This is a NTSC-U Saturn with a VA8 motherboard. I have installed a replacement for the stock mask rom with a flash IC containing a BIOS hacked to remove region checks.
On top of that I have also installed the traditional "modboard" allowing for the play of backup titles on CD-R. This Saturn was able to boot my personal golden standard for discs which is a copy of Resident Evil given to me some years ago. It is a pressed disc, however it is one of the most badly scratched/scuffed/scraped/damaged discs I have ever seen. This Saturn boots it up and allows for play skipping a bit during the FMVs. Given it can do this I'm 99% sure the laser is a strong workhorse and should play the crappiest of burns you can throw at it. However you're a horrible, horrible person if you buy Staples brand CD-Rs and burn them at 48x let alone put them into this temple of a console.
The case is in pretty good condition cosmetically speaking. I have also taken out the battery this one came with and installed a brand new CR2032. It does come with one controller (model 2 style), a power cable, and an A/V cable. The controller is a bit dinged up unfortunately but appears to function superbly.
There is just one downside to this awesome beauty of a Saturn. It comes with an RF modulator as opposed to composite or S-Video cables. Sadly I cannot find any and the person who sold this to me apparently enjoyed having noise on his TV from every source of RF interference in a mile radius.
Asking price? $170 shipped via USPS priority mail anywhere in the United States. I have no issue shipping this internationally but the aforementioned price is not valid if it has to cross the US border.
