Sega Saturn Gameshark question

Did this allow you to play imports? I've googled around and can't seem to get a definitive answer.

 

Try looking around for a Gameshark box picture. It should answer your question.

Yes. =D

 

It will let you play imports, but not backups.

 

Ok, sweet. Thanks guys

 

It's just my opinion, but I'm not fond of the third-party Saturn carts. The official memory expansions and save carts had tapered cart edges that eased into the slot, whereas the Gameshark and the 4-in-1 carts have square edges that are rougher to push in. If you're not inserting and removing cartridges all the time then it's not a big deal, but if you plan to swap out the cart a lot then I'd recommend you do the switch mod if you really need to play imports on a western Saturn unit.

 

Who still installs mod chips on Sega Saturns in the United States?

 

The Saturn cartridge port is crap anyway and probably will break if you keep swapping cartridges, so I'd go with what he said, or just buy a 4-in-1 and let it sit in the cart slot for all eternity like I did.

 

should be who has the right chips still for each saturn rev?
the install is easy.

 

You don't need a chip to play imports, it's just a jumper swap. Forgive me shilling for the site, but GamesX has a pretty comprehensive write-up on the mod:
