everyone would be able to play and know how excellent that game is.

Whenever I have the opportunity, I buy a Sega Saturn game at an affordable price, but you are quite right that it is not necessary to spend millions of dollars to pay people who speculate on the prices in the market, especially since there are improvements in the Sega Saturn that enhance the console is great. For example, Symphony of the Night Extended 1.5, which uses 4mb RAM and speeds up the game and even has graphical improvements including transparency that were criticized for so many years that Sega Saturn could not do.

Satiator in the video CD expansion card slot is the best overall way to mod your Sega Saturn.

I recently got a satiator ^^ my friend and i used to burn cd rs and do the disc swap trick back in high school

Just buy a Satiator and pop it in the MPEG expansion slot. Then you don't even need to use CD-Rs, nor do you need to replace the drive mechanism, nor do you need to use a cart (although you still can, as I use an AR cart in my Saturn).

Had to pause at the SS game collection shot at 2:51, that is quite the respectable collection. Impressed with myself though, think there’s actually one I have that’s not shown here! Andretti Racing. It’s crap. Also couldn’t see Virtual On but I’d be very surprised if that isn’t actually there rather than me just not being able to make out all the titles

i'm glad with my og saturn collection. There is something about having it or owning it. But i get either way. Money is an issue offcourse. Most certainly when you have tons of hobbys. Could we agree that it is one of the most underrated and perhaps best consoles of all time??.in the top 20 for sure.
