    Glad you got it working

    P.S. the brand does not matter I only say that because almost all of then do have have low quality and high quality it depends on who manufactures them and all brand have more than one manufacturer

    basically once you find media that works stick to that

    Is there a way to get Panzer Dragoon Saga running? How should it be patched? I have Pseudo .831 and wondering if it's possible to play it.

    In the unreleased version it is fixed but currently no it will not work

    This is still being worked on but as private builds at the moment, I keep in contact with them so know they have Panzer Dragoon Saga and Panzer Dragoon 2 working

    It would still need patching to bypass the action replay protection though as it has protection against the Hardware ID

    Zorlon, I think you are my savior. This is the second time this month your post has been my #1 interest. (first was PSOX gamertag mod)

    Anyway, I had heard that this mod works on gamesharks as well as action replay. Has anyone confirmed this? I have a gameshark sitting around, but no AR :z


    Also if I want to flash it via PC serial Port, how do i go about doing that? I keep seeing "its possible" as well, but no "Here's what to do after you plug it in" sort of deal, lol.

    This video says to use PSO31.bin, not sure how to install that in windows.

    Thanks for the info!

    Yeah that's the disc I made myself he's wrong about the compat (there are a few games that are yet to work) and Panzer Saga (even after patching it will still not work, well not yet anyway)

    He over complicated the swap you only need to do a single swap rather than the double shown in the video

    Not got time to look just yet but will have a quick look through the source forum and see if anyone uses a Gameshark and see if I can find the PC flash software, but you will need an older PC to use any software as it goes back to the win98 days, hopefully you don't need any special boards like you did for the older Action Replay/Game Shark for the PSX

    P.S. EMS used Datel boards that is the same company that made the Action Replay/GameShark, but I will check for you and make sure someone has actually used one

    Yeah, I've got an old PC.... and know my way around installing with compatibility issues! lol.

    I tried the swap trick method, and no matter what disc i burnt, i got "Disc drive empty" or "disc not compatible with this system". Burned on lowest speed. It would only recognize one of the discs sometimes (speeding up faster)... the others wouldn't do a thing. Used Sony CDs... its all i've got atm.

    I've done swap trick on PS1 just fine, but this saturn just hates me.

    Let me know what you come up with! :3 Thanks!

    Ok yes your cart can be flashed and the Atlas disc is the only one worth using but the laser on the Saturn may just not like the media you are using aka those Sony CD-R's (CD-RW's will not work anyway) took some digging but a user does indeed use a GameShark by Interact (the US version of Datel, they are one in the same company)

    The media thing is not uncommon though, had a few reports like that

    Not had a chance to check the links but http://vberthelot.free.fr/SX/satdev/Tools.html has the comms tools listed

    EDIT: download links seem to work just fine

    I think i have a bricked AR cart, I should try flashing it. I was able to flash my comm link cart easily. The only problem I had is KOF 97 burn would only let me play a couple rounds before crashing to the bios and requiring me to re-seat the cart entirely.

    You can reflash your AR via atlas disc boot the disc insert the cart, go to the flashing effort and make sure it detects the hardware

    PLEASE HELP!

    Im trying to do this on a model 2, i have practice a lot the swapping and i can say i finally got the timing, im able to play cdr games by swapping now

    BUT when i try to boot atlas-pseudo disk and my saturn wont recognize the format, and im doing correctly.

    I have burned it several times using same media and writing speed that my cdr test game.. Im going crazy here what could be wrong?? Please help

    Like i said, i have burn a testing game with the same burner, same speed, same medio as im burning atlas, the game starts ok, but with the ATLAS disk i do the same swapping and all i get is this screen: Saturn-Screen2.jpg

    Please help

    You can do the single swop/swap for this disc if you like it does not need a perfect toc like games do, though personally I still use the double swop/swap

    If you are getting that screen still though it is either the burning or the CD-R's even if the media is the same as games that are working using the same discs/burning speed

    Burning just make sure it is set to x1 in ImgBurn it will then use the slowest possibly burning speed to get the best burn your burning hardware can do.

    Thanks foor the reply Zorlon..

    - I am burning at ImgBurn's 1x speed (i know i will force the buring to the slowest speed the media/burner supports, wich in my case is 10x.
    - I am using Verbatim, wich i've heard are the best, should i get different brands for testing maybe?
    - Can you explain to me the double swop/swap proccess?

    Thank you very much!
