Suprised at the lack of love for 32X Doom - it's the jewel in the 32X's crown. I still love it to this day, and has a very constant, if not particularly high, framerate that shows the Saturn game how it should be done. A 32XCD version would have been top, providing developers with the storage...

It's actually a little wierd. Listen to the intro song closely. Listen to the female lyrics and compare them to the original JPN/Euro intro on the MegaCD... the version on Sonic Jam appears to be from a different recording session.

Damn forgot about that, it's a Model 2, 32pin IC PAL machine. Assy P605 CD Board (the kind that works with Mal's A-B installation method). After trying it in 2 other Saturns, I've resorted to admitting the mod is dead and returning it. Bah.

Just a quick question before I send this mod back. I tried modding a Saturn today, using Mal's A-B method, installed correctly from what I can tell. However, disc doesn't spin, no start-up animation, green balls in the CD player screen, displaying 'Checking disc format'. I know this model of...

Pretty funny you say that actually, considering how the high resolution, 60fps port of Virtua Fighter 2 is generally held in high regard, and the transparency-packed Sonic R's engine is respected by even the strongest Sonic R critic!

Looks like awesome stuff. Still not the tradtional Shining Force battle system though, which is bound to piss off the hardcore.

The GameGear had no region protection for anything, though I'm pretty sure that, for example, a PAL TV Tuner would be useless in an NTSC region.

I'm pretty sure the games have to be the same region as your machine... it sounds like they are not. Make an iso of the game, patch the region with SatConv and re-burn.

I'm not convinced that it would be a good idea at this point anyway. Aside from the obvious reasons, it's clear from Sega's recent output that they're first party development isn't as strong as it once was. I mean, you could say that the main reason the Dreamcast and Saturn attained the little...

Just posting some info some people might find useful... I admit I've not read every page of this huuuuge topic, and I hope I'm not repeating what has already been said. I have 2 PAL Model 2 Saturns here. Both externally identical. Both with the model number MK-80200A-50. One of them worked...

Right you are of course. Well I just scored a 32X on EBay UK, suppose I'll find out for myself. On a completely unrelated note, what actually used the 'EXT' serial port on the back of the early Genesis/MegaDrive?

I dunno bought that... the PAL version of the Sonic 3D special stage full-on crashes when in 60Hz mode.

Yeah I know. I don't know the technical side of it all, I just know using an RF lead or AV cable to display NTSC on a PAL TV generally leads of a black and white or rolling display, which is fixed by picking up an RGB Scart cable.

I'd say 95% of todays TV's in the UK support PAL60... And about 90% support NTSC as long as it's running through a decent connection like RGB SCART. You'd be *very* unlucky to end up with a TV that doesn't support PAL60 or NTSC.

I was under the impression that the Saturn could not output either NTSC-50 or PAL60... the switch would allow straight PAL, or straight NTSC, and that's it.
