Cut of the legs of a resistor or similar component and use that to bridge the points I'm sorry to hear it may have bridged underneath the chip. It will be difficult to remove it without breaking it. Unless you have the right tools of course You Saturn is working alright, still? That's all that reall...

What's with the twisted wires? You did solder these on properly and cut off the remaining wire, right?

As for your CS8406 soldering to the adapter it looks fine to me Try measuring the pins with a continuity tester to check for shorts.

Could you post some pictures please? I only used a breadboard because I was too cheap to buy an adaptor

As promised I have tried to draw up instructions to do this mod on a VA13 Saturn. It might partially match other Model 2's as well, but the DAC might be different, and therefore the Reset line goes somewhere else. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e236/Konsolkongen/Various%20mods/toslinkmodsmall.png...

Ah of course. Sorry but the one I used was one I pulled from an old MegaDrive 1 I did some modifications to. Didn't buy it :/
I just installed it in the cable, there's plenty of room in the Scart socket.

Haha, hope you don't mind

220uF.

I have since then compared schematics from the VA0.5 and VA13 Saturn. Of course many things differ, but video out part was somewhat identical, and on the VA13 it lacks a 75ohm resistor and 220uF cap. Seems like the 220uF cap is good enough on it's own though.

I use c.sync on all my consoles (Saturn, MegaDrive 1 and SNES) since it's my experience that you might get dropouts every now and then, if you use composite video as sync, especially when the screen flashes white. I did have some trouble using c.sync on this VA13 Saturn. For some reason this was wha...

Lol, it was just a test to see if it worked before I started cutting in the skeleton case For region I have installed a new Bios and 50/60Hz is done with the reset button. Here are a few more pics I took the day after, when I made the hole for the toslink transmitter. I think it turned out pretty go...

I got this up and running with toslink cables on a Japanese VA13 Saturn. The DAC is a newer type than the ones mentioned on GamesX, but since it shared the same "TP"-points on the bottom of the motherboard it was fairly simple to figure out. No inverter needed for this model I only took ve...

Hi. I will try this when I receive my This is COOL Saturn from Solarisjapan I'll be using toslink cables so I bought this transmitter: m So I just solder it up like this? Pin 1: GND Pin 2: 5V Pin 3: TXP from CS8406 I don't understand why you lifted the pins on the TDA1386T? It doesn't say that it's ...
