I would.... Especially since you need the wire to be connected to one of those points.

Allright... I got it soldered to 14. And lo and behold it works.... well sort of. My regular Saturn games work, like NiGHTS. But my burned disk comes up as "unsuitable." Could that be due to region issues? Like if my rom is (E) for Europe instead of for the US? How can I correct that?

Yes, "unsuitable" usually means it's a region issue. That's not a hard fix at all.
Best way it to patch the region of the ISO (CD version of a ROM) and re-burn it.

Here's your info for region-related stuff:

I've looked at that site, but I can't find anything that would help me with region changing... maybe I'm just blind. Where is there information?

EDIT: nevermind... I'm a moron.

I found some that I'm downloading, and hopefully that will work. I figure that if it gives me the unsuitable message, everything else must be right... hopefully.

Crap... the only one I found there is in another language. I tried going through the installation, but it gives me an error, and won't install...

Hmmm.... I'll have to see what I can find when I get home.
Can you shoot me an email to remind me?

Here's the link to where I found the one that won't work. It's in Spanish, so I can't understand where to click. But whatever I click it seems to give me an error. I'll shoot you an email later too, but hopefully I'll figure it out before then.

EDIT: I also tried this one that you mentioned elsewhere.

It said that it had an error and can't initialize.

Do you have the .Net runtime installed? It's required on SRP.

I don't know what that is... so maybe not?
