Saturn console models...

[Snark]

I bought a Saturn modchip and it says it must (or preferably) be installed on a "model 2" saturn...

So, is there a way to know which model you buy? I'll likely buy an import (JP) console.

Here's a model 1.

Here's a model 2.

The buttons are the biggest external giveaway.
Here's a recap of the versions.

There's no real need for a mod chip however. Though inconvenient, you can play all Saturn games using the swap trick, and to play Japanese games on a US console all you need to do is set your language to Japanese (seriously). Example.

Ok thanks.

Well, I already got the modchip so... And the swap method is reputed to be damaging in the middle/long-term for the motor or drive. And a chip is much faster too.

null.

you don't have to worry, finding a model 1 these days is pretty rare, you'll most likely get a model 2 by default, saturns aren't easy to come by already but model 1s are practically unobtainable (and model 2s are just better IMO)

you should have probably asked the seller about the model. I doubt he actually took that picture.

And this was someone with good feedback?

Yeah, but what does it really mean?

Small and large transactions carry the same weight in the feedback summary. It is therefore easy for a dishonest user to initially build up a deceptive positive rating by buying or selling a number of very low value items, such as e-books, recipes, etc., then subsequently switching to fraud.

It means exactly what it says.

My question was rhetorical. I meant a high positive feedback is not necessarily indicative of a good or even honest seller.

Next time, use italics or emoticons for emphasis.

What's with this mindless quoting of the entire message, when the thread is available right there above your message? Quoting on Usenet made sense since you didn't always have access to the original message, but here, except in moderation, is just retarded.

It has a lot to do with the edit button and making sure the comment isn't taken out of "missing context".

[blackmyst]

Well yeah, there's more to feedback than just the number (though if you're looking at something like 100000 transactions, that seems hard to fake...). If I buy anything substantial I usually take a quick look at a few random auctions the seller has completed and received good feedback on, just to be sure.

Ok, Saturn now boots it's bios and play fine...
