Just wanted to jump on here, as I've recently been working on this myself. I had a soft-modded PS2 slim for quite a while, and was trying to do OPL + SMB network ISOs. It works ok, but not amazingly. Games sometimes freeze, especially around loading. It just wasn't cutting it, so I bought a "br...

http://www.retrogamingexpo.com/ I'll probably be going to this. I was wondering if anyone else was planning on going? I guess this has taken over Northwest Classic Gaming Expo. I've never been to any gaming expo, so I'm a bit excited. They are gonna have an Atari 2600 competition and a N64 competit...

The best of what both worlds? That sounds like the worst of both worlds, if you ask me. I mean, the advantage of the Flashback is only the size (and the roms onboard, I guess). You lose compatibility, which is why I got the 7800. If you threw that in a standard 2600(a/jr/whatever) case, you're getti...

UPDATE: My friend was visiting for a week so I kinda held off on the modding stuff. But last night I wired up my 7800 with an S-video port. It's all breadboarded and stuff still, but I'll try and post some pictures tonight. Also, I'm gonna see if I can't get stereo sound out of it, as it's on the bo...

Racketboy, if you could please make a favicon for Racketboy.com, I'd really appreciate it. I've just started using a firefox extension called Faviconize that turns the tabs I use all the time into just their favicon. I'd like your site to be one of my tabs, but right now it's just a blank white shee...

In the future, I want to mod the Flashback 2 with a few LEDs to show the state of the difficulty A + B buttons, since there is no way to determine their state except by the feel of the button. Also, I've seen a circuit diagram online to auto-detect if a cart is in or not to determine Internal ROM or...

The Model2-Model1 Modchip mod (omg, that's a bad sentence) is a lot harder than it looks there. Well, it took me a good 3-4 hours. The solder points are tiny, you have to be careful and cut traces on the board too, with an X-acto knife or razor. I'll admit it wasn't as hard as the FB2 mod, but it di...

Hey everyone. Been missing for a while (I never posted much anyways) but I've been doing some mods to my new consoles, etc, and thought that some people (Mozgus and Catfoodmoney in particular) would be interested. So here goes... Modded Sega Saturn Model 1 (w/ Model 2 chip modded to Model 1): Outsid...

I realized now that I didn't say the outside case screws are what I'm looking for. Also, thanks a lot for the photo, vlame, but the threads are very hard to identify in that picture. It gives me a general idea of what to look for though. Are the same screws anywhere else in the Saturn? Maybe I could...

I just recently put a modchip in my saturn (have a model 1, had to do the model2->model1 mod on the modchip, pics later). I also got a longer ribbon cable for the cd block so that it reaches right and there's no tension. Now, I'm ready to put it back together, but I don't know what size screws I nee...
