I can't think of anything besides a virus that would be that noticeable. Sure, Norton can be a pig, but it shouldn't cause that. IF you were infected by a Klez Variant without your virus checker catching it, Klez will disable your virus checker! Here's a simple test to tell if it's Klez...

Mal: Here's a few links. Mod Chips Tony's SS Page (Some pics of older modchips near bottom) Wow, not easy to find this stuff at all. Hope that helps a little. Bootnut

The main distinction is rosin core vs. acid core. Always use some sort of rosin core, NEVER use acid core on any electronics. Acid core will eat away the connections/traces on the pcb. Flux is also a good idea when soldering delicate components. Check out: Solder FAQ That's easily the...

Actually, no, I don't mean to tell you that I searched for mkisofs and didn't find what I wanted. Before I read the post about mkisofs and cdrtools, I didn't know exactly what I was looking for, so I couldn't tell google specifically enough what I wanted. 8) Thanks for the link though, I...

Ok, I'll give the file split a try. Not like I have anything to lose. And yes, Google is my friend. I just couldn't tell my friend what I wanted specifically enough for him to find it for me. 8) I'll let you know how I do. Bootnut

I have an ISO/MP3 release of Megaman X3 for Saturn. The iso itself won't burn with CDRWin because the sector boundary doesn't match the cue sheet's mode. The ISO's byte size doesn't match mode 1, 2 or Raw sectory boundary size. However, I can open the ISO with winrar and winimage, and extract...

Yeah, should have mention CDMage. I can't open the ISO in CDMage. I either get sector boundary errors, or when I try to open in raw mode, I'm told that the image is different than what was assumed (IE, CDROM or Mixed). I think I can assume they're all bad rips, as long as I can assume that...

Just to clarify.. If I have an ISO & WAV set to burn, I can check the mode of the iso track by doing some simple division? So Mode 1 would be divisible by 2048, raw is divisible by 2352, and mode 2 by 2336. Sega Cue Maker does check for this, right? Until very recently, sega cue maker has...

I can't speak from experience, but there's no reason a quality resurfacing would decrease the readability of the disc. It should be just the opposite, of course, even for the protection ring. The Skip Dr. Series of resurfacers seem to be the best. Worth about $40 Canadian, but one game saved...

I got my modchip from www.gocybershopelectronics.com yesterday, and installed it successfully after a littler trial & error. Since I ran into a couple of different things that aren't mentioned in this thread, I thought I'd share my experiences a little. I have a Model 2, 32 pin CD Controller...

Thank you for the info. I guess I can just use a dummy audio file, but perhaps I'll look for another source. Bootnut

I've been reading through the forums here, and I can't find a definitive answer. Specifically, does Burning Rangers have an audio file? My download only has an ISO and a cue file, and the cue file only has the ISO file listed. I seem to remember reading that a game must have at least one...

Thanks for the suggestion. I may have jumped the gun by assuming it was a clone cd problem! I tried the alternate swap technique (as described in my other current thread in this group), without the ram cart in, and now I can play well past the first bonus round. The place that it was freezing...

Excellent! Thanks for the alternate swap technique! This worked on *EVERY* game that I could not get to run before! Too bad I can't do it with the ram cart, because I'll run out of system nvram very fast! heh. I noticed that the second (final) swap needs to be done IMMEDIATELY after the...

I downloaded the game Grid Runner in a CloneCD format. I burned it, and it loads, but after the first round and the bonus round, the screen goes black as if to load, but then doesn't load anything, disc just keeps spinning. So, looking at the image in CCD, I see that the first audio track...

I am patching the games for USA/Canada, all except one, which did work, proving the cart does do country conversion. 8) When I try swapping the games that don't work, the blue sega logo comes up, and nothing happens after that. In the FAQs, that suggests improper timing of the swap. Ok, so I...

I've burned a number of Saturn games lately to play on my Model 2 saturn. A couple at first wouldn't swap, never did get them to work. Once I got a few more games that did work, I learned to swap fairly easily and was successful with the help of my 8Meg cartridge. I bought some new CDRs...

Well, I think I've figured out what's happening here! And it's not really such a wonder after all. First off, I've been able to perform the swap trick without the cartridge quite reliably now. I've been able to test the games a little better that way. What I've found is that the games that...

Ok, to clarify: The Saturn is not modded. I bought it new 5 years ago, and I've never taken it apart until I taped up the door switch, which was last week. I wondered about the TOC and how it handles that as well. Only one game has not worked so far, and that is Panzer Dragoon Zwei, which...

Without the cart in the slot, the game would just load up when I turn the saturn on. The only time I'd see the cd player control is when I put an Audio CD in. Just a note, this is the regular cd player control, and the place where the CD-G button normally would be is where the Start...
