Do you have any retail game discs? If so, are you able to play them with the mod chip installed?

Do you have any other burned games that you can try? Perhaps the one game that you downloaded is broken.

Also, what program are you using to burn the BIN/CUE to a disc?

Thanks dear friend for your quick response.

I have several games retail.

I have downloaded several games, i try burn with CDR.WIN with 4X on imation CD-R, and img burn 16X with imation.

i dont really try retail games at all with mod chip yet....

i have tried the chip on model 2 sega saturn but dont spin the CD at all, and the sound of the menus and are in slow motion... very strange....

i go to show the pictures of the install in the model 2.

Well it's kinda hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like the two wires you soldered should be making the connection. But if the disc isn't spinning, then there's definitely a problem somewhere.

I would try reseating all the ribbon cables and the chip itself. Be careful when removing the cables and the chip. If you pull on the red and blue wires you can easily break one of the solder connections. You might wanna tape the wires down so it'll be a little harder to pull them off.

Should not make a difference but have you tried A+B method for the signal wire?

Those looks like 32 pin IC so it really should work right away. Make sure the ribbon cable is flipped the right way going into the chip since it will fit either way. Look for the contacts in the socket for the cable and chip to make sure everything is facing the right way. Definitely test with a "real" game before trying a burned one.

Does anything show up on the CD player screen, despite the disc not spinning?
