A neat trick for telling which you need if you have a model 1: Open the disc cover and look through the hole where the right hinge is. If you see a white ribbon cable going across, you'll need a Rhea. If you don't see one, you'll need a Phoebe.

@InvictvsNox 5 лет назад

@Mykil84 6 лет назад

Awesome, I'd been hoping these would get spotlighted by you guys eventually. I happen to have a Model 1 that's functional but the CD drive no longer works that a Rhea would be perfect for. Thanks again for always showcasing these mods.

@blizzzilla 6 лет назад

I didn't realize that these ODEs were so easy to install. Now if only they were as easy to buy... But until my disc drive fails I'll just stick with discs. The noise is kinda nostalgic.

@EposVox 6 лет назад

This is really neat, though I'm not sure I'd do it unless I had two Saturns. Definitely will wait and see what that MPEG slot exploit turns up.

@MrSadface 6 лет назад

If you're ordering a Phoebe, if you take apart your Saturn before ordering, you can match your consoles CD drive to one of the types of model 2 Saturns (types 2, 3, and 4) and Deunon will do the soldering for you! In the rare event that you have a CD drive that doesn't match a console description, you can send him a picture and he'll help confirm which type of model 2 you have (e.g. the site says all type 4s have white borders on the PCBs, but mine does despite having a type 3 CD drive).

@MrSadface 6 лет назад

ChronoSonic open up your Saturn and see which CD drive is inside your Saturn. There are three types of model 2 Saturns and if you select the right one if you can get an order in he'll do the soldering for you.

@DieHardjagged 6 лет назад

5:06 Also, if you want to save time (and a blank disc!) instead of burning the Bin/Cue to a disc, just use the free program called Daemon Tools Lite to mount the Bin/Cue. DiscJuggler will simply see this as a disc in a virtual drive, now you can just rip it as a .cdi image.

@Formedras 3 года назад

@@sunnyforest3239 If you said "2GB" I might be willing to humor you. But no. The original Secure Digital Card spec supported up to 1GB, but could manage 2GB cards fine, albeit slightly off-spec. Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) officially starts at 2GB and goes up to 32GB, but could theoretically handle up to 2TB... which is what Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) goes up to, while adding support for additional speed standards. So any reader that takes 4GB cards can easily take 32GB cards, and may or may not be capable of larger.

@thomu8372 6 лет назад

To clarify about the soldering, This is only needed if you want to change the video mode through the device or if you've bought a phoebe for a different type of saturn model revision. Rhea is for early model 1 consoles wich is refered to as type 1. Phoebe has 3 types. Type 2 is for later model 1 consoles and early model 2 consoles and type 3 and type 4 for later model 2 consoles. If you buy a phoebe type 4 while your sega saturn is type 2 you'll have to adjust 1 or 2 jumpers by soldering and or desoldering those. Also you can tell if a model 1 is for rhea or phoebe type 2 by the hole for the power supply socket. If the hole is bigger than the power supply socket and t shaped then it's an early model 1. if the hole is the same size as the power supply socket then it's a later model 1.

Still running a Rhea - finally broke out my Saturn for some TATE shooting action, (having recently acquired a 2030 PVM). I wondered if the "MODE" blew this out of the water...still - coming back here to confirm the rip process...great to have this documented and clearly (you're doing the Lord's work) - Frustrating that I have to re-burn existing images in order to rip them proper from Disc juggler - but it does work. Would be nice if Discjuggler worked from img files...one could dream. Hey I found some old CD-Rs in storage...from like 20 years ago - still work...haha, even my 10 year + BD burner (even though I have to manually pull the tray out). Hey if it gets me playing DonPachi tonight, I'm happy. Thanks again!

@Operator0G 6 лет назад

The downside of the GDEMU guy's ordering system is the timing if you're in the US. 5am to most of us is like 1pm to him, which is from what i've seen is when he opens preorders. I got lucky and managed to get a preorder from his most recent batch of rhea's through staying up like crazy lol.

Im hesitant to get the phoebe cause the waiting list is always full and its hard to put in your order when it goes up.

@hyzenthlay7151 6 лет назад

Seeing as I live in such a humid environment I've been adding a small silica gel bag in each of my CD game cases (I paid like $2 for 100 baggies of the stuff), and it helps to eliminate the humidity factor of discrot, and I practically live in the dark too, so no light issues. If it happens, it happens, but I've done things to help prevent some factors. As far as the hardware is concerned, it is a shame to have to remove a piece to replace it with this, kind of removes the "original" aspect of the console, but if you got a second console for this mod it would be great. One question I do have is about the game save states... are they still limited to the tiny onboard memory and the cartridge? Or can you now also save games to the SD card too? Great video guys!!

@swytchblayd 3 года назад

So glad there are newer, higher-run versions available now :) The ebay prices for these are absolutely nuts, and the maker hasn't been selling them to certain places (including the USA) since the whole virus started. Now we have the Fenrir (cheaper, early mo.1 Saturn consoles only, high but not perfect compatability) and the MODE (more expensive, works on all Saturn AND Dreamcast consoles, supposedly perfect compatability) and can run just about any major image files. No more burning in weird formats and overpriced, rare ODE scouring on ebay, etc.

@CarcinogenSDA 6 лет назад

Great video, Coury! I was hoping you guys would cover mass storage for optical disc consoles at some point. I’ve been looking into this mod myself but since speedruns require more accurate loads i’m hesitant to move forward with it. Have you guys heard anything about anything similar with any PlayStation models? I know of the one that attaches to the serial port on the SCPH-1000 models, but nothing for later models with better firmware. To my knowledge there is also a PS1 “emulator” for PS2 that runs the ISO through the PlayStation Driver of the unit... which means more accuracy. Popsloader I think it’s called. I have it somewhere, it can be loaded with FCMB/uLauncherELF. Don’t know who made it, it was on AssemblerGames forums before it went down, but a friend of mine sent it to me. I personally haven’t had the time to try it, so would you be willing to give it a go?

@ThePhantomnaut 6 лет назад

Popstarter. Yeah it can be loaded through uLELF. Compatibility should be good but I had issues with some games, some minor and others just don't work after selecting a specific thing. It ultimately depends on where you save it from. Hard drives should be the best. Since I know what you are looking for, I think the RE games should work fine on Popstarter. Also the project actually died a week or so ago so there should be the final build out there.

@ThePhantomnaut 6 лет назад

A reason to buy a saturn IMO.....because I rarely find saturn games in the wild.

@CommodoreFan64 6 лет назад

Same I've seen PS1, PS2, and PS3 games out in the wild more then anything else but I never see Saturn games in my area, hell I've even come across lose Atari Lynx games at my local Goodwill before, and even a complete Dreamcast and Dremcast keyboard in their original boxes with all the manuals, and packaging, but again never a single SEGA Saturn Game, controller, or system. So yeah this does give me a good reason to buy a Saturn, and Action replay to finally play a lot of the games I've missed out on over the years.

@Stranded360 6 лет назад

I've seen a few generics at goodwill in seattle, and some more generics in a thrift store in montana....that is it . I never had a saturn that I can recall....so it is very much a mysterious machine other than being a failed console that I look forward to playing and enjoying it for the first time near sega's glory years.

@rodrigomolinsky 6 лет назад

3:22 Actually, there is a way to know by the serial number. I know the 2nd number of the serial is the year of the board (in the example, the "5" means is was a 1995 board). But I don't if the 1st or the 3rd is the board revision or the manufacter. Because rhea works on the VA0, so I believe it is the 3rd number since the model at the 3:22 doesn't have the VA0 board for sure. edit: Ok, my bad, the console at 3:22 is the 1st model (I thought it was the 2nd model), so I still don't know which number of the serial is the board revision.

Awesome video! A couple of questions though: you mentioned if a game requires the 4 meg cart, this works great ... does that mean my Saturn wouldn't need the cart anymore? Phoebe and Rhea run those games without that cart? Second question: how does it work with imports? I am in North America but I want to play Final Fight Revenge (don't judge me) so considering that game is both Japan only PLUS requires the 4 meg cart, I've been unable to play it. Would this SD mod answer my dilemma? Thanks for a very informative video!

@Futuredynamo 6 лет назад

I'm very interested in getting one of these. Early last year I went to use my original Saturn that I got for Christmas in 1995 for the first time in probably a year or two, and discovered that the optical drive stopped reading discs. I kind of freaked out, and ended up buying three replacement/back up units (another US model 1, a US Model 2, and a Japan Model 1), all of which work as of now. I've been tentatively planning to try and get my original one repaired as well, but I may just go this route with it since the optical drive seems to be "toast" anyway.

I rarely ever played sega as a kid though my cousin had a mega drive. Loved playing Aladdin. I think it's great this is being done. It's preserving what came before.

@dend1853 5 лет назад

I miss the fact that on the new systems we pretty much cant even just play a game without the internet or have to almost download the whole game just to play it.I Just bought an Xbox one X and I didnt take it out of the box and try it for like 2weeks but I got a hold of a Saga saturn and some game and popped in Die Hard and just reminded me of the early days when I actually played video games starting from sega genesis and my Turboduo that I still have today.Never played my saturn much and i didnt care for it much probably cause of my Turboduo being so kick ass Cause of all of them shooter shmucs but realized the sega also have some awesome Japanese shooters I didnt know that until rec.I still have my saturn but I noticed one at a thrift store and bought it for pretty cheap and with die hard inside the console it also had a gameshark in it to then later I found Rayman, Clockwork knight 2 and mr bones and a few others.A couple days before that I purchased an xbox one x and didnt open my new xbox one x for like 2 weeks but when I bought the sega saturn I started playing die hard right off the bat yet I love the collecting of the vintage games but for playing them its just not the same for me but hell for my cell phone I just wish I could just put it down most of the time cause the cell phone is more addicting than any of those game consoles.oh and for changing out a little memory card from the cd rom dvd based games is a bit of a of a bummer

@_Kenshin 11 месяцев назад

@10:16 Games like D2 that don't ask you to save before a disc swap automatically do it without any user interaction, so that button isn't needed at all.

@PabstOban 6 лет назад

I just ordered a Rhea's, I'm really excited to get it. If you have a US Saturn and have a Rhea installed, will you have any region challenges or 4 meg expansion cart issues while swapping regions? Like... Will you need an Action Replay to play Japanese CD Images? Like... will I be able to play the US Resident Evil 2, then play say... X-Men vs Street Fighter with the 4meg upgrade cart without any funny swapping?

@SchokobomberLP 6 лет назад

there is also a flashcard for the playstation, the so called PSIO, you shuold try this out too, cause the playstation is way more prone to laser failure than the saturn in my opinion. It lets you also use your disks aswell, it operates of the parallel port ;D

@MilkWasABadChoice17 5 лет назад

would be cool to replace my dead saturn drive with one of these ... would be ... but it does cost twice as much as a used saturn - wich is already expensive. but it is the only option we have because that mpeg card slot thing you mentioned isn't even going anywhere - seen one video about it and NEVER heard from it again. ever.

I'm wondering if one of those for the PS1 and/or PS2 will be a thing. I hope it does in the future... for the Saturn, this looks awesome!

[Try4ce] You kind of can do this on the PS2 with any unit that has a hard drive bay. While it takes a bit of a different form, there is also this for PS1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fD8___jsiqs.html

Serial numbers do work so long as the innards haven't been messed with and the console has all original parts. Last six digits are the serial number the next number is the revision or if its a letter then it would be a=10 b=11 and so on the next number to that is the year it was manufactured and the first one or two character are the manufacture code. Its worked for me so far without looking inside the console so long as it is all original has hasn't been messed with.

Pro-Tip: If you use an SDCARD with WiFi like the Eye-Fi, or Toshiba Flash-Air, or Transcend, or EZ Share then you don't have to keep putting the SD card in your computer to get games on it. You can do it completely wirelessly from your network. This will work with any unit that uses a full sized SDCARD. I use one on my Canon cameras to upload pics to the Internet.
