Pal Saturn 60hz mod made simple

60 hz switchless mod

i have a oval button saturn very early model with the blue reset button in the battery compartment model :MK-80200-50
i did the switchless mod on it had to lift pin 79 for 50/60hz as i tried the SW4 way and my saturn used to lockup everytime i tried to switch to 60hz
everything seems to work fine this way all games boot fine in all regions but when i try to put in 60hz the screen on the bottom lifts up having about 3-4 inches black on the bottom of the screen
its a pal console connected using a scart cable connected to my 3d lcd tv
any ideas please guys

 

You probably didnt need to lift pin 79, JP1 and JP2 would have probably done it

 

60 hz switchless mod

this is the same board numbers as mine 837-11892-01AL when my machine was locking up on the SW4 pad i tried this info and all seems ok apart from when i try to switch to 60 hertz the games dont crash/freeze still playable
guess i'll try jp1 way see if that works

thanx for quick reply
guess i'll give

 

If the post you quoted is correct (not personally seen that board), then you would need to lift the pin.

Have you tried powering off the console and back on after changing modes? rather than doing it while its on?

 

yes

i just noticed i got 2x different scarts and 1 scart lifts the bottom of the screen and the other pulls the screen down lol both scarts have the same pin outs

i dont have no imports at hand that have 60hz default i sold them with the last saturn i modded and im still waiting on my chip to come for backups to run on my console

thanx for the info

i have lifted vdp2 pin 79 and have connected it to the switchless mod just have minor fault getting 60hz (not a big deal but would be nice for everything to work properly)
could it be a problem with my lcd tv? hx803
i dont have no old tv's (crt)to test it on no pc monitor i use my tv
all other tv's in the house are lcd's
