Prican25 Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 i heard there was a swap trick you could play backups with except those that use the ram cart
lancerx Posted April 29, 2004 Author Posted April 29, 2004 where can i find more info?, i guess this can be ask. right?
kaioshade Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 The swap trick is incredibly hard to perform. i would recommend just getting a chip. theyre not very expensive at all, and quite easy to install.
Wizard Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 i heard there was a swap trick you could play backups with except those that use the ram cartIt is possible with a ram cart, it's just EXTREMELY hard to preform so.
kaioshade Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 Ok here is the lowdown on doing the swap trick with a ram cart game. (assuming you havea us saturn) Im not giving the timing just the procedure. Place the converter in the cart slot. First thing is the initial swap. Place the copied disc, then load it, swap out with an original Second swap, take the orignal disc then place it in Third swap, take the original back out and place the copy in When game loads, take out the converter cart and place ram cart in the slot. 4 swaps. And a big pain to do it successfully. ive only dont it once, then got a midchip the next day.
N3oGhost Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 I did the swap trick without a Ram Cart. I dont recommend it since its so hard and it doesnt work for all backups. Chips are cheap and the saturn is an easy board to solder. Dont know how easy it is to find a chip these days or a saturn for that matter but do the chip thing.
DanManXZ Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 There are ram carts that let you play backup games.
lancerx Posted April 29, 2004 Author Posted April 29, 2004 I'll try to find the chip, meybe in ebay i can find it. thanks!!
StriderSkorpion Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 DanManXZ, I don't think so, but some do let you play imports. Maybe you're confusing it with the PSX version? Lancerx, it's not too difficult to find sites selling the Saturn mod-chip, it's just a matter of if it's in stock. To find more info about the swap trick, go to SegaXteme and check out the Help & FAQs section. There should be a Saturn swap trick tutorial.
