Burning program - IMG burn and alcohol 120% burning at X4
Blank CD's use = memorex CD-R 700mb 80min 52x
Sega Saturn model 2 No Mod chip

I've had this problem before. Make sure you have a good ROM. If you are still having trouble, you could try burning the games differently. There's probably nothing wrong with your Saturn.

It's bad for the system anyway, so better to mod/cart.

After having problems with some games I tried to boot with the backup and wait for the Saturn recognize it as not being a valid game (can take up to 20 sec), then switch to the original and press reset before making the swap - and now they all work.

No the Saturn is not chipped.
