OK, I'm kinda in a rut here...
Just installed my new 21-pin modchip in my US Saturn... did everything correctly and things work fine. I can boot original game CDs just fine... so I went ahead and made a straight backup of Sega Rally to a TDK CD-R (74min) disc using Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.02 (CD Copier) on Windows98SE and a HP CD-Writer 9100i.
My Saturn recognizes the backup CD and goes to the "start game" button in the boot menu... But when I do start the game, the Sega logo comes up, the screen goes black, and then nothing happens... the disc keeps spinning at 2x speed for about a minute, then it kicks me back to the boot menu...
I can play the audio tracks on the backup just fine so I know the Saturn is capable of reading the CDR... Is my mod chip faulty? Should I attempt adjusting the laser?
Does Adaptec's CD copier suck eggs?
(I only want to backup my original games and play the backups... not interested in burning downloaded images.)
If someone could help me out.... I'd be forever grateful...
I have difficulty believing that the problem is really with the mod chip since it doesn't prevent me from booting original game CDs.....
