Sega Saturn Question in Regards to Back-Up Games

Post by HeavyMetalMe »

I just recently bought a SegaCD and I'm pleased with how easily it plays my back-up games with no modulation.

On the other end of the spectrum, I know my Dreamcast needs me to toss in a disc prior to a back-up game, which is a hassle (and did I read somewhere it's bad for the GD-ROM drive?)

Well, my question is this- Is there an easy way to go about playing backed-up games on a Saturn? I'm anticipating purchasing one soon, and I've seen both, a disc swap method and a mod chip. Does the mod chip entail disc swapping too?

Thanks.

there are dreamcast games that dont need a swap disc. most later rips are self-booting. also, its no worse for a drive than playing a music CD in it. as for the saturn, the modchip does not need a swap disc.
need console mods or repairs? check my thread here:
