Ok, i was looking around on ebay and found this device. I thought someone here might be interested in it. So have a look: Ebay Saturn Dev Item
Saturn Dev Device on ebay
- Thread starter RitualOfTheTrout
- Start date
this is the same address checker that he sold in previous auction but the buyer decided to walk out since this thing weigh tons. 😛
on old Assembler forum this was discussed in much length so you might want to dig it up if you are interested...
my take on this thing is this is some kind of modified system to test early build to see whether the program access the area of memory it shouldn't have. There's another address checker which is much smaller - in fact it's normal Saturn shell with row of LED at on side for address checking.
For true Saturn development you need CartDev Rev.B setup which consist of modified Saturn console, VCD unit, buffer board and cable to connect to PC. There was Rev.A but it's much bulkier and had several issues whereas Rev.B addressed much of issues and came in smaller package - also the modified Saturn is handy as it has rotary switch at the side to set the country setting so you don't need ARP4-1 cart. Stick a mod chip in and you have ultimate Saturn setup... 😛
cheers

they did.
This is Cool Saturn (black skeleton)

Sonic Saturn
Hi-Navi
These are the well known limited edition Saturn and quite hard to come by not to mention they fetch a lot of money especially on eBay. 😛
There were other special packages but the console inside was stock standard.
cheers
