    I need one of these ASAP. I ruined my ribbon cable and need a new one. Hopefully someone can help me out, I can't play my beloved Saturn anymore.

    I assure you they weren't in stock on Segastyle for the past 2-3 weeks that I've been trying to find one because I've been checking that page every few days to see if it was in stock. I sent Assembler a PM so if that doesnt work out I'll just get the one from there.

    I already bought that and it's an inch too short. It's for their modchip, not the stock ribbon cable. I wasted my money on it.

    I've tried to locate one on Digi-Key and couldn't find one that was in stock or had the correct pin spacing. Found some perfect 20 pin ribbons though.

    Well it happened again. Let me show with pictures why these cables don't work.

    Hopefully the third time is the charm. I'm still looking for one. I need a LASER RIBBON CABLE replacement. The ones that come with modchips only reach as far as the modchip that is already plugged in so they are shorter.

    Maybe I can join these two together somehow. Would taping the 21 pins together be sufficient if I did it at an angle? If I just did it flat it would be backwards. This is really hard to draw...

    edit: I'll just buy a modchip I guess. Thread closed.
