I'm in the market for a switchless Sega Saturn system with modchip, much like the one's showcase on youtube. Where you cycle through regions with the reset button and the power led changes color depending on which region you are set to. Also would like it to be in pretty good condition.

I'm located in the US so if there's anyone out there that's in the states and have one for sale let me know.

Do you have your heart set on the push button method for switchless? There is an alternative I've been installing into Saturns that is a simple BIOS chip swap that renders the Saturn region free with nothing more done on your part than putting the disc in and turning it on. Of course this doesn't handle 50/60hz modes either.

I don't have a premodded Saturn on hand right this second but I can acquire one and install the fixins, modchip included.

Ahh.. If that's the case then I can do without the reset button method. I figured it was the only way to have multi- region mod with the system.

I could purchase a Saturn and send it to you but the turn around would be much longer so if you acquire one and have it worked on it would be much appreciated.

Also I don't know if you have any dealings with Scart RGB cables for a Saturn I'm looking for one recently bought one from Robb over at console goods for the SNES but I don't see one listed for Saturn.

Once I have the Saturn in my hands turn around is usually a day or two as I have all the parts I need on hand.

Not sure how long it would take to get ahold of fully functional model 2 right now. How much are you looking to spend for the whole shebang?

Typically I install the BIOS chip for $30 (chip included) and modchips for $25. Compare with RacketBoy and SegaStyle who want ~$35 for a modchip alone.

I'm in no rush really whenever you can find one just let me know and depending on the condition of the system I'll be generous.
