I've been told by some this is an early PSYQ system for the Saturn but Im not able to confirm that at all. It doesn't look like any PSYQ I've seen around. Im trying to find concrete evidence of what this is exactly and how much it could possibly be worth. It also has a CD Emulation manual with it which is 123 pages. It has some slots for floppies but they werent included. It also has a cable which attatches to a PC and then the system itself. I acquired it through a lot which the seller would not break up. I have no interest in this item and now that my credit card debt is rearing its ugly head this month Im looking to possibly sell it. I have pictures below, if you can offer any help with ID'ing it, or pricing it that would be fantastic. NOTE: I am not selling this yet, Im merely looking to ascertain what this is, what it does and how much its worth.
I think this is a PAL dev The DB25 connector is a SCSI-2 port. The unit can be hooked up to a Psy-Q CD Emulator board in a PC or to a Mirage CD Emulator. To do some serious dev you also need the (blue) Psy-Q dev cart (SCSI-2) to upload and run executables, or an EMS 4M Action Replay cart (Comms Link). You need a System Disc to boot CD-Rs without any tricks. However since this model has the disc access LED the "swap trick" is easy to perform. Cheers! CF
pretty much from the looks of it. The offical saturn dev kit was a huge pain in the ass to work with from what i read so they basicly made these as an easier cheaper alterntaive.
The SCSI-board in these dev Saturns is connected in-line on the flat flex cable beetween the motherboard and the CD-board (just like a modchip). I don't think you can do anything, but CD-emulation, from a PC. To run executables directly you need to hook-up to the system bus through the cart port. CF
