No problem, at time friends and family just give to me their old video game systems. I just like doing the mods and don't want them to be trashed. At the moment I have a few original xboxes. Would rather they end up in homes of collectors then a trash bin.

Absolutely!
Makes me sad when I see people trash them, I have rescued a few systems from the bins.
Some were even perfectly fine just people either couldn’t or didn’t know how to connect them to the TV correctly!

Had my NGCD back yesterday after sending it out to get the SD loader installed and got some play time in today :)
Works great and the load times are at least half usually less than the original CD drive, Plus you obv dont have the drive noise etc even though I opted to keep my drive in so the system stays original.
Also much the same as a Unibios it allows you to switch regions before booting the game to JP, US or EU.

Got my Fenrir today. Finally. Took 3-4 weeks to arrive because it sat in an LA mail center forever. They got it “despatched” from England quick, though.
It got my “tested, working guaranteed” Japanese Saturn with the dead drive that’s been teasing me since June playable. Installs in about 5 minutes.
Works really well with the Action Replay. You boot into the replay, do your thing, then tell it to start a game. Then it boots to the Fenrir menu. You select a game and it loads almost instantly. Tested a few ram cart games and no issues.
I don’t remember the Saturn ever really having obnoxious load times, but it sure is quick on the Fenrir. ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I could never get working on CDRs in the 90s fired right up.
Contemplating buying that 3D printed mount that plugs up the holes from the removed CD drive. Price seems high but it looks nice ($25 shipped).
Anyway, this was truly a needless purchase but I wanted to recapture my childhood and celebrate a new job so here we are.
:cheers:

If you aren't in any hurry I'll print you one. Everything is in a holding pattern right now as I'm moving all my stuff into the house but once I get my printer moved in and properly calibrated I have a few things I need to print. One more isn't going to make any difference. The goal is to have my stuff over there by the end of the month.... more likely it'll be the middle of next month at the rate I'm going.

Nice,
I have a rhea and love it. It seems that power supply’s on Saturns are worth replacing with moderns replacements. I have a Dream cast that had a dead power supply that is now SD and the AC to DC conversation is now External using a cheep PC power supply and a simple internal board. I haven’t done this on my Saturn yet but it’s on my list.
Here is one:
