Lan-Kwei - positive/negative experiences

[mtxblau]

I've never really felt the need for a modchip, but it's getting a bit annoying to use my ST-Key then quickly switch to the memory cart to play Japanese games. With that in mind, a mod chip takes care of the country lockout, right? (You'd think I would know this by now)

Reason I ask is the website states you may want to buy a Universal 3in1 to play imports in conjunction with the modchip(?).

Also, has anyone had positive or negative experiences with Lan-Kwei? Seems like Lik-Sang has been screwing people over left and right... I want to purchase a SS modchip from them (if the above is true).

Thanks!

A mod board only takes care of the security ring and lets you play CDRs.

Satconv on a CD image, a cart like an AR or switches will take care of the country code.

I'd stop swapping carts as soon as possible if I were you. It's not good for the Saturn.

If you're going to get a mod board, check what sort of 21 pin Saturn you have first; 32 pin, 64 pin or Sanyo CD board.

Except for the fact that their mod boards don't seem to work with 64 pin Saturns, I've had no trouble with stuff from Lik-Sang or Lan-Kwei.

My lan-kwei chip fried out a week after i got it but it could have just been shitty luck.

You might also want to try getting your mod chip from , or <a href="http://www.gocybershop.net/">Go Cyber Shop. I've bought mod chips from both places, and i've found them to be quite reliable. Also, if your worried about your mod chip burining out some day, gamegizmo gives you a third mod chip for free if you buy two at once.

they use exactly the same modchips that consoleking and lik-sang do i think you will find, so it doesnt really make any difference where you buy it from as far as relibility goes

So, I really don't need a modchip, but just a 3in1 or 4in1.

Well, that's a bid ridiculous, but I guess that's how it goes. Thanks for all your help!
