Well, I found this listing on eBay here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230446005106&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
It is for a chipped (white japanese) Saturn without any region modification that supposedly plays imports. Considering all of the region mod tutorials (not to mention sebs creation) I figured this guy must not know what he is talking about. So I emailed him and he insists that it will play original imports from any region (without copying and patching). Has anyone here ever heard of such a chip?
Edit:
Oh, and here are the emails sent between us that led me to this point:

Does this have some sort of modification allowing it to play all regions or does it just come with one of those region-free carts? Thanks!

I added a chip to the console and you can play all regions and EVEN copies too. I have customers download saturn games and play with this console. Think about how much $$$ you can save? thanks henry

Well I only care about being able to play my original imports without having to make copies of them first.. So, will this console do this? Thanks!

Have you personally verified this?
My brother has a chipped Saturn and he says that it will only play imports if you first make an ISO image and then patch it with a program that changes the region -> then of course burn it to CD-R... I definitely do not want to go through all of that hassle.
I have seen Saturn consoles here on eBay that have switches installed in the case that allow you to change the region of the system, I think that is probably what I am after (unless of course you can verify that it does for sure play imports without copying them). Thanks!

I thanks for your information and your stories of playing import games. This system you saw does not need to copy anything...it plays US Saturn CD games, Japanese Saturn CD games and even copies Saturn CD games directly. Thanks Henry
