You will want to solder eventually, but its a start

I never soldered it. I just made sure to insert the power wire into the PSU's pin holders first, then pressed the PSU down onto the power pins, so that the mod chip's wire was clamped tightly against the contacts. Never had an issue.racketboy wrote:LOL -- just start with the A+B method and just wedge to power cable in there.neohx_7 wrote:I have a chip from Racketboy, but I have been too scared to install it yet... :/

I got home from work tonight and my modchip was in the mail waiting for me. Nice turn-around time, racketboy. I ordered it less than 4 days ago.
I finished modding my Model 2 32-pin Saturn in under 15 minutes. I made a nice little solder bridge between A + B on the modchip then soldered the power wire to pin 2 on my power board. It booted Akumajo Dracula X immediately. I put the screws back in and then replaced the Saturn's battery.
The mod was easy. It almost took longer to remove the screws than it did to do the mod. I did find it helpful to file the modchip down on one side before instering it into the mainboard.
Thanks, racketboy!
