just the same prob here. got a saturn with 21-pin cd and a 64-pin ic
just looked at the instructions, but i must be blind. i didnt get what to do exactly. i just got a chip from a friend, who had one flying around, but that damn thing wont work. i would buy one from you guys, if it just works!!! :-)

I used these instructions here as Ive already modded my 64 pin:

You solder the signal wire to the hole left of where the signal wire is basicly B on teh picture:

thats all you have to solder besides teh power wire.

The AB trick is a very good way of doing this... but be warned it works 99% of the time on the 32pins... and from my own personal experience about 40% of the time on those 64pins.

I will say though that every time the AB worked... it also worked soldered right to the chip. So just cross the AB and go from there... it is SO MUCH EASIER. That 64 pin chip is annoying to solder to as the space between each pin is very small.

Yeah soldering to that small ass chip is dangerous for a newb. I tried to solder a chip on a ps2 board. lemme tell you it wasnt pretty.

But anyways When my soldering job was done it worked first try. at least once I figured out how to get it to work.

well i finally got my 64 pin saturn to work after doing the a to b thingy and changing the region code to pal on the games.but the frustration dam near made me break my chip and stomp on my saturn.this was my first soldering experience to,kinda hard to do.
