How much is a Sega Saturn Cross Products development console worth? I got it from ebay a few months ago for around $30 shipped. I'll probably never sell it but I'd like to know what it's worth.

Got any pics? I've got a Saturn Dev console myself and it cost me something like $200. Not sure if it's the same thing though...

Yeah, I posted in the import forum awhile ago:


Got this Japanese Sega Saturn on ebay for $31.52 shipped. Was sold "as is", but I tested it out with my cables/games/controllers/memory carts and it works perfectly.

Even better; it turns out it's a Cross Products development system.

There are cables coming out from the front and rear.

There's a port on the side, a "VCD/CD" switch (don't know what it does; only works when set to CD), and a reset button.

Next to that is a red knob that changes the Saturn's region along with a sticker listing the settings.
I've identified them as:
1: Japan
2: Asia NTSC
4: North America
5. Central/South America NTSC
6: Korea
A: Asia PAL
C: Europe PAL
D: Central/South America PAL

Tested it with my Japanese and US games and it does actually work! I don't know what the rest of the settings do.

There are also extra vents on the other side.

Here's a page with some info and pics of what a complete rig looks like:

It's definitely different from my Psygnosis dev Saturn (labeled a "Psy-Q Development System"). Same model, same color, different mods. Mine's got the same serial port on the right side, but has none of the three switches yours has. Instead I've got a bank of 4 tiny dip switches which allow region changes. Guess that's instead of the red knob. I also don't have cables coming out of the front and back of mine. I don't have the extra vents either.

I'd guess it's worth around the same as mine. I paid $200 shipped, and mine is boxed with some Psygnosis docs on how to use it. Would think yours is worth around $100-150. Hell of a nice score for $30!
