Try cleaning the contacts in the cart slot and the contacts on the cart itself, that should help.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to open up your Saturn and give it a good cleaning, get some air in a can at your local Radio Shack it will help a good bit.

most 3rd party carts suck.

usually putting them in, and pulling them out slightly works.

its best not to hot-swap carts at all. that will kill the slot.

just get a 4-in-1 and leave it in

Cart-swapping probably killed it. Just take 10 minutes and mod the damn thing.

Jigen is absolutely correct. I got my mod from what turns out to be a not-so-good dealer, <a href="http://www.playthegames.com" target="_blank">www.playthegames.com</a>

The thing is, it didn't work ANYTHING like they said it would. I had to basically custom solder the damned thing to even get it working.

Someone tell him where to find a good dealer?

If he's comfortable doing it, I'll do it for 20.00. It's really not that hard.

Kyo 2000 · Jul 6, 2002

Hot damn, that's pretty cool of you.

I'd have offered to do it, but I don't have easy access to the mod chips.

Chip? I was going to put in a territory switch.

Jeff... a switch is a switch... DPDT and DPST from memory, or 4 pole 3 way.

check <a href="http://www.gamesx.com" target="_blank">www.gamesx.com</a> for mod diags.

do at your own risk! but it works

Kyo, don't bother with a mod chip. just do the same

Kyo 2000 · Jul 7, 2002

Well yeah, that's my fault. Back when I did my Saturn I didn't know you could just do a switch.
