So I have a Saturn modded with the original modchip sometime around 2002 maybe, and when I pulled it out recently to try some games on it it wouldn't work. Regardless of if it was a legit game or a copy I put in, all I got was it loading to the dashboard screen and giving me the regular audio controls.

The mod chip is the SSIC8B (single ribbon) model on a blue PCB, and my Saturn is a Model 2 (round buttons) with the 32 Pin IC, really the best one to use with this type of modchip. Checked the continuity off pin 14 and power and everything seems fine as well.

Finally, when I removed the chip and the wires to it, the system will boot and play pressed discs perfectly fine. If the chip was installed at all then it would take a long time to boot to the dash and then and act like there was a music CD in there.

Any ideas on what could be wrong with (what I assume is) the modchip?
