I came across this site looking for info on the Saturn, and there's tons of info here, I've been reading all morning!
Stupidly, I did have a Saturn when they were first released (when was that, about 9/10 years ago?!), I got it modded with a switch (at great expense of having to send it away), and had tons of Japanese games - I sold it, and OH how I wish I hadn't done that now!
I do have a few questions though, I'm looking to buy a Saturn again, and I'm unsure which one is the best to get - I primarily want it for playing "back-ups" (you, ISO's I've downloaded) and original import Japanese games that you can pick up on Ebay and such.
I'm in the UK, so does anyone have any advice which is the best model to get?
I have a Sony TV that can display 60hz PAL, but I don't think it can display NTSC (I'm pretty sure it can't, but have never had an import console to test it).
I'm looking at a few Ebay auctions, and see several different kinds of models:
- UK PAL with grey power/reset buttons
- UK PAL with black power/reset buttons
- JAP White Saturn
The JAP White one is definately appealing :devil - But I'll need a step-down power transformer, and possible a PAL booster too (? not sure about the last one).
So, I'm rambling now, but my question is what is the best model Saturn to get for someone in the UK with a 50/60hz PAL TV who wants to play burned and import games primarily.
Thanks for any help
