    In good working order. Australia preferred.

    Thanks!

    You want just a PSU? To be honest, you'd be better off finding a Saturn and Dreamcast on eBay or in the paper - you can sometimes find a loose console sold as seen, or get one with a dodgy laser. That's probably your cheapest and quickest solution.

    You didn't mention what model, by the way... you need to be specific!

    for saturn there are at least 3 different PSU's.

    a long version (~19cm) a short version (~16cm)

    and 4 pins as well as versions with 5 pins.

    Ah. I didn't know! I found one for my DC just need one for the Saturn. It's actually a Hi-Saturn (not navi) I guess I'll need to crack it open to see what model I need. alphagamer, is there was way to tell what model PSU belongs to which Saturn? Will it matter whether I get the long or short version? I just need to get one with the right amount of pins don't I?

    As far as i know there is no precise method to tell without opening it up.
    Given the number of pins matches, a small PSU will fit into a unit which normally requires a large PSU installed (although the plug for the AC cable will be in the case and not flush with the case), but not vice versa.

    you could cut the pins on the motherboard and solder some cables to the PSU, though!

    It should go on board revision, actually. Problem is, people think that Saturn revisions come down to "oval buttons" or "round buttons", whereas there are actually at least 12 board revisions.
