    Just thought I'd pop this on here for anyone who is interested in the results.
    Gave me a good chance to test out my CD-ROM and SH-1 daughterboard from my Sophia unit.
    I don't have any SH-2 chips so I can't test them inside the Sophia sadly.
    Anyway, enjoy the video! :encouragement:

    Modchip causes the drive to skip checking the barcode on the edge of the disc. That's why it boots so fast with the modchip installed. :biggrin-new:

    Ohh! So modchips save old Saturn optical drives from overuse? :highly_amused:

    Pffffffft games, do I look like a game collector to you? :wink-new:
    I'm just content to play with the menus.
