I'm planning to get a Saturn so I can chip to play back ups. Any tips or recommendations? Or is there a Saturn of a specific region I need?

You're best off getting a Saturn for your region. Whatever it may be.
For example NTSC-U/C - North America.
If the Sega Saturn's not going to have a region mod/cart on it then you need to patch ALL ISO's to your Region BEFORE burning. Or your modded system WILL reject it. That's how it goes.
I highly recommend a modchip over swap trick. So yeah, if you're gonna get one follow my advice.
Ignore the above post.
some saturns are unmoddable with a chip,
I believe its the one with 64 pins.
you really cant tell untill you open the saturn up.
So thats kinda hit and miss.
and most chips have a region switcher,
where you hold button combos like A+c while turning on for japan,
a+b for europe and none for usa as long as its a usa saturn.
the have model 1 and 2 saturns that look differently on the case.
and I beleive theres diff chips for the different models.
Buy a pre modded one from eBay. Problems solved.
Not really since you can't always trust eBay
How does the swap trick work on the Saturn anyway? Is it the same as using the Swap Trick on a PSX?
Ebay dosent sell modded consoles anymore anyways,
it will only work on one of the types of saturn.
check out borman sig for a tut.
Your facts are all wrong. Swap trick works on both model 1 and 2 Saturns. I have proof because I used to USE the swap trick on a model 2 Saturn. My general understanding is that swap trick works BETTER on model 1 Saturns than it does model 2 Saturns.
Wow, that modification seems simple.
I need some confirmation on the models thing though. But I guess I'll get a Model 1 Saturn.
Model 1 Saturn
Model 2 Saturn
I think that from what I've heard Model 2s are best for modding, and Model 1s are better for swap trickin' on.
