Just got me a good deal on a Japanese Saturn pad. Hopefully it works on my US Saturn. If not, I can just get me a Japanese Saturn in the future.

I hear these controllers are some of the best ever made for any platform. Here is the auction I won.

The Japanese Saturn pad will work on the US unit ONLY if you region mod the system.  You also need to modify the video signal from NTSC-U to NTSC-J or it will not work.  Finally, you need a Pro Action Replay cartridge (must be v 1.1, no higher or lower!!) and will need to input the code:
F6000924 C305
B7002800 0000
F6000524 C305
B6002800 0000
160A6870 0200
160A6800 0063
F6000914 C305
B6002800 0000

So it's pretty easy and works great!  Oh, and you'll need to put a 1k resistor and a twin-pot transformer in the Japanese pad on wire 3.














































Or you can just plug it in without doing any of the steps above and enjoy it.

turbogfxfan sent me some unexpected goodies!  I was expecting just a loosie Ave 6 pad... instead look at what he sent me!!!!

Very nice.  I want a PCE copy of Godzilla so I can unlock the last two monsters for VS fights; I tried to order one recently, but it was out of stock.

Not bad for $18 new for both at TRU.

Received Blood Gear today! It's a great action/RPG, but I wish I knew Japanese. Maybe I will try Rosetta Stone.

KungFu Hustle is nothing compared to Shaolin Soccer!!!  Don't forget the cheesier Stephen Chow classics the Fight Back to School series and God of Gamber series

[nectarsis]

I still need the Fight Back to Schools...look AWESOME.  IMO Hustle beats Shaolin Soccer handily.  I mean Soccer is a GREAT film..but Hustle is easily a top 5 film of all time for me (especially when you throw in classic HK actors/actresses, with a dash of old Shaw stars)
