This is the one I bought:
I got an "elite" one just to get the new chips. I don't know what the differnces between the different vendors are, but I just waited until there was a sale and bought one.

If I get one without the sd card then I would just need to add the firmware and roms?
Yeah. If you message them then will send you a link, I believe it is just the main code branch (tpunix).

Yes, I'm aware of the ISO's not being compatible. The two I've tried were bin/cue files, but it's good to hear that you've found a rom that works. I'll have to seek that one out. Appreciate the info.
Every multi-disc game I've played so far allows you to save before you switch discs. So, you just reset and start the appropriate disc and load your save.
All the ODEs (i.e. Fenrir) also work the same way. I thought I had read that all games allow you to save before swaping discs. So, as far as I know, all multi-disc games would work.

Other than the cart slot cover needing a clean up it looks good. Once the novelty wears off, the price should come down. It doesn't feel cheap or that it's fragile.
I'm thinking about a fram mod, Hi Saturn splash screen and recapping it. Right now it's "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
In case goob boy reads this...yes I goobed out.

I wanted to do an FRAM mod on mine, but I found out that it doesn't increase the capacity, so its still that piddly amount of save space. Im better off just saving my games to a Action Replay regardless.
Thats a cool 3D printed case. Did you print it or did you buy it?

Firmware v0.7 dropped last week. Includes a memory manager, cover art, and playing burned discs, among other things.

I'm excited for the Saroo - but I'm still going to wait just a bit longer to grab one to iron out a few more bugs and compatibility issues. Keenly watching this project, though. Thankfully, my OG Saturn from the 90's is still going strong.

Retro RGB has some good info on what/where to buy. That said, it can be daunting looking at Alixpress. I have heard that you want a "new" board set and not a refurbished board set. 0.7 just got released, so I would imagine you can update the firmware of whatever you purchase.
