SegaSaturn ISOs/Back Ups Torrents N00b help?

Post by KingPin »

Hi all,
N00b here,
anyone got any advice on how to get ISO files of Jap Sega Saturn Games please?
I began by searching for torrents on google without much luck... but then found this site :D

I have a Jap Saturn the white version if that makes any difference??

Cheers for any advice

:D

Just search for torrent sites
try a site like www.mininova.org
They tend to have NTSC-U, PAL and NTSC-J games for systems on there.

Hi cheers for answering,
mininova.org etc.. are the sites I found through google that mentioned before, not much on any of them TBH especially for NTSC-J.
I found, downloaded and burnt these two below ISOs but couldn't get either of them to work in my Jap Saturn?? anyone have any ideas why??

Saturn nights into dreams ntsc-j http://www.mininova.org/tor/492197
Saturn - Castlevania - Symphony of the Night http://www.mininova.org/tor/259720

So looking around on mininova.org etc.. It seems to be the same bunch of torrents on these sites, there's a handfull (4-5) of Japanese Text RPGS and there's another small handfull of torrents which look promising but none have any seeders. :(

Pleasuredome can help you.

As for getting the ISO's to work, you would need to burn using the correct region and have a mod-chip or use the swap method.

How difficult is it to install the mod-chip

Post by mpozos »

I've always wanted to do it, but haven't had the courage. I haven't even ordered the chip yet, so I know that is the first step.

It's unhealthy but I consider my Sega Saturn a holy relic in my home, and using the tools I've used countless times to fix toilets, cabinets, etc. on this blessed artifact seems like heresy. Like I'm defiling something precious.

Am I more neurotic about this than is generally accepted of techno-geeks?

Cheers!

Not sure if this answers your question, but its supposedly one of the easiest consoles to mod (I don't have personal experiences to compare it with). But a lot of it can depend on what model your Saturn is.

But I can understand being nervous about altering a beloved machine -- I've been there :)
