I recently installed a modchip in a friend's Saturn (32 pin CDU IC, 21 pin ribbon cable, case revision 2) and it behaves somewhat odd. Some copied games will boot right up while others don't boot or are recognized as audio CDs. What's weird is that the with those games that don't boot at all, the drive tries to do the security ring check (and fails of course), and yet no attempt to do that is made on games that work fine.
I imagine that either there's a problem with the CD unit's laser or the modchip has the jumper set the wrong way. Maybe both. If I have to adjust the laser with that little potentiometer on the CD board, how far left or right should I turn it?
-duncan
P.S. The chip was purchased from Lan-Kwei, if that matters (which I hear it might).
