    What mod do i need ? and where to get it ?

    a dev console would do the job right ? but those prices are to high for just testing/playing those saturn proto's

    You boot prototypes on the Saturn using a system disc - it's not necessary to use a development console (and, in fact, a development console without a system disc won't boot CD-Rs anyway, just like a retail).

    If you don't have a system disc (or the right system disc, since there are two - one for Sega developed titles and the other for 3rd party titles). then you can use any other method that will let you boot CD-Rs on a Saturn. If you have a spare Action Replay you don't mind reflashing look at the "Pseudo Saturn" thread - although this will still require you to use the swap trick once to get the cart flashed.

    Yeah, all the others sound like 3rd party titles - so you need the black KD-02 system disk.

    dont know what the problem whas, i tryed all regions ntsc pal and jap. it did see the music that is on the disc.

    i am shure the will work becuase the worked at the original owner i have seen it, his saturn is specialy modded some how not the normal mod as i already tryed.

    i found a disc that should work like a softmod, the used this at magazinbes to play proto's. once it in in will try :) should work i geus

    didnt made back ups jet, should do that soon.

    It's pretty much guaranteed that that softmod/boot disc you mention (which is most likely one of the system discs) won't work without a modchip, flashed AR, or doing the swap trick. ...unless you found a real, physical one, in which case: good catch! (Unlikely though.) In any case, region patching never hurts, give that a try some time.

    If all you want is to occasionally run a proto, the swap trick would probably be sufficient imho. It's not that hard and/or annoying, really, once you get the hang of it.
