Calling all Sega Saturn owners

What is your manufacture date, serial number and model number on your sega saturns.

Gonna make a rough guide to identify a 32 pin IC apart from a 64 pin IC and Sanyo board.

[Ziggy]

Cool. I'll look at mine tomorrow and let you know.

[flojocabron]

ok! I'll tell you. I have some saturns:

Oval button Saturn MK-80000 650048497 June 1995, with letters HD

Round Button Saturn MK-80000A 668027334 August 1996, with letters HD

Round Button Saturn MK-80000A 067081618 September 1996, with letters EF

This may help too...?

Oval button has patent number:5,371,792

Round button has an extra patent number along with the one above: 5,460,374

flojocabron, do you have supplemental data for these systems? what type of IC or roms they have? have you modded them or have internal pics.

Nope sorry. I dont know how to mod. I fear opening them up. One time I took one apart that I found, its outer case was cracked. Just to have a look at it. when I put it back together. I made it worse. I didn't put the plastic(?) sheet back in its place and the the screen was garbled and the colors were crazy.

The oval one is my main console. The round ones are ones that I got recently. If they are busted and dont work I'll take some pics of them. As soon as my lazy ass gets to trying them.

[vlame]

OK. Anyone else?

It's as simple as:

1) Turn the system over and remove 6 screws from the bottom
2) Turn the system back over and lift the top off
3) Locate the IC that's right smack in the middle and tell us how many pins it has
OR: Take a CLEAR picture of the board so we can determine what it has
4) Put the top back on, put the screws back in... DONE!

The hardest part about it will be not loosing the screws, but other than that, unless you're spilling soda all over it, it's a simple thing to do. You don't need to know how to mod. You just have to lift the top of the console off, take a pic, then put it back on. Easy as pie.

OK. Anyone else?

Sorry, I've been busy. I'll let you know when I get the chance.

I'll get the info later but I do suggest poking around segaxtreme.net to see if some of this info has been gathered before.
