Ignore dj898. You don't need the modified Saturn at all. Only if you want to use the Mirage will you need that, and I doubt you have one. It was missing the manuals and software, so if you have access to them it is worth it. Otherwise, just go for an AR and comm card.

I wasn't talking about the blanks. I meant it is pointless everyone wanting an ISO of the boot CD. It seems noone is able to grasp that simple premise, though - good luck getting this project completed!! They turn up on Yahoo Japan. As a Saturn collector, I think it is sad that something...

Nah, they're only $20 sealed on YJ, if that. Mr Saturn was right, BTW - copying the boot CD is pointless. You still have to use the swap trick, only now you're adding an extra bit to the equation. You don't gain anything. Yes, it allows you to insert a CD. Still, you could have just done...

Go read what I said again. The dev manual references the VCD card. Unless it SPECIFICALLY says Video CD card, it means the JVC Virtual CD ISA card. This was later superseded by the Cross Products Mirage, which is an external version. The port on the Sophia, Cross and (modded) Psygnosis...

Hi Ricky, that's not a Virtual CD board. The Mirage is a replacement for the Virtual CD board. That is just an interface inside a Cross Saturn. The Virtual CD board was made by JVC and is an ISA card. Mine is buried under a load of boxes so I can't photograph it, unfortunately.

ARGH! NO NO NO! The Saturn dev manual says that you need the VCD card, yes. That would be the VIRTUAL CD card, not the video CD card. It is an ISA card that goes in a PC and emulates the CD drive, basically what the Mirage does. Why is anyone bothering to copy the Saturn Boot CDs? Here is...

You may have the permission of the developer, but you don't have the permission of Sega. Try and release a game without their permission, and trying to get around their copyright protection, and you'll be sued. :( Yes there are files too. Its quite complex really, very clever. Still, the...

You don't NEED a mirage.. not everyone used them anyway!

did i hear my name? ;) Yup, I have a Sophia system (Target Box, Graphics Box, Sound Box and E7000 ICE), and the Address Checker mentioned in this topic, which was another official Sega item :)

Hi! Kaneda, are you ok on FM principles now or do you need further help? Respectible.... if you still need help with scanning and PDFing the manuals, feel free to give me a shout... I'm located in SE UK.
