Hi, first post here. This site seems to have more information than anywhere else, regarding the Saturn Swap trick.
I just acquired my unit, the previous owner showed me the swap trick (One time, wooo!). And then I took it home. I've spent nearly four straight hours now, trying to get this thing down.
I'm using Virtua Fighter 2, and I've been working with a backup of Street Fighter Something-or-other. (I really don't care, but it's the one I have SEEN work).
I have successfully booted three times. In four hours.
Needless to say, frustration has already come and passed; and I'm about to launch this thing out the window... All I wanted to do was play Nights and Offworld Interceptor.... *cries*.
I can't seem to do the swap right. It's a model one, complete with handy-dandy access light. I stick the burned in, wait until the light stops blinking, than scramble to switch discs instantly.
At this point one of two things happens:
-The system makes a strange noise, takes way too long to access the security sectors, and boots to menu
or
-The system blinks once, and a second or two later blinks a total of three-four times before I gank the disc from the system to place the copy back in.
Then it spins faster, slows down, makes a weird noise, and after ten seconds boots to the music player. Then I curse. It's all very scientific.
Can someone help me out here? It sounds so SIMPLE, I've done all kinds of mods, I work with hardware all the time, and I play twitch-reflex games a LOT. I really shouldn't be having this problem. I would really appreciate some help on this, or if anyone can suggest an alternate method, that would be great too. I know chips are better, and I am looking into it; but I have to scrap some more spare cash for that, and I will have to mod the modchip to make it work, so it's kind of a pain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance. (And yes, I've scoured the forum for more tips already, didn't find much, but I like the switch to turn off the cd drive's power, I am contemplating it in the future....)
