    Congrats on finding it! I hate it when I lose something for long periods of time.

    Region free BIOS, modchip I believe that's about it. There's probably more though.

    Congratulations. You might consider getting a hold of an Action Replay or other bootable cart to flash it with Pseudo Saturn (look at the corresponding thread in this forum), it basically works like the modchip, but uses the cart slot. If you're into power cleaning, then rather than replacing a caps, i recommend you to replace the whole power supply (there is a PSU replacement topic in DC section). US saturns only need a 5V supply (3A should be enough), i'm not sure about EU ones, they might need 9V too, or maybe something else...

    if you plan on getting a modchip and the region free bios you might as well get the 50/60hz switch since you're from Europe

    Fished the Pseudo install Satur(n)day, use the swapdisk trick to boot ATLUS Installer 831, and then flash the Action Replay plus.;)

    First i flashed the wrong version so my backups din´t boot but i gotten the new menu so i was pleased.
    When i have seen the different version number in the menu i reflashed the card. To the latest version.
    Then it worked for the test backup. I have read the hole thread and was thinking my backup is not patched so that's why :p
    After the reflash it booted the game perfect. I have panzer dragoon and tried that one to and works also nice to see its been patched.
    Now i can leave the card in it for ever :D

    Next step 50/60hz switch :cool:
