You don't need to bump, threads get pruned a little slower on /vr/

Thanks. I couldn't pass it up, even though the onyl Saturn game I have is Daytona.

You can buy a Laser off of aliexpress they are like
$25
I am sure their are guides on how to do it yourself

>>3817318
Are there any affordable SD card solutions yet?

>>3817320
No not like what you have for the dream cast, I know what you mean though
I bought a mod chip for the original playstation and all that came in the mail was a single chip that you had to solder on yourself and poorly photocopied instructions that were blurry as hell

>>3817320
Some guy is developing it, but it will take a while until it is out there available to the public.

Adjust the laser pot and the tray height, and you got a 50% chance of fixing it; most of the time the laser still works, just can't focus right.

>Also, what's the status of Dr. Abrasive's USB port mod?
He took Guile's advice.

Rhea has been available for 2 years now.

My recommended repair is to buy a modded jap saturn for $5. It's worked for me several times. You could probably swap the parts you need if you don't like the master race case.

My saturn's cd drive just stopped working, I think. I literally hear nothing powering on or moving, with or without a disc. Not sure what'sup. its just completely dead it seems. unit powers on and will go to main menu.
>>3817523
how do i take off the plastic part covering the cd mechanism. its also covering the pot access maybe i can get at it with tweezers or something. also how do you adjust the tray height?

Getting a job doesn't solve the availability problem.

abrasive is doing patreon for now to fund the release of the usb loader. He plans to have it out this year.

Your unsecure

>>3823812
Take the modchip out first, see if it works without it. You have it installed wrong anyway, that model does not need a sync cable (the same signal is in the ribbon), and you should get power from the positive leg of the cap on the cd board.

But projecting makes him feel better about his inadequacies.

>>3817505
Yeah that's Dr Abrasive in the video. I don't think there's been an update vid since last July, been really curious about it too.

>availability problem
What problem? You just subscribe to blog and order when it's available. Last batch was just 2-3 weeks ago.
