Curious who's left in the biz here. I know some people have moved on recently.
At minimum I'll want a region switch or similar.
Stuff like rates and work quality are worth mentioning of course.
US active Saturn modders?

Re: US active Saturn modders?
I can do them, but I usually only work locally as I hate shipping consoles. Someone on here has a thread with really good rates, cheaper than I'd be willing to work for, but I can't find it offhand.
Edit, looks like that was ApolloBoy, and he's closing up shop. I can do a US/J region switch, but honestly, I just use the 4-in-1 action replay carts at this point. I haven't bothered to do a hard wired switch in close to 10 years. By the time you paid to ship it both ways, and parts/labor, you'd probably be better off with the cart unless you're really against it or have to play one of the games with its own add-on cart (I don't even remember what game(s) qualify).

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.
Consoles: I have too much stuff
Arcade: No seriously, I have too much stuff. Someone grab a shovel and dig me out of my basement.

Well hmm. My current system is J, but I have the save memory guzzling US Dragon Force.

Ugh... I had it done on UG so I can't check my PMs anymore.... I know Atreyu187 did my mod chip install (and recap, and laser replacement, for the price of a Genesis... threw those last 2 in for free, nice guy)
As to region switch, I can't remember who did mine, but I had a region free bios replacement put in rather than muck around with switches. I haven't run into any compatibility issues yet.

Gunning for a licensed NES NTSC-U set, follow the madness and poverty here!

True. That'd leave simply getting correct speed in the fussy PAL exclusives.
I've got XRGB mini.

Re: US active Saturn modders?
That region free bios looks nice.
Willing to bet a lot of people over on neo-geo.com could do that for a reasonable price. I think having a soldering iron is a prereq for signing up
Not to go offtopic, but is UG dead?
